chattet acht Minuten auf WhatsApp,

schaut drei YouTube-Videos

und liest einen Artikel über Peru,

weiß aber am Ende immer noch nicht, wie spät es ist

    • ➟ Coached exercises

  • Tuesday and Wednesday 17:45-19:15.

  • Seminar groups of ~12 participants assigned to a tutor.

  • Precondition: You must pass the examination based on its own score excluding bonus points.

  • Examination: E.g. 90 points / 100% resulting in “1,0”, 45 points / 50% resulting in “4.0”.

  • 0-10 bonus points on top of examination score in case of reaching at least 50% examination points.

  • Examples:

    • 40 examination points: “Failed” regardless of any number of bonus points

    • 45 Examination points, 10 bonus points. Result: 55 points resulting in a 3.0 mark rather than 4.0.

  • Give a brief account of the exercise in question.

  • Explain your solution's concept and present your code.

  • Explain possible problems / pitfalls.

  • Ask your tutor for exercises to avoid thematic clashes
