Important Information on the Exam

Written on 06.08.2026 16:59 by Sarah Sterz

Hello all,

The first exam of Ethics for Nerds will take place tomorrow. Please read the following carefully:

  • Your assigned lecture hall and seat might have changed. Check it again on your personal status page (scroll down to see the section “Exam Seats”) again. Remember that only students who have an assigned seat can partake in the exam. If you think that something is wrong with your seat, get in touch with me as soon as possible.
  • We will start at 9:30 am with the exam. Please be in front of your assigned lecture hall at 9:20 at the very latest. Students who are late might be denied entry to the lecture hall and therefore cannot participate in the exam.
  • The exam will take 120 minutes.
  • You will need your student ID card, as well as a pen with indelible black or blue ink, preferably a ballpoint pen. Fountain pen ink that can be erased with ink eradicators ("Tintenkiller") is not indelible and therefore not allowed to be used in the exam.
  • You may bring one handwritten, double-sided DIN-A4 cheat sheet. The cheat sheet must not be a printout, not even of something that you wrote by hand.
  • You will be given your printed summaries along with your exam.
  • If you bring food, make sure that it's not noisy or smelly.
  • The exam looks a bit different than in the years before. Especially, less writing is needed, which students have always complained about. If you want to familiarize yourself with the types of exam questions that you will see tomorrow, you can take a look under Information > Special Exam Question Types.

If you have any urgent questions regarding the organizational details of the exam, please get in touch with me in time.

See you tomorrow!
Sarah


One more hint:

  • Only answer the exam question, and don't write more. Especially, if you are not asked for a definition, you do not have to give one.
