Dear Students,
As too few of you received our notification, we decided to reschedule the lecture to next Monday, 18th January, at 10 a.m. CET. Since we shift the related lecture, we also postpone the deadline for your slide drafts to Sunday, 24th January, at 23:59 CET. The deadline for the peer-review feedback stays the same.

You can join the lecture's Zoom session via this link:

Dear Students,

Last Friday night, we fixed a bug on the peer-review information page. All references should now accurately link to their respective drafts. If this is not the case for you, it might be that your browser cached the old version---which you can clear easily in most browsers.

We added the links for the peer-reviews' Zoom sessions. In case your client asks for it, we also provided the passcode.

Dear Students,

As promised during the kickoff meeting, we provide a lecture on preparing seminar (and other technical) presentations. The lecture starts this Wednesday, at 10 a.m. CET.

 

You can join the lecture via this Zoom invite:

Passcode: 009533

 

We will record the lecture. The chat will not be visible within the recording; however, Zoom records the active (i.e., the person that speaks the loudest at a given point in time) speaker's camera (if enabled) and all audio. Whenever you unmute yourself/enable your camera, you implicitly allow us to record your audio/video. 

Only currently registered students and our team members can access the lecture recording (similar to the other uploaded resources). 

Dear Students,

Thank you for submitting your seminar paper drafts. 

We uploaded details on the next step, the peer-review process,
here: https://inet-teaching.mpi-inf.mpg.de/htdn_20/3/Peer-Review_Process
On the page, you can find your group members, their drafts, and how the peer-review process works.

Please make sure to submit your feedback via the "Peer-Review Feedback" submission tab before 17th Jan. 2021, 23:59.
Format your feedback for individual drafts as PDF and join/compress them afterward into a .zip or .gz archive.

After the submission deadline, we will forward you all the feedback related to your draft---likely on Monday, 18th Jan. 2021.
Please take the feedback part seriously; it might help you or your fellow students to improve your seminar report.

Dear Students,

We hope that all of you found some time to recuperate during the holidays. Besides enjoying your quality time, we hope that you found cycles to work on your seminar reports. Since the deadline is in about a week (5th. January 2020, 23:59 CET), we enabled a submission tab called "Seminar Report Draft." Please notice that the submission format is a PDF---regardless of the template that you used.

We also enabled a "Doodle" for you to enter your preferred timeslots for the peer-review (the link can be found in the schedule on the main page). Please indicate _at least_ three timeslots at which you are available until the 5th. January 2020, 23:59 CET. If you miss the deadline, we expect you to be available at all timeslots.

Dear Students,

Now that we announced the mapping between papers and students, you have about three weeks to register for the seminar via HISPOS. The official deadline is December 1st, 2020.

Please use this week to read through and understand your assigned paper. Also, please contact your supervisor(s) and schedule a meeting with them throughout next week. Make sure that you can either explain your assigned paper to your supervisor (in detail) or prepare a set of questions for parts that you did not fully understand yet. In any case, make sure you familiarized yourself enough with the paper to be able to discuss it in-depth with your supervisor(s).

Please provide us with your preferences for the seminar papers by the end of this week---until Sunday, 8th November 2020, 23:59, to be exact. You can do so by writing _the numbers_ of your _five_ favorite papers (in descending order) as a comma-separated line accompanied _only_ (i.e., don't add any formal header/greeting or footer/parting parts) by your name in the subject of the email to inet-teaching@lists.mpi-inf.mpg.de. For example, the line "4, 10, 8, 27, 16" means that you prefer paper number 4 over paper number 10, etc. It also means that you prefer these five papers over all others.

To facilitate the decision process, we will host a kickoff meeting during which we will present short teasers for all papers. The kickoff meeting will happen this Wednesday, 14:15 CET. The zoom link will be available soon in the table in the Schedule section.
