Exam Schedule

Hi, Mabel.

Hi,John.

Could you please give me some information of exam schedule?

I will be happy to. The dates for the first term are December 9 to December 23 . The

dates for the second term are April 11 to April 30.

How long are exams?

Exams are normally three-hour long. You must book a room for a three-hour

exam.The department will arrange an invigilator. Early next month, there will be

a sign up sheet posted on the bulletin board in the faculty lounge. You can choose a

square on this draft shedule. The dean then receive it, then draws up the final

schedule to avoid students in the Science Faculty having two exams scheduled at the

same time.

That's a good idea. So I just have to sign the sheet in the faulty lounge asking when I

want my exam.

Yes, it is not at all certain that when the exam will be , but it gives Dean Acheson a

place to start. He still have to do most of it manually,consulting his computer to see

which students registered in each course have oder exams. Doing an exam schedule is

quite complex. Quite often, he consults the schedule from the previous year.
