flExam - flexible examination dates
The project
flExam was launched in the winter semester 2022/23 as an extended pilot project for digital in-person exams. Students are able to book their examination dates (slots) flexibly within the framework of fixed examination weeks.
The advantages
The use of flExam reduces the organizational workload for instructors at the university. As students have several examination dates at the end of the semester, there is less need to take into account clashes with examinations of other courses. This not only increases examination activity, but also increases room utilization. Incidentally, the proctorization is provided centrally by us.
FAQs
What are the advantages of participating in flExam for me as an instructor?
flExam not only gives students more flexibility, but also benefits you as an instructor. The central handling and execution of exams by the flExam team allows you to use your time resources elsewhere. The flExam team can also assist you with the development or editing of exam questions.
Where can I get more information about flExam exams?
If you are interested in further information, please contact the flExam team: flexam(at)uni-graz.at
How much earlier do I have to register to take part in an exam bundle?
The earlier you announce your wish to participate, the better we can plan together. Ideally, you should register with the flExam team about 1 month before the planned exam date. If you need help with the switch from analog to digital exam modality, we also ask you to register with the flExam team as early as possible in order to be able to offer sufficient support. As the number of flExam exams is constantly increasing, we can only accept new participants upon request.
What is an exam bundle?
There is an exam bundle every month (except for January and August). An exam bundle consists of several slots or dates within one week, from which students can freely choose a date. It is not compulsory to take part in every bundle.
