Student criticizes the final exam in anonymous letter
In an anonymous letter from Tuesday evening, a student makes the « Luxembourg word » on an incident in one Final examination attentive to art history. In the exam on Tuesday afternoon in question, a building was shown « that the large majority of the test subjects probably identified incorrectly. Only 20 minutes before the end of the examination did the Ministry of Education be officially informed of which building it was actually. »
At that time, many test subjects had already completed their discussion, which, among other things, had the relevant building, or were « shortly before the delivery ». Despite the misleading task and the need for an intervention by the ministry, no extension of the examination period was granted. The exam took place between 2:15 p.m. and 4.15 p.m.
« A fair evaluation appears doubtful under these circumstances, especially since the discussion is designed for a precise architectural assignment, » says the noticeably grinded German letter. « Many high school graduate: The final words feel disadvantaged inside, » said « but » do not want to take a public position for understandable reasons. «
Instructions on corrators on Wednesday
