Now is a good time to check that your exams are in order for the new academic year:

See which Examinarium exams are open in Sisu for the autumn, and check that the corresponding exams are available in Examinarium. In order to check the Sisu implementation used by the Examinarium exam, open the exam settings and look at the information in the “Course name” field. In particular, check the dates after the name.

For the new academic year, new implementations in Sisu for Examinarium exams are usually created. If an old Examinarium exam is used as a basis for the new one, take a copy of the old exam and link it with the new implementation. At the same time, the questions and instructions of the exam can be updated.

• Select the new Sisu implementation by entering the full course code in the search field.
• If you cannot find the right implementation, please contact the person who creates the implementations for your study programme (Examinarium shows the implementations that have started and those that will start within three months).
• It is good practice to match the exam period to with the duration of the implementation. This makes it easier to see when an implementation has ended.
• See detailed instructions for copying

Assessment:

• If you use personal Examinarium exams, remind your students to register in Sisu for the implementation used for the exam. Otherwise, the grades cannot be recorded to Sisu either automatically from Examinarium, or manually by teacher.
• Assessments are picked from Examinarium to Sisu once, the night after the assessment is locked. Only assessments that have been locked as a “whole course grade” are recorded to Sisu.
• If the student’s registration in Sisu is missing or the assessment does not go through for any other reason, you will receive the message “Assessment transfer from Exam to Sisu failed” the following morning.

If your exam has optional sections, be sure to instruct this in the exam basic information under ” Instructions visible for the student during the exam booking”.

If your exam has any special requirements in terms of software or hardware equipment, this should be indicated in the instructions displayed during the exam booking process. This will affect not only the choice of exam venue, but also the possibility of taking the exam as a study visit at another university.
