Dear students,

you can now find the results of the midterm exam on your personal status page. If you have obtained 31 points or more, you have passed the exam (why?). 84.5% of participating students have passed the exam, the highest score achieved was 56.5 out of 60 points, the median was 40.5 points.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team

Dear students,

on Tuesday, May 20, we will write the midterm exam, covering units A-D. If you registered for the exam, you will find your room and seat on your personal status page. If we did not assign you a seat and you think that this is an error, please notify us immediately.
Please arrive at your assigned lecture hall no later than 10:15.

We have two reminders for you:

• To assist you in the final phase before the exam and answer your last-minute questions, our tutors are offering an extended Concurrency Café XXL on Friday (May 16) from 14:00 in E1 3, SR015 until 18:00.
• Your submitted summaries A through D will be stapled and delivered to you with the exam. Additionally, you may also bring a single, one-sided, hand-written A5 cheat sheet. The back of your cheat sheet must contain your matriculation number, and nothing else. You will have to hand in the cheat sheet at the end of the midterm exam, so don’t forget to take a picture of it if you want it as a guide for creating any potential re-exam cheat sheets.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team

Dear students,

in two weeks, on Tuesday, 20.05.25, we’ll write the midterm exam. To help you prepare, we are offering two additional events:

• Next Monday at 14:15, we will replace the lecture with a Q&A session (in the usual lecture hall). There, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions on anything covered in the lecture so far.
  You can ask questions live in the lecture. However, we encourage you to pre-submit your questions so we can prepare an answer. The Q&A session will not be recorded.
• On Friday, 16.05.25, the Concurrency Café is being supersized and turns into a Concurrency Café XXL. It will start at 14:00 but run longer, and our tutors have prepared additional training exercises for you. The session will be held in the usual room (E1 3, SR 015).

We would also like to remind you to register in dCMS for the exam. The registration closes one week before the exam. If you miss this deadline, you will be unable to participate in the exam.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team

Dear students,

we have now finished assigning you to your tutorials and colloquia.

For the tutorials, you can now find your tutorial time and room information on your personal status page. We were able to find a solution where everyone has been assigned their preferred time and language combination.

For the colloquia, you will find your group and slot on your personal status page in dCMS. To contact your teammates, use the forum. Their usernames are provided on your personal status page as well. Make sure you have activated your forum account, otherwise your teammates will not be able to contact you!
If your colloquium is on Monday, please coordinate with your assigned tutor to find a solution for Easter Monday.

Yesterday, we published exercise sheet A. Note that you are required to hand in the solution for exercise EA.3 by 20.04.2025 23:59. This is a group submission, i.e., you have to coordinate within your group and submit a single solution together.

We won’t notify you of new material releases via news. If you do wish to be notified, please enable notifications on this forum topic.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team
