Informing and Testing
The right to information
Already at the beginning of the semester, students are to be informed about the type of examination and the associated procedures (incl. information on attempted cheating, non-attendance, failure, disadvantage compensation).
If the module final examination (MAP) is to be carried out as a digital examination (distance examination, supervised distance written, oral or practical examination, digital written examination in attendance), the students must always be informed about the following issues at the beginning of the event or within a reasonable period of time before the MAP (§ 107 a 12th amendment ZSP-HU):
- Right of choice in the case of a remote supervision examination; the end of the period of the right of choice may not be before the time of the information (§ 96b par. 4, sentence 3)
- Processing of their personal data (cf. also Art. 12 - 21 of the GDPR): type of data processed, purpose of processing, time limits for storage and deletion (recording and storage of the MAP is prohibited, § 96a, para. 2).
- Technical requirements necessary to carry out the MAP, e.g. camera, microphone, software
- Organisational conditions of the examination, e.g. supervision, location (e-examination centre), examination preparation, authentication
