Students in course of studies that belong to HISPOS or VIPA and don't register there will not be allowed to take the exam. If you cannot register in HISPOS or VIPA, please write me (hoeller@cs.uni-saarland.de) once you register in CMS so that we keep track of the list of students that attend the exam without being in HISPOS or VIPA.

The exam is on the 15. February in HS003 in E1.3. at 9:00.

The lecture on exam preparation on Wednesday will be in person in E 1.1 Seminar room 3.06.
