Note that currently the second summary of paper 3 and 4 is missing, we will upload it on Wednesday morning latest.

Kind regards

Dear students,

we would like to remind you that you need to register for this course in the LSF until today, 11:59pm. In case of problems with the registration, please contact your responsible examination office.

Also recall that the first meeting with your advisor should take place in November. So if not yet done, contact your advisor immediately.

Dear students,

the paper assignment is finished and can be found at Information → Paper Assignment. We can happily say that everyone was assigned their first or second preference; no third preference had to be assigned.

Please contact your advisor soon (a name abbreviation can be found after the paper title) to schedule a first meeting in November. This meeting is meant to help with issues about the content of the paper, so please come prepared, i.e., read the paper carefully before the meeting and prepare questions that you want to ask.

Additionally, you must write two summaries each (a list of papers you must summarize can also be found after the paper title). Each summary must be 2-3 pages, DIN A4, 11pt; not less, not more. These summaries must be submitted in the CMS until Sunday, December 7th, 11:59pm. Summaries are graded and used as tie-breaker for your final seminar grade. Writing the summaries is mandatory to pass the seminar. The summaries are made accessible to all other students of the seminar and aid your peers in preparing their presentation.

We will then meet within the peer groups on Wednesday, December 10th, 2:15pm, in E1 1, 3.06. This meeting is meant to interact with your peers to resolve remaining open questions.

The short lecture by Prof. Dittrich on how to present will take place on Wednesday, December 17th, 2:15pm, in E1 1, 3.06.

Best regards
Luca
