Lecture this Week
This week, we will have a mini lecture on the final reports. Since the lecture will not be very long, it will only start at 9:00, instead of 8:30! We will go over the task description of the last project phase, I will give you a few tips and hints that might be helpful and you will be able to ask any questions you might have. The lecture will be recorded, as usual. So if you cannot attend, you will still be able to get the information you need to know.
Guest Lectures
Originally, it was planned that Kevin will give some guest lectures. Unfortunately, he is unable to do so and we decided that the best option would be to provide you with the recordings of last year’s lectures by him. You can find them in the Materials section. These lectures are not obligatory for the exam, in the sense that you will be able to get 100% of the points without having watched these videos. They might nevertheless be helpful for some exercises in the exam. They are project relevant, though, so at least a few people per team should have watched the videos!
Next week and the week after that, we will not have an in-person lecture.
Feedback for Project Phase 4
You can now see your results for Project Phase 4. If your assignment says “revise and resubmit” or “fail”, then you are eligible to make changes and resubmit it again on your personal status page. Your feedback may tell you that you only have to revise and resubmit a certain task, usually issue no. 4. In this case, you do not have to upload all other tasks again. The deadline for this is June 28, 18:00. The submission for this will open tomorrow.
If your submission says “pass”, you do not have to upload a revised version again!
Change in Admission Criteria
The requirement that you might only have a revise and resubmit in two project phases was suspended. You can have any number of revises and resubmits and will still be eligible for exam admission. Note, though, that it will not be possible to revise and resubmit an individual project phase twice. If you fail a revision, then you failed the exam admission criteria and cannot take part in the exam. Also note that there are no revises and resubmits of Final Reports! If you fail the final report, you will not be able to attend the exam.
But, don’t worry if Project Phase 4 was you second or even third revise and resubmit – that will not be an issue. :)
