Dear participants from UdS,

All UdS students registered in LSF/HISPOS have been assigned a seat for the backup exam on Friday, 27.03.2025, between 10:00–12:00 in GHH in E2.2.

Please check the CMS for your assigned seat. If you can't register in LSF (e.g., Erasmus, non-CS department, etc.) but intend to attend the exam, please contact me ASAP so I can assign you a seat.

The exam results at LUH are now in the CMS. The exam inspection will take place on Friday, Mar 21, 13:00–16:00 online via the BigBlueButton from Stud.Ip of LUH. Please book your slot via the corresponding link under the "Organizational" section of the course materials. A link to the call will posted in the next days.

Dear all, 

The results of the end-term exam at UdS are now in the CMS. (@LUH Students: we prioritized the UdS exam correction to give them enough time to sign up for the backup exam; your results come later this week)

If you participated in the UdS exam, ensure you have points listed in the CMS.

For UdS students, we offer the exam inspection next Monday, March 17, between 13.00 and 16.00 in room 0.07 at CISPA. Please book your slot via the Doodle link in the "Organizational" section of the course materials in CMS. Only book your slot if you intend to show up.

We'll enter the current results in the LSF tomorrow, so you can sign up for the backup exam if you wish.

Dear all, the end-term exam at Saarland University will take place this Friday, Feb 28, between 10 and 12 in Günter-Hotz-Hörsaal (GHH) in E2.2. The exam starts sharp at 10:00, so be there early enough to take your seat.

Due to the high number of registrations, we assigned every student who registered in LSF (or via email for Erasmus/PhD students) a fixed seat. You can find your assigned seat in your CMS account. If you registered for the exam, please check that you are marked as registered in your CMS account and have been assigned a seat. If you are not marked as registered or don't have a seat but think you registered, contact us ASAP.

Again, please note that the exam is closed-book and closed-notes.

Dear all,

Course evaluations are currently taking place at Saarland University. Thank you if you already answered the survey during the last flipped classroom. Otherwise, we would ask for your feedback via the link posted under "1 Organisational" in the course materials. The link is valid until Jan 26. Thank you for taking the time!

Cheers,
Sven

Dear all,

The lecture material for the first lectures is online. Please note that the first week is very dense in content, but it will relax more in the next weeks. This first week contains the Kick-off lecture, a lecture and crash course on Android Basics (in case you haven't worked yet with Android apps), and the first lecture on Android's security architecture.

The PDFs for the lectures are under "Information -> Materials," and the links to the recorded lectures on YouTube are under "Information -> Lecture schedule."

See you in person or via Zoom for the first flipped classroom on Friday.

Cheers,
Sven
