Dear students,

 

As mentioned during today's session, presenters for the second day have an opportunity to improve their slides based on the feedback given today. The submission portal is thus open again, and you can submit your updated slides until tomorrow morning, 28.02.2024 at 08:00 am CET.

For today's presenters, we will take into account that you did not have a chance to make updates based on feedback given today when we do the grading.

 

Best regards,

The HTDN team

Dear students, 

You should have gotten some feedback on your draft slides by now. Please remember to submit your final slides by Tomorrow morning (27.02.2024 08:00 am CET). You can submit your final slides in pdf or pptx format. We will download all slides to our laptop, and you can use the presenter view on the laptop. If you do not submit anything, we will consider your draft slides.

 

Best regards,

The HTDN team

Dear students, 

We will be using a shared laptop for all seminar presentations, so you will not be able to connect your laptop to the projector.

We will download all slides to our laptop, and you can use the presenter view on the laptop. If you do not submit anything, we will consider your draft slides.

 

Best regards,

As announced in our Kick-off meeting, a late submission will incur a 0.3 penalty off your final grade.

 

Best regards,
