Corona (COVID-19) Information

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the lecture will be taught in hybrid mode.

  • Lecture: on-site and recordings (published on Moodle)
  • Tutorials: on-site and online (Big Blue Button, link will be published in Moodle)
  • Exam & Retake Exam: only on-site at TUM

Lecture

There are two lectures per week at TUM each Tuesday (4 - 6 p.m.) and Thursday (4 - 6 p.m.). Lecture recordings will be uploaded to the moodle course.
If the infection rate increases during the semester, we might need to adapt the lecture mode. However, the lecture recordings are uploaded for students that can't visit the on-site lecture. We will announce updates in Moodle.

Tutorial Session

The tutorial session will take place on-site but there will be alternative online live sessions using the tool Big Blue Button. We offer online and on-site time slots, all covering the same content. Thus, you only need to attend one tutorial session per week. You can register for a slot via TUMOnline. This will be explained during the first lecture week. After registration, we provide you a link to the tutorial session of your time slot.
Please always watch the lecture before participating in the tutorial session!

Exam

The exam will be held on-site (attendence in person required) at TUM and there will also be a retake exam (also on-site).

Bonus System

There will be three bonus projects that accompany this lecture. All three projects are programming tasks. If you complete all three projects, you will receive a grade bonus of 0.3 on your final exam grade. The grade bonus is only applied on passed exams (4.0 or better). The programming tasks will be done in C++ and Scala. Prior C++ knowledge is required, but you can also learn it yourself during the semester. The bonus projects will be published in the moodle course.
