(Take a minute now to find out which room you will be seated in and do not forget to bring your ID card)

Registration for the re-exam is now possible in LSF/HISPOS. Do not forget to also register on the course website.

As a reminder, the re-exam will take place on April 4th from 14:00 - 16:00.

Participants will again be split over two different rooms:

• HS 1 in E2 5
• Room 21 in C4 3

Exact seating will be announced separately.

Any grade bonus that you may have achieved through your homework points, is not yet taken into account for your exam grade. Only your final course grade will reflect your homework scores. These grades will be finalized following the re-exam in early April.

As a reminder, a grade bonus achieved through homework points can not be taken into account if you did not pass the written exam first.

The exam has been graded and each of you can view their achieved exam grade on their personal page. Due to technical limitations, there will also be a failing grade displayed for those of you who have not (yet) taken the exam.

As a reminder, you have the option to review your graded exams between 10-12 o'clock in room 015 of building E1 3 on March 19th. (In case you can not make it on that date in person, you can give written permission to a friend who can review your exam on your behalf.)

The re-exam is currently scheduled for April 4th. If you want to participate, please again register for it as soon as possible, in HISPOS as well as on our website.

The exam will start at 9:00 sharp, so in your own interest, be a bit early.

Students with an ID / matriculation number above 2557000 will take the exam in the Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal in E2 2

Between 2pm and 3:30pm on Wednesday (February 27th), we will offer an optional, general "consultation hour" (Sprechstunde) in the "rotunde" on the 5th floor of building E1 4. Please note that this event is only intended for for questions about the course homeworks and general lecture content. We will not be able to answer any questions about the upcoming exam.

The purpose of this announcement is to help you prepare for the Data Networks exam. In principle, the exam covers all content discussed in the lectures and the tutorials. However, the focus will lie on tasks asking you to apply your knowledge, i.e., there will be very few questions expecting free-text, essay-like answers. Be prepared to solve tasks by applying your knowledge to a variety of scenarios, covering all network layers and their interactions. For the exam you may bring along a one A4 page with notes as auxiliary material. Below you find the meta content of the exam.

Good luck!

Multiple Choice Introduction Text

The following questions are multiple choice questions. Each question consists of 4-5 answer choices. At least one choice is true and at least one choice is false. Please mark all the true choices with a cross. To correct a misplaced cross, draw an empty circle symbol to the left of the statement. For each question, points will only be given if all choices are marked correctly.

Assignment 10 will be delayed for a week and only go online January 16th. This means that (following that date) there will be tutorial sessions without a fixed topic. We ask you to use the upcoming "free" week to revise all the material you have learned so far and identify topics that you still have trouble with. Please post any questions you would like to discuss in the open topic tutorials in this forum thread as soon as possible so that the tutors can prepare.

Please note that we have moved the deadline for the tutorial registration forward by a day, to Wednesday 24th, 6pm.

That way, we have a bit more room to finalize the distribution before the first tutorial on Friday.

You still have the chance to change your preferences in your registration page before then.

ANY PREVIOUS TUTORIAL ASSIGNMENT YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD HAS BEEN INVALIDATED.

You will only be assigned your actual tutorial slot after the deadline.
