Re-exam

If you received a grade of -3 or 00 in the ordinary exam—i.e., for the the exam project and the written exam, then you have failed the course. If you fail the course, you must take the re-exam.

The re-exam consists of a 15-minute oral examination on one of the topics listed below.

Note: Neither the exam project nor the written exam has any impact on the grading of the re-exam. The re-exam is graded solely on the 15-minute oral examination.

The re-exam works as follows:

  • You wait outside the examination room.
  • When it is your turn, you enter the room without any materials (no textbook or notes).
  • You randomly draw one of the topics listed below.
  • You immediately present the topic for 6–7 minutes.
  • The examiner and censor then ask questions for 6–7 minutes.
  • When the time is up, the examination ends.
  • You leave the room while the examiner and censor decide on a grade.
  • You re-enter the room and receive your grade along with brief feedback.

Topics

  1. Conditionals and Loops
  2. Arrays
  3. Functions and Recursion
  4. Classes and Objects
  5. Interfaces and Inheritance
  6. Generics and Collections

This is a programming course. The examiner and censor expect to see correct Java code on the whiteboard.

The re-exam is NOT about the project. The re-exam is about the course syllabus.
