Today I had an oral exam in Denmark – in Boston. Via Skype. It was a strange feeling sitting in my room in my apartment being at an exam.

The exam was based on a group project, so my two group members went in first, and then the examiner called my on Skype, and my exam had started. Formally the only requirement for me was being able to prove that I was alone in the room, so I gave them a quick tour of the room, and sat with the door in the background for the exam. Other than that, the exam was no different than a regular oral exam; they asked questions, I answered, ping pong.

The exam went well (really the project report was the most important thing), so I got the grade 10 (comparing to an American “B”, I guess). Now my semester at the IT University in Denmark is over, and I have a week before the semester starts in Boston.
