The meet link has been uploaded on infostud and it will be sent again by email using infostud when reservation closes, the exam key will be provided on the meet room.

The preferred browser is seb: https://safeexambrowser.org/download_en.html

In order to train yourself with the system, I have created an example remote exam, accessible with the key: BZp5XD

Solutions for the example exam: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lwMdDYeuvNuQEZKHKGCt-DPOr9BEmGiD/view?usp=sharing

You have to go at this page: https://exam.net/ and insert the above key. Once the key and some information are inserted you enter in the exam. Note that if you leave the page your exam will be frozen (in the example exam it automatically unlocks after 90 seconds, during the real exam I will need to unlock it upon checking that no cheating goes on using the meet connection).

You can write the solution using the textbox or attach a picture of your paper using a phone with a camera, internet and a QR scanner (kind of required for the last exercise).

English instructions are at this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rq42xc4v4md6vkv/e-written_exams.pdf (Many thanks to Prof. D'Amore Fabrizio for writing these instructions).

Books, notes and slide can be used during the exam. Electronic devices are not allowed. The booking on infostud is mandatory.

The exam will be divided in two parts:

  1. Part one consists in a written test containing several exercises, including the design of a distributed algorithm with a (formal) sketch of its correctness.

  2. Part two is an oral test, based on a discussion of your written test results. Other questions will be asked to assess the knowledge of the course content.
