No hand-written submissions To make our tutor's lifes easier, please do not submit (scans/pictures of) hand-written notes. For exercise sheet E2, we strongly discourage handing in such documents, but will still accept them (as the deadline is already approaching). Starting from exercise sheet E3, however, we will no longer accept hand-written notes in submissions. 2. No LLM-generated content In addition, we want to remind you of our policy regarding the use of large language models (LLMs) to solve the exercises (as outlined in the intro lecture): you may use LLMs to polish your writing or make your submission more readable, but not to generate any actual content. Keep in mind that one purpose of the exercises is to prepare you for the exam, where no LLMs will be available. Thanks, |
Screenshots in submissionsWritten on 21.11.24 by Till Schlüter Dear students, When you submit code, please only submit it as source files. Do not submit screenshots. You can upload a ZIP file as submission to CMS. |

Security
The Security core lecture ("Stammvorlesung") will be offered in the winter term 2024/2025.
Lectures
We plan to offer the lecture as a in-person class. Note: For the first week of the term (14.-18.10.) we will offer a pre-recorded introduction video as both Katharina and Nils are not in Saarbrücken. The main lecture content starts in the second week, with an in-person lecture on October 22nd. All later classes will be in-person as well.
The schedule for the two lectures per week is as follows:
- Tuesday 16:15-17:45 (GHH)
- Wednesday 12:15-13:45 (GHH)
Registration
Registration in this CMS is required until October 27, 2024. LSF exam registration is required to participate in the exams (and will be possible until ~1 week before the final exam).
Tutorials
Details on tutorials will be announced later
Exams
Final: 19.2.25 10am-12pm
Re-exam: 19.03. 2-4pm.
Location: We will have GHH for both. In addition, for the first date we will have all 3 lecture halls in E1 3, for the re-exam HS002 in E1 3. Room assignment for students will be done via CMS shortly before the exam.
Mental Health
Being a student is challenging and might be very overwhelming. If you need support during times of struggle, reach out to friends, family, or faculty you trust. The student union at UdS also offers a counseling service that you may contact. You do not have to go through this alone! If for whatever reason (e.g., a personal emergency) you cannot attend the lectures or deliver your work in time, please let us know and we will make appropriate arrangements.
