The Examination

Past Papers

Past papers are available on a central DCU service. I include links to some old papers here for historical reasons (the central archive used to feature scanned copies of the printed paper, rather than a copy of the source PDF file). Note: In past papers for EE562 for sessions prior to Semester II, 2017/18, only Section B of the paper is relevant to the current version of the module.

  • Resits for EE562 were not offered before 2009.
  • PDFs of papers from 2012-13 onwards are archived centrally by DCU
  • No model solutions are available for these papers.
  • Each student was provided an individual exam paper in Semester 2, 2019-2020. Two representative papers are shown in PDF format
  • The papers for the online exams in August 2020 and both Semester II and the resit of subsequent years should be available as PDFs (but not as Word docs) on the main DCU archive.
  • The Word versions of papers for recent online exams are linked to below.

Covid-19

There were some changes in exam format in academic year 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 and any resurgence of the pandemic may potentially affect the current academic year. The University will advise you of any changes in examination procedures, and the module coordinator will advise you of any implications for the exam format.
