Dear students,

As you already know, there will be an in-person project defense on the 2nd of August. By default, we assume that you are available for the whole day, and we can freely assign you a time slot. If this is not the case, please write a message to @Organizers in our forum by Tuesday, 25th of July at the latest.

Just as a friendly reminder, you need to submit an implementation for Starship to qualify for the bonus (see mission briefing).

Another news is that Qualis has returned the results of the course evaluation. Thank you for providing feedback and suggestions! You can find the evaluation result (without free-form answers) in the course materials.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team

Dear students,

We created the project repositories in dGit for you. In case you cannot access your repository, please contact us immediately via private message to @Organizers in the forum.

Please also have a look at the Projects category in the forum. In particular, the post How to Project in VS Code explains how to set up your IDE for working on the project, and the post Running Automatic Tests contains further details about the automatic testing infrastructure.

Have fun coding!

Kind regards,

Dear students,

You will now find a Bonus Exercise H in dCMS.

Submitting solutions to this exercise is entirely optional, and we recommend you only work on it if you already have a deep understanding of the main materials presented in the lecture.

Note that you may also submit partial solutions. If you do submit this exercise, you may be awarded bonus points. You can find more details on the bonus exercise sheet itself.

For this bonus exercise, you are not allowed to work in your group, i.e., you must solve it by yourself. Plagiarism will be punished by exclusion from the lecture and reporting to the examination board.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team

Dear students,

Dear Students,

you can now find the results of exam T on your personal status page. If you have obtained 30 points or more, you have passed the exam. A grade for the entire course (including potential bonus points) will be calculated once the results of exam A are available.

However, you can determine a preliminary grade by comparing your point sum with the output of this pseuCo program (best viewed using the Random path feature): https://pseuco.com/#/edit/remote/7ahkuohtwu7vvtxpouk6

Dear students,

As explained, colloquia form an important component of our learning concept. See here for details.

The survey to schedule your preferred time slot for the colloquium is online now. You can find your personalized link to the survey on your personal status page in dCMS. You can update your preferences until Tuesday, 18.04.2023, 23:59. At least one member of each pre-formed group, and all students who do not pre-form a group, must submit the survey.

Until Tuesday, you can also form (and change) the colloquium groups yourself. Afterwards, we will complete the groups and assign you a time slot. You can find further information in the forum.
