Thank you,

Dear Students,

The lecture period slowly comes to an end and before we will judge your performance once again* in the oral exams, you have the chance to judge us!

The Qualis-Team prepared two evaluation surveys (in English), one for the lecture and one for the tutorials, and we would kindly ask you, if you have a few minutes to spare, to fill them out.

Note that the survey is anonymous.

The lecture survey is here: https://qualis.uni-saarland.de/eva/?l=136511&p=489129

Hello there,

You can already (un-)register for the exam on your own in HISPOS/LSF and you can do so until July 18th end-of-day.
We will conduct the oral exams starting by July 25th, 2022.

Oral exams will be conducted virtually (via zoom) and will take approximately 30 minutes.
Each student will get a calendar invitation with their designated exam slot.
Due to the high number of oral exams, slot changes are not allowed except for the following reasons:

1) Due to your timezone, the scheduled oral exam would take place before 8 am or after 8 pm.
2) You have an exam that overlaps with the scheduled exam.
Note: this rule does not apply for another exam on the same day which does not overlap with your oral exam with us.
3) You have a medical certificate.
4) There are unforeseen and important circumstances that temporarily do not allow you to participate in the exam.

In any of such cases, we expect you to write us an email with detailed information on why we should change your examination slot until three days before your examination.The decision on whether we provide you with a new slot lies on our end.

Finally, you will have to provide us with a written consent that we are allowed to conduct the exam virtually.
If you registered for the exam and we do not receive your written consent before 8 am on the day of your exam, you will automatically fail the exam—we will make the form available during this week in a separate news post.

Dear students,

We apologize for the Internet connection issues experienced during yesterday's lecture. It turns out the university IT experienced a power failure on some of their services which knocked out both the wired and wireless networks partially. We will make sure to have a backup connection in the future.

Dear Students,

The second assignment is online in the Materials section and is again due in a week: Thursday, May 5 at 23:59 pm CEST.

Important:
Starting from this second assignment you have to be in a group of two or three students.
Any submission made by a single person will be capped at 50 points max, i.e., regardless of how many points you could have achieved with your solution, we will only give you at most 50 points for that assignment.

So please find a group partner using the forum, discord or if you absolutely can't find anybody: send us a mail!

 

Please also make sure to not miss the deadline for the first assignment, which is due tonight (Thursday, April 28 at 23:59 pm CEST).

 

Your INET teaching team

Dear students,

 

The videos for the different lecture topics can be found here: https://inet-teaching.mpi-inf.mpg.de/videos/DataNetworks2022/

The recommended videos for a particular lecture can also be found in the lecture QnA schedule table on the CMS.

Below each video description, you can find the slides for that particular lecture.

 

Best regards,

Your INET teaching team

Dear students,

 

We recognize that the general Corona regulations in Germany and for the state of Saarland have been changed. However, due to the number of Covid-19 incidences still being high, we ask that you please continue to wear masks during the in-person QnA sessions, and the tutorial. 

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Your INET teaching team

Dear Students,

The first assignment is now online in the Materials section of the course CMS and is due next Thursday, April 28 at 23:59 CEST.

As stated in the Assignments section, you will solve twelve assignments throughout the semester.
Assignments are submitted in groups of three students.
We will only enforce this rule starting from the second assignment to give you time to find a group partner.
We encourage you to find a group partner early and already welcome group submissions for the first assignment.

Use the CMS for your submission and hand in one pdf with your solution per group.
Please clearly note your (and your group partners) name and Matrikel number on the top of your pdf.

As some of you already did, you can use the forum to find group members.
You can write a mail, as a last resort, to the mailing list (inet-teaching@lists.mpi-inf.mpg.de) if you can not find a group partner. 
We will gather those requests and assign you a partner.

The exam admission depends on getting at least 50 percent of the theoretically achievable points.
When achieving more than 60 percent (75 percent) of all points, a bonus of +0.3 (+0.7) will be applied to your final grade.
The exam must be passed without the grading bonus.

You can attend any tutorial session regardless of the session that your partner attends.
Submissions are not strictly mapped to tutors, i.e., your group's assignments will likely be graded by a different tutor every week.

Dear students,

To help us decide on the course format and to be able to offer you the best learning experience possible, we create a poll to collect your opinions.
You can find the link under the menu "Information".
We highly encourage you to participate until Monday, April 11, at 18:00.

Thank you,
Your INET teaching
