Course syllabus

Welcome to the course: Methods for studying dialogue, 7.5 credits

 

 

Exam

The link for the exam is above.

This is a timed exam. From the moment you start, you will have 1 hour to finish it. You can complete it any time between  7:00 AM to 23:59 PM on Tuesday 2nd November.

The exam contains 18 questions, giving a total of 100 points. In some questions, you will have to mark one or more correct answers (Multiple choice questions require only 1 answer and they are indicated with round tick-boxes; Multiple Answers questions might have 1 or more correct answers and they are indicated with squarish tick-boxes. ). In other questions, you will have to fill in some information into an answer box provided.

You will have 60 minutes to complete this exam.

Do not spend too much time on any individual question. If you have trouble with one question skip it and come back to it later. Make sure you have read all the questions well before time is up. Answer all the questions even if you have to do it without thinking. In my experience, you will be surprised how often you know the correct answer intuitively.

This is an open book exam but you are not allowed to communicate with each other during the exam time. Any evidence of discussion of the exam or collaboration will count as plagiarism.
