Perspectives of Computer Science

Lecture 3 and the slides are available in the Materials section now. Please remember to do the quiz until Friday.

The results for the quiz of last week are visible on your personal status page. The correct answers can be downloaded in the Materials section.

An individual quiz is neither passed nor not passed. At the end, you need to have collected enough points over all quizzes.

Assuming 11 quizzes for 10 points each, you need to collect 60% of 110 points, that is 66 points, over the semester. (For LL.M. students, that is 30% or 33 points.)

In case of more or fewer quizzes, adjust accordingly.

The two-part video and the PDF slides of today's lecture are online. Unfortunately, the seond part has no sound. We apologize for this problem. The quiz is now open till Friday evening. Please also refer to the PDF slides to solve it.

One point for clarification: If you have a personal specific question, please do not use the anonymous feedback feature. We cannot get back to you in this way; the system completely hides your identity. So,

• use anonymous feedback for feedback that you want to or must give anonymously,
• use the forum to ask questions of general interest (revealing who you are),
• use direct email or personal messages in the forum to ask questions that concern you personally or that reveal information that should not become public.

 

The results from the practice quiz are available on your personal status page. In addition, the correct answers have been uploaded to the Materials.

Some remarks:

- About 100 registered participants did take the practice quiz. This is not good. If there are any problems next week, they will cost you real points.

- Scores are generally very low. Most did not achieve 6 points or more. This is concerning.

- No one complained about the non-sensical answers for question #7. They were a copy of the answers for question #6 and did not make sense. (For the practice quiz, you got a point if you never touched one of the anwers and had an empty answer.) For a real quiz, if this happens, please complain via the feedback feature.

- Advice to protect you against technical problems: Do the quiz. Take a screenshot. Close the quiz. Wait. Re-open the quiz and check that your answers are still there. Close. (Someties, if you do not have a stable internet connections, your answers may not register immediately in the system.)

 

The video of the first lecture is now online. Please note that we do not do live streaming, so there is no live zoom link. 
You can either come to the lecture in person, or watch it later online.

The quiz will go online later tonight and be available till Friday, 23:55, on you Personal Status page. As explained, it is a practice quiz and will not count.
