Programming 2

Dear students,

The results of the final exam are now available on your personal status page in the CMS, and you will also be able to see the total points and the points you scored per exam exercise.

The grade result is also displayed on your CMS page now.

You will have the chance to inspect the marking of your exam. This exam inspection will take place tomorrow. 
See https://cms.sic.saarland/prog2_25/news/view/22 for more information.

Kind regards,
Your Programming 2 team

Dear students,
the inspection for the main exam will take place on 29.07. from 10:00 to 12:00 in E1 3, HS002, as announced during the exam. We plan to make the exam results (points and grades) public before the inspection and will inform you as soon as they are available.

To distribute the number of students evenly across the inspection, the following time slots apply based on the first letter of your last name:

• A – L: 10:00 – 11:00

• M – Z: 11:00 – 12:00

For example, if your name is Lauer you should attend between 10:00 and 11:00; if your name is Mauer you should attend between 11:00 and 12:00.

Just for your information: the inspection for the re-exam is scheduled on 12.08. from 10:00 to 12:00 in E1 3, HS002. Further details will be communicated in due time.

Dear students,

The preliminary results for project 6 are now visible in the CMS. 
Plagiarism checking is still ongoing.

Remember to register in the LSF/FlexNow, if available for your study program, for the exam.
You have to register by 17.07. in LSF.
Additionally, register in the CMS and select your language preference for the exam on your personal status page.

Dear students,
it is now possible to register for the exams via CMS. You must register there in order to participate. The deadlines are:

• Main Exam Registration Deadline: 21.07.2025, 12:00

• Re-Exam Registration Deadline: 04.08.2025, 12:00

Please also ensure that you register in your official system according to your examination regulations (e.g., LSF for Computer Science students).

The exam will be graded out of 180 points. This means the compiler bonus is expected to provide a grade improvement of approximately 0.3. No additional materials (e.g., extra sheets, calculators, etc.) are allowed during the exam. We will provide additional materials comparable to the minitests.

If you were sick during a test and have submitted a doctor’s note on time, but have not been contacted for a retake (even though you still qualify for admission), please contact lauer@cs.uni-saarland.de as soon as possible.

The Prog2 Team

Dear students,

just to point out there is no lecture this friday (july 11; there was an erroneous entry in the timetable that I have just deleted). The technical material was concluded in the lecture on july 8.

Next tuesday (july 15) in the lecture slot, Marcel Ullrich will present the AI competition and some course statistics. We will discuss the course evaluation in case we receive the results until then.

best regards,

Jörg Hoffmann

Hi,
it was brought to our attention that some exercise statements in the last minitest caused more confusion than we intended. We will improve for future tests.

As compensation, the next test will include a 5-point bonus exercise and you get 5 extra minutes.

To clarify: The bonus exercise will cover the same topics as the rest of the test. This way, we don’t expand the scope of what you need to prepare for.
As a reminder, there’s a forum post explaining how we decide the scope for each test: https://forum.prog2.sic.saarland/t/content-of-the-mini-tests/677/2?u=pascallauer

Dear students,

there is a small update to project points rules: in Project 6 you will be able to get up to 9 bonus points; we decided that these will count towards your exam grade.

The specifics are updated in the "About this Lecture" slides: https://cms.sic.saarland/prog2_25/dl/2/About_this_Lecture.pdf slides 19-22.

best regards,

Jörg Hoffmann

Dear students,
some of you reported that the tutorial preference option was not visible on the CMS. The issue has now been resolved. You should now be able to enter your time slot preferences via your personal status page. If you tried earlier, please try again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Best,
The Prog2 Team

Dear Students,
please visit your personal status page in the CMS to enter your time slot preferences for the tutorials. This is important to ensure that everyone is assigned a suitable slot. 

Thanks in advance,
The Prog2 Team

P.S. The option “Just Minitest; No Tutorial” should only be selected if you do not intend to participate in any tutorial. Otherwise, set to "not possible". This helps us keep the rooms less crowded during the tests. We recommend attending the tutorials.
