Mock Midterm Exam and XXL Office Hour
Written on 19.11.2025 17:49 by Lukas Czulak
Dear students,
We, the team of tutors, will organize a mock midterm exam (“Probeklausur”). The mock exam is completely voluntary. It is a chance for you to see how exams are conducted at university, under conditions that are as realistic as possible. It does not contribute to the final grade or eligibility for taking exams. The mock exam is entirely created by tutors. Therefore, its content is neither relevant nor irrelevant for the real exam.
The mock exam is scheduled for Saturday, November 29 at 10:00. To participate, you are expected to be in front of the lecture hall at 9:45 at the latest.
For practical reasons, we are restricting the mock exam to students who (are admitted or) can possibly be admitted to the midterm exam. This means that your personal status page must show a point total of at least 10 points in the mini-tests by now.
You will have to register for the mock exam on your personal status page in the dCMS by November 27, 23:59. To avoid printing too many exams, the registration for the mock exam is binding. If you decide to not attend the exam, please deregister on your personal status page. After the registration phase is over, we will assign you a lecture hall and seat. You will then be able to see your seat assignment on your personal status page in the dCMS. If you want to participate, please be on time and bring your student and photo ID. No auxiliary materials (calculator, cheat sheets, …) are allowed.
The mock exam will take around 90 minutes. We will not grade your exams. Instead, you are expected to keep your exam booklet afterwards and check for yourself. Suggested solutions will be uploaded to the dCMS after the exam.
There is yet another announcement to make: On Thursday before the midterm exam (December 4), there will be an additional XXL office hour from 14:00 to 18:00 in SR 015 + SR 016 in E1 3. There you can ask all questions you might have regarding the midterm content. The regular office hour on that day will thus not take place.
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Cheers,
Your Programming 1 tutors
