1 Access to the exam server
If your exam does not take place on the university premises but remotely, you will usually need a VPN client to connect to the university network. You should test well in advance whether everything works.
- Install and test the VPN client
- Test access to the eAssessment server (ask for the server address if necessary)
2 Date and registration
Make sure that you are registered for the exam date.
3 Recommended aids
3.1 Create a formula sheet
I recommend and permit a formula sheet handwritten by yourself, comprising 2 pages on one sheet. The formula sheet is handed in with the exam and retained. The formula sheet should contain formulas and sketches.
3.2 Get a calculator
I recommend and permit a non-programmable calculator from the Casio FX82 series.
3.3 Bring a pen
I recommend that you bring a pen so that you can take notes on the sheets provided.
4 Further practice exercises
In the folder ‘Exercises EE1/Further exercises for EE1’ you will find:
- 54 knowledge exercises EE1-xx.Ky (K for knowledge)
- 11 further calculation exercises EE1-xx.Ry (R for German Rechnen, calculating)
5 Even more practice exercises
The scripts and workbooks by Jim Fiore, e.g. ‘DC Electrical Circuits’, contain numerous practice exercises with solutions.
6 Learning and working with focus
What helps me a great deal to work and learn with focus: binaural beats from Brain.fm.
I have described in more detail in my blog what this is and how it works:
