# Exam Preparation, Exams, Grading
Each course at ETH works slightly differently in this regard. Some courses offer a grade bonus for completing assignments during the semester,
while others don't. Others still have parts of the grade determined by project work or similar, while there is one course in particular that has exam-like optional quizzes twice

## What if I am sick at an exam?
[This](https://www.ethz.ch/content/dam/ethz/common/docs/weisungssammlung/files-de/pruefungsplan.pdf) is the official ETH document for the exams.
It is also accessible as a link in MyStudies via the Session Examinations tab.
First of all, it is important that you don't go to an exam if you don't feel well enough to achieve a good score,
or if you have a contagious infection, as that would put the other students at risk.
If you ever have to miss an exam as a result of falling sick, these are the things you need to do.
### For end of term exams
In most cases, you need to contact the teaching team at least an hour before the start of the exam.
You can do that either via Email (from your ETH email) or by phone, telling them that you are sick.
Typically no doctor's note is required in these cases.
If you fall ill still before the end of the official de-registration period and know that you won't make it to the exam, simply de-register
### For session exams that are NOT part of a block
Contact the [exams office](mailto:exams@ethz.ch) from your ETH email address, or [call them](tel:+41446322068), both at least an hour before the start of the exam.
That's it, you are de-registered from the exam and you can simply sign up to the repetition exam.

### For session exams that are part of a block
This is only relevant to the first year students at D-INFK.
You need to contact the [exams office](mailto:exams@ethz.ch) from your ETH email address, or [call them](tel:+41446322068), both at least an hour before the start of the exam.
Then, make a doctors appointment to get your doctors note. This is required to suspend an examination block.
As soon as you have that, email it to the exams office from your ETH email address.
You will be retaking the exam the following semester.
