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,
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.
