We try hard to avoid mistakes but if you think we made a mistake, please check first with the help of your problem sheet and the sample solution. Please keep in mind that the points given above are the minimum needed to obtain a certain grade. If you think we made a mistake, please proceed as follows:
  • Step 1: Please send an email with a brief list as text (such a list makes it much easier to give you informative feedback while still protecting your personal data) of the points you expect to obtain for each question to the office of the chair (please include your name and your matriculation number, please do not include any scans or other attachments). We will then compare your list with our list.

    If you have given us a detailed list with your points for each question, and there are only one or two deviations, then we can give you informative feedback.

    If you have not given us a detailed list with your points, then all we can normally do is tell you that after we checked your exam nothing changes. Of course, should we ever discover a mistake, we will fix it (the procedure seems to be quite reliable, so there are very, very few mistakes).

  • Step 2: If we can not find a mistake in our grading and if you disagree, you can have a look at a copy of your solution. Here is a sample how (a part of) a graded solution might look like:
    In this case please make an appointment with the office of the chair . You will need a photo ID as a proof of your identity. It will also help you if you have a copy of your questions and the solution sheet ready.
  • Step 3: If you are still unsatisfied with your grade you can formally appeal the decision with the Prüfungsamt (examination office).
