Theopractical Sheet #3: New Submission Format
Written on 12.06.2025 16:49 by Roman Wetenkamp
Dear all,
yesterday, a student of our course notified me that there is a security vulnerability in the CMS Online Test feature. As long as this vulnerability is not patched, we will adjust the modalities of exercise sheets slightly. You will need to submit your answers bundled in a single JSON file as a regular CMS submission instead of the online test.
You find a PDF file with the exercises in the corresponding NextCloud folder in CMS. Additionally, there is a file template.json that you please use for your submission. Replace my name and my matriculation number with your own and fill the "question_x" values accordingly. The expected answer format is also described in the PDF Sheet.
For multiple choice questions, please submit a JSON Array with all answer options that you consider valid.
Example:
How hot is it today in Saarbrücken?
[] I need a jacket, it's too cold
[] Above 30°C? Really?!
[] Just a normal day in Autumn
Expected Answer:
["Above 30°C? Really?!"]
If you consider multiple answers correct, it would accordingly be:
["Above 30°C? Really?!", "Just a normal day in Autumn"]
Make sure to use valid quotation marks. Having everything in a single JSON file should make it easier to validate your file.
If you face any problems or have questions regarding the format or the questions, please use the forum.
Lastly, please note that there is a bank holiday on next Thursday. The next exercise session takes place on June 26 in CISPA's lecture hall.
Enjoy the sun! ☀️
Best,
Roman
