Liebe Studierende,

Welcome to Space Informatics!

This news contains important information such as the planned course structure, and how to remotely participate in the course's events.

Live Event:

We ask you to be present at the live event tomorrow, April 15 at 2pm, taking place in Zoom. You find the participation link in the Materials page in our dCMS.

Course Structure:

The lectures will mostly consist of recorded videos published in our dCMS. Whenever there are live lectures, they will be announced beforehand. Live lectures will be held in Zoom (and might or might not be recorded).
In addition, there will be live events on weekly Thursdays. There, the lecturers will briefly recap the covered materials and then offer you the possibility to ask questions and initiate discussions. We will use Zoom for this, too.
The default mode of operation for Thursdays after the live events are office hours. There, you can reach out to our tutors and get help with exercises and the projects.
Sometimes on Thursdays a tutorial will take place instead of office hours, to support you in studying the course contents. This is the place where various types of exercises are discussed. Both, the tutorials and office hours, will take place on Discord (link in Materials).
The course comprises four practical projects. Depending on the number of participants, you may be able to work on those in groups of two.
More details will be provided in the first introductory event on Thursday, April 15, at 2pm. You can find the participation link on the Materials page in the dCMS.

Physical Presence on Campus?

It will be possible to participate in the course (i.e. lectures and tutorials), and to be admitted to the final exam from remote. Note, however, that a written exam is at this point scheduled to take place on campus in the morning of August 2, 2021.

Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions.

Viele Grüße
Euer Space Team
