Dear students,
after our lecture on the advantages and potential pitfalls of LLMs like ChatGPT or CoPilot, we have had the opportunity to review a few student transcripts from ChatGPT sessions. The insights from these transcripts have proven to be immensely valuable in understanding the kinds of questions, concerns and difficulties you may be encountering during the course and when using ChatGPT. In addition to that, it allowed us to observe the benefits some students enjoyed when using ChatGPT.
To further enhance the course and our understanding of your usage of this new technology, we would like to invite you to voluntarily share your ChatGPT transcripts with us. This will enable us to get a clearer perspective on your learning journey and how we can potentially improve our teaching methods and course material.
To share your transcripts, please add a file named chatgpt.log or chatgpt.zip to the top-level folder of your current project. We would like to emphasize that your decision to share these transcripts can not influence the project evaluation in any negative way. Please also note that you have no obligation to share the logs. Though, you have the obligation to annotate AI generated code as described in this forum post: https://forum.prog2.sic.saarland/t/using-llms-large-language-models-in-prog2/1099
P.S. Do not forget about the project deadline tomorrow. :)

Dear students,
the calendar falsely listed an Office Hour on next Monday, May 1st. As there is a public holiday on Monday, there will be no Office Hour on that date. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any confusion caused. The calendar has been updated accordingly. The next Office Hour will be on Tuesday, May 2nd.
We also want to remind you of the upcoming Project deadline on 9th May. A small amount of students have not yet created their Gitlab account yet. We highly recommend logging into the Prog2 Gitlab at least once. This will create your account. Your project will be created automatically, after the account was created. Though, there will be a significant delay between account creation and project creation due to the large amount of requests the server has to handle at the moment. So it is advisable to do this now so that the repository is set up when you plan to work on the project.
After your account was created, please test if you can push to your project repository. In order to do so, you have to have set your ssh key in Gitlab. For more details you can refer to this forum post: https://forum.prog2.sic.saarland/t/how-activate-the-gitlab-account-and-add-a-newly-generated-ssh-key/181 Submission via git is the only option you can use hand in your project. Thus it is highly recommended to ensure now that you are able to submit your project.
Good luck with your projects!

Dear students,
this is a reminder that the first lecture will be tomorrow, April 14th, at 8:30 in Building E2.2, the Günter Hotz Lecture Hall.
The first lecture will begin with an overview and address organizational matters. We would like to to highlight two important points beforehand:
- Please review your tutorial preferences on your personal status page. Last Friday, we made changes to allow you to specify your language preference. If you had previously submitted your preferences, you have to readjust them using the new format. Apologies for the inconvenience.
- This only concerns you if you are using a Mac M1 System that is not capable of using the virtual machine (VM):
It appears that using virtualization on a Mac with an M1 chip is becoming increasingly difficult. Even utilizing the provided Docker container appears not be the most convenient solution for most Mac M1 users. However, as a Unix-based system, MacOs should offer a similar experience to our virtual machine. Hence, we will offer support to the best of our abilities, in getting your projects up and running on these systems. Please refer to this forum post for first steps.
Please note that you won't need to use the VM during the lecture, but it will be required for projects and to act as platform to explore anything newly learned your own. We wanted to inform you in advance to prevent any further inconvenience.
See you tomorrow
The Prog2 Team
