Exam reviews for Summer Semester 2023

The exam review for the exams written in the summer semester 2023 will again be held online. Starting from today until October 25 2023 at 23:59, we will provide you the possibility to register online for the exams you want to review.
Please use the following link for the registration, by specifying the exam you want to review:

https://mytuc.org/kjzx

Please note that registration for the exam review is required for organizational reasons. Furthermore, we do not disclose sample solutions during the exam review.

The actual exam review will take place in presence on Oct 26 2023 at 11:30-15:00 and Nov 02 2023 at 15:00-17:00. You can freely choose, when you want to come in for the review, although you can do so only once. Please consider that each review per exam takes probably about 10 minutes. Thus, arriving later than 10 minutes to the end you might have no chance to review anymore. This adds up accordingly if you want to review more than one exam.

The exam review will take place in the FRIZ computer pool A11.201 (old: 1/B201). Please bring your student ID and wait for the door as you will be let in one by one. More information on the process of the presence exam review can be found in the edu FAQ. If you have further questions after reading the FAQ, you can send your question by mail to us via vsr-edu@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de.
