Clarifications and Updates about Team FormingWritten on 28.10.25 by Yu Jiang Hi all, We want to clarify that all members of the same team must be from the same tutorial - otherwise you won't be able to submit assignments or do the project together.

We cannot restrict this on CMS so please make sure your teammates are from the same tutorial as you. In case you cannot find a team, we can help randomly assign you to a team if you show up to the first tutorial. The tutors will take attendance at the first tutorial. Please first try to find teammates by yourself first during the tutorial. But if that's not possible, we can help assign you if you attend the tutorial this week. Best, Yu |

Important News on Tutorials Assignment, Team Groupings, and Waitlisted StudentsWritten on 22.10.25 (last change on 22.10.25) by Yu Jiang Tutorial Assignment You have been assigned to a tutorial based on your preferences.

It's not guaranteed to be your most preferred slot, but CMS performs a global optimization to try to yield a satisfactory assignment for everyone. If you didn't select a preference for tutorials, you have been randomly assigned. If you want to switch to another tutorial, it can happen but in a self-organized manner and with mutual agreement between the two students. I have opened a discussion topic in the forum. You can post in that thread to find someone who would be willing to switch. Once confirmed, one of you please email me with both of your matriculation numbers and the tutorials you want to switch to, and I will perform the switch for you. The deadline for switching tutorials is October 31st, 11:59pm. Forming Teams You are responsible for forming teams of 3 by yourself. Once you find your teammates, you can create a team grouping yourself on CMS. The deadline for forming a team is October 31st, 11:59pm. There is a thread in the forum to help you find team members. There might be one or two groups of two in one tutorial, depending on the number of students in a tutorial. However, please still try to form groups of three - if there ends up being too many groups of two, they will be randomly merged to become groups of three. Students who are unable to form a team by the deadline will have to be removed from the course. Waitlisted Students We have a randomized waiting list and cannot make an exception for anyone on this waitlist to be fair. Once there is a spot available, we will send a token to register on CMS to the next student on the waitlist. This process will happen sequentially throughout the next few weeks. Once you receive the token, you have 3 days to register otherwise the token will be assigned to the next available student. Please select your tutorial preference right when you register. Your tutorial slot will be assigned based on your preference and the current availability. Transferred Students Students who transferred their assignments and the project from last year were assigned to a dummy tutorial for logistical reasons. You don't need to form teams, do assignments, or the project again. Your bonus points will be transferred and scaled with regard to this semester before the exam.

You can select/change your preference until the end of today. Please make sure to do so, otherwise you will not be able to participate in the course. We had a dummy tutorial slot (the one on Monday), which shouldn't be selected. This is corrected now, so please edit your choices to reflect your preferences accordingly. |
Clarification on RegistrationWritten on 17.10.25 by Yu Jiang Please register on CMS only if you are accepted to the course on LSF. Registration on CMS alone (if you are rejected by LSF) does not give a place in the course. We will have to deregister those rejected by LSF from CMS after the registration deadline. |
