Dear students,

the exam will take place on the 23rd of February at 10am. We have to separate you into three different rooms: The GHH (E2.2) and HS001 and HS002 in E1.3.

You can find the information about the room you have been assigned to in the following table:

We will start the entrance control at 09:45am and we will be checking your 3G-status so please be there at 09:45.

Please read the following information carefully to ensure a problem free exam:

As the precondition to enter Saarland University is to comply with the 3G rule, this is also the
precondition to participate in the exam. This may be checked by the University’s security service.

The 3G rule means to be completely vaccinated or recovered or having a negative antigen rapid test
(valid 24 hours) or a negative PCR test certificate (valid 48 hours). Attention: People vaccinated only
once with “COVID-19 Vaccine Janssen” (Johnson & Johnson) are no longer considered completely
vaccinated.

Please note: If you fail to provide the proof of your G status upon request your name will be recorded
and you must leave the campus immediately. Your exam will be rated as “failed”.
A medical mouth-nose-protection mask (surgical mask or FFP2/KN95/N95 mask) must be worn during
the entire exam.

Students who have the typical symptoms of SARS-Cov2 disease will not be allowed to take exams. This
does not include students who have a negative daytime test result.

Students who have had close contact with a Corona-positive person may only participate in
examinations and courses in attendance if they can show sufficient vaccination protection (basic
immunization not longer than 3 months or booster vaccination) or convalescent status (not older than
3 months) or vaccination protection after recovery and are asymptomatic (see § 4 b Ordinance on
Corona Pandemic (VO-CP).

Students who are unable to take an examination due to segregation (isolation or quarantine) in
accordance with the Ordinance on the Control of the Corona Pandemic (VO-CP) may effectively
withdraw from the examinations without receiving a failed attempt. The regulations for withdrawal
from examinations of the respective valid examination regulations apply. Proof of the withdrawal
must be submitted without culpable hesitation.

Dear students,

next Thursday (10.02.) there will be a Q&A-Session held by the tutors. This will take place during the tutorial slot (2:15-3:45pm). If you want to attend in person, you have to register in the CMS as there are limited spots for people in person. If you want to attend online you do not have to register. Please only register if you definitely want to be here in person.

Dear students,

since there are no more exercise sheets to be discussed, the tutorials will be cancelled starting this week. As the fourth assignment is still going on, we will have an office hour with Kristela and Lukas this Friday (28.01.) during the usual tutorial slot (2pm - 4pm) where you can ask questions. If there are no questions, the office hour will end so ensure that you are there from the beginning.

We will also have a Q&A session before the exam which we will announce in the coming days.

Dear Students,

the fourth assignment is online. The assignment sheet contains all the necessary information about when and how to submit your solution. We also recorded a short introduction video that explains the assignment sheet. Both, the sheet and the video are available in the Materials section here in the CMS.

Please note, that the submission date is 01.02.2022 23:59 (there was a typo in the video).

Dear students,

someone on the forum found an error with the order of the trait mixins. Logging should always be applied last so it catches the effects of the other features. Therefore, lines 20-22 in the file TraitsCollectionTest.scala should be replaced with the following:

class FullFeaturedStack[A](c: Int) extends LIFOCollection[A] with Capacity[A] with Uniqueness[A] with Logging[A] {
  override val capacity: Int = c
}

This change has no effect on the provided tests but may be relevant for additional tests we perform during evaluation.

Dear students,

to comply with the current rules for in-presence tutorials of the university, we have to reintroduce the weekly registrations for the in-presence tutorials. We have to do this as we have to follow the guidelines for distance between students which brings the capacity for students in our seminar room down to 9 per slot. The registrations are as before first-come-first-serve. This weeks registration should be online now.

If you registered for the in-presence tutorial you have to keep your mask on for the entire duration of the tutorial and you can only sit in seats that are marked with a green dot on the table. Furthermore, we require the students that will be here for the in-presence tutorials to categorize as 2G (vaccinated or recovered). If you are neither of these things then please attend online.

the SE team

Dear students,

since there are new laws and regulations regarding the obligation to wear masks, we have to reintroduce the obligation to wear a mask in the in-presence tutorials even if you have enough distance to the next people. So please keep your mask on for the entire duration of the tutorial.

For more information you can have a look here: https://www.uni-saarland.de/page/coronavirus.html

Dear students,

in the second assignment you are not allowed to change any of the provided source code. That includes the tests, as well as the CollectionConfig class in subtask a and the Collection interfaces in subtasks b and c. As a result, you will not be able to reuse the implementation of the Uniqueness feature in subtasks b and c but have to come up with your own implementation.

the SE team

Dear Students,

the second assignment will be published today (23.11.2021). The assignment sheet will contain all necessary information about when and how to submit your solution. We will also record a short introduction video that explains the assignment sheet. Both, the sheet and the video will be available in the Materials section here in the CMS.

Dear students,

this week in the tutorials we had 32 registrations for the in-presence participation for both tutorial sessions. For both sessions there were less than half of these people here in presence. For the future: If you register for the in-presence tutorial (there will be a new registration each week) then please come to the tutorial. Registering without the intent to attend the tutorial takes places from those students that want to join in person but can't because the spots are already taken.

Please keep this in mind when registering for next weeks tutorial or we will have to start to 'blacklist' people that register but do not show up meaning that they will not be allowed to register for the in-presence sessions anymore.

If you have a legitimate reason why you can not attend despite being registered, then please write us a quick mail so that we can release your seat to other people.

the SE Team

Dear Students,

the first assignment will be published next Tuesday (02.11.2021) some time after the lecture. The assignment sheet will contain all necessary information about when and how to submit your solution. We will also record a short introduction video that explains the assignment sheet. Both, the sheet and the video will be available in the Materials section here in the CMS.

Dear Students,

in the survey about the tutorial participation, more students mentioned they would like to attend in person than our room's capacity. Therefore, we have to implement a registration process for in person attendance.

Until further notice, you have to register if you want to participate in person.

To give everybody the chance to attend in person, there will be a separate registration each week. Check your personal status page to find the registration forms. The registration is limited to 32 seats per tutorial slot and seats will be assigned first-come first-serve. The registration for this weeks tutorials starts today (25.10.2021) at 14:00 and ends on Wednesday (27.10.2021) at 18:00. Starting from next week, the registration for the tutorials of that week will start Mondays at 10:00 and end Wednesdays at 18:00.

Please keep in mind that students that did not register for that particular tutorial will be declined to participate in the tutorial in person if there is no free seat left.

No registration is required to attend any of the tutorials online.

Best,

the SE-team
