How We Know What We Know: Research Methods in Computer Science

Dear students,

We have now also made Assignment 5 available in the materials folder. Please note that it is not mandatory to arrange a meeting with your supervisor for Assignment 5. However, it is mandatory to upload a seminar draft in PDF format to the CMS by the deadline on January 22, 2026. For further information, please look at Assignment 5.

We would also like to draw your attention to the option of providing anonymous feedback on this seminar. We are particularly interested in the answers to the questions with free text fields at the end of the evaluation. This should take no longer than a few minutes: https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=161497&p=todtph

Thank you very much, and on behalf of all supervisors, we wish you happy holidays.

Best regards,
Marvin Wyrich

Dear students,

you can find the second Assignment already under Materials. Deadline is still 27.11. 23:59.
In Addition, you can find a LaTeX template under Materials. You must use this template for your final seminar paper submission and are free to use it for your assignments.

Please also remember to register in the LSF until 13.11..

Kind regards,
Kallistos

Dear students,

Thank you for your topic preference lists and, where possible, the information on conflicting exam dates. Please note the following:

1. We have now assigned you a topic and a supervisor. If anyone has not received a personal email with the supervisor in cc, please contact us.

2. We have just received information that the deadline for LSF registration is already November 13, 2025 (that's a week earlier than stated on the kick-off slides!). However, it is possible that registration may only open in the coming days; we have no information on this.

3. To help you with your literature search throughout the semester, we uploaded an instructional video on how to find academic literature.

Best regards,
Kallistos Weis and Marvin Wyrich
