Procedure of the test
The exams are written. Non-programmable calculator, writing materials and student ID are to be brought along! Cell phones are to be turned off before the exam! Paper will be provided. Only writing materials, calculator and student ID are allowed on the workstation. No documents (formularies, scripts, etc.) brought to the exam are allowed. Working time is usually 90 minutes.
Lecture hall layout
If there is a choice of several lecture halls in a building for an examination date and no explicit allocation has been made before the start of the examination, the lecture halls will be allocated via notices at the lecture hall entrances shortly before the start of the examination (at the latest 1/2 hour before). If examinations are held at several BOKU locations, you will receive an e-mail from us at the latest 12:00 noon before the examination, from which you can see the examination location.
Substance of the exam
The examination material is the material read in the last lecture cycle. It is recommended to take the exam no later than 1 year after the lecture, as the lecture material may change. No materials (formulary, lecture notes, etc.) are allowed on the exam. Physics Exams: Theory questions and computational examples (approximately 50:50) will be examined. An attempt will be made to provide questions and examples from as many chapters as possible. Thus, no chapter is preferred.
Results
The results and the date of inspection are published in BOKUonline. Certificates are usually issued no later than 4 weeks after the examination. Therefore, choose the examination date in time if you have to meet deadlines!
Office hours
The office hours vary depending on the course instructor.
