Concurrent Programming

Dear students,

on Monday, May 18, 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. (Only use this link to contact us – due to individual absences, we may be unable to react to emails.)

Please arrive at your assigned lecture hall no later than 14:15.

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 15) in E1 3, SR013 from 14:00 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 Monday, 18.05.26, we'll write the midterm exam.

You must 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.

To help you prepare for the midterm exam, 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, 15.05.26, 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 room E1 3, SR 013.

Lastly, we have released Bonus Exercise D. 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.

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,

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!

Earlier this week, we published exercise sheet A. Note that the solution for exercise EA.3 is to be handed in by 19.04.2026 23:59. Because of the late announcement of the Colloquium groups, submission is optional (but highly recommended) this time.

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

Dear students,

you will now find the Exercise Sheet A in dCMS.

Note that you are required to hand in the solution for exercise EA.3 prior to the colloquium (19.04.2026, 23:59 at the latest). For this, you have to collaborate within your group. We will finalize the colloquia groups by the end of this week. Submission for the exercise will open in dCMS once the groups are created.

We will not notify you of new materials via dCMS news in the future. If you want to be notified, watch this topic in our forum.

Kind regards,
Your Concurrent Programming Team
