Work flow procedure:
1. Students who will take the exam (either from the current year or from previous years) will pre-register by email at: equipare.instalatii.uauim@gmail.com with name, surname, no. registration number, year and group and an email address on which the communication with the teachers will be made. The email will only be sent by the group leader after he has collected the above information from colleagues. Deadline - not later than 1 day before the date of the exam (17.06.2021).
2.We will organize an online session for the entire year study: from 13.15 a Zoom.us connection, distribution by classes, ID check, e.s.o; exam start on the Exam.net platform at 13.30; 60 minutes duration
3. You will be asked to answer 10 topics.
4. The finale note will be calculated based on the answers from the written part (max. 1 point per question)
In order to get acquainted with the two platforms mentioned above, we ask that students access the information from the pages https://support.exam.net/ and https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us as well as the available video guides on both platforms.
