[Fall Break] Sustainable Computing Systems

Dear students,

Tomorrow we will have Sophie Kolb from "Netzwerk Entwicklungspolitik im Saarland e.V." (what roughly translates to "Sustainable Development Network in Saarland") as a guest in the plenum. This is your chance to ask questions — including broader ones — about theoretical and political problems of sustainability, which don't necessarily need to relate to computer science. Further, she co-authored U04 and can help you close potential gaps you have from reading the chapter.

We hope to see many of you tomorrow.

Best regards,
Your SCS Team
 

Dear SCS students,

Less than one week are between all of us and the start of "Sustainable Computing Systems". We're excited about that and hope you are too.

For now, the most important thing is that we start Mo, 07th September at 09:45 in E1.3 Lecture Hall 003.

As we have gotten various inquiries regarding presence requirements, here is some clarification:

As of today, the only mandatory event to be present is the (re)examination. This gives you the maximum flexibility w.r.t. to other obligations like exams, internships, etc. At the same time, we are convinced that attending only this single event leaves you with a low likelihood of passing. Note that we do not record anything. You only get access to slides and best-effort notes from the plenum. Please mix and match our three presence formats (lecture, active plenum, and office hour) with self-study periods and asynchronous participation in the forum. You are students in higher semesters and we believe you can manage this and find good, individual solutions.

Best regards and see you soon,
The SCS Team
