Liebe Studierende,

You can now see the results of the first exam and project 3 on your personal status page.
Furthermore, the dCMS shows your course grade which is calculated as the weighted sum of your exam grade (70%) and your grade on project 3 (30%).

The exam inspection will take place on Monday, November 4th, from 9:30 to 10:30 in room 528, E1 3.

There will be a re-exam in late November / December. It might be oral depending on how many of you decide to take it. Please indicate your interest by registering for it in the dCMS before Monday, 11th November, at 08:59.

Viele Grüße
Gregory

Liebe Studierende,

we have extended the exercise sheet in the materials section of the dCMS to cover the second week of lectures. Remember that you have to present your solutions to the exercises in the tutorials at least once during this course. Please make sure that you download the latest version (rev 6).
Further, please select one exercise that you want to present next week by filling out this doodle.
Note that the survey is anonymous which means that you cannot see or change your selection after submitting. Please make sure to submit the form only once.

Unfortunately, there was a small bug in the argument parsing of the project 3 skeleton. Please pull the bugfix into your workspace or recreate the changes by hand.

As a final note, remember to register for the exam before 7th October, e.g. via the LSF or your respective examination office.

Viele Grüße

Liebe Studierende,

The strike of our local bus drivers presumably continues tomorrow. Be prepared that there might be no bus service at all.

Furthermore, we are going to have the guest lecture by Dr. Anthony Milligan from Kings College, London, about the ethics of space exploration.
It will take place tomorrow at 2pm in the Günter Hotz lecture hall (building E2 2), and we will join the people from the Ethics for Nerds lecture.
This guest lecture is relevant for the exam.

Viele Grüße
Gregory

Liebe Studierende,

This is a brief overview and reminder of the recent events.

Project 1

The submission of project 1 is still possible until next Monday, 16th September at 9:59. Remember to fulfil all necessary tasks as written in the project description (e-mail to AGI with me in copy, dCMS submission). Do not forget to forward us your STK Certificate when AGI assessed your submission. There is a separate deadline for that: 30th September at 23:59.

Project 2

The second project description was published yesterday afternoon. The submission deadline is Monday, 23rd September at 9:59. Note, that you are allowed to work in groups of two as stated in the task description.

Plan for Week 2

There will be no lectures next week. Instead, tutorials will take place from Monday to Wednesday (see the calendar for details). There, we will discuss the solutions to the theoretical exercises that you prepare to present yourself according to the Doodle. At the end of each tutorial, there will be a small quiz on the lecture content of week 1 where you need to score at least 50% of the total points over the whole course.

Viele Grüße
