Exam Information Retrieval WS 18/19

Here is the PDF of the written exam and here is a version of the exam with solutions (unsuitable for learning + no guarantee for correctness)

Written Exam

The written exam for the course took place on Tuesday, February 27th, 2020 from 10:15 - 12:45 h (sharp) in rooms 101-00-010/14 (for participants with last name beginning with A-E) and room 82-00-006 (Kinohörsaal, same building as the mensa, for participants with last name beginning with F-Z).

56 people participated in the exam. It was not allowed to leave the room before the end of the exam. The exams will be corrected and the results entered into the !HISinOne on the same day.

The exam inspection will take place on Friday, March 6, 2020, 15:15 - 16:15 h in room 051-02-028 (office Prof. Bast).

A maximum of 100 points could be reached. The minimum number of points needed to pass the exam was 50. The assignment of points to marks and the distribution of grades over the participants was as follows. Note that the counts on the right-hand side sum up to 56, which happens to be the number of people who participated in the exam. This is no coincidence.
