Multimedia Transport Thorsten Herfet, Pablo Gil Pereira

Dear students,

due to the difficult situation SARS-Cov-2 causes for us all and especially for you, we decided to despite the earlier announcement offer AVCN (former TCII) in the summer term!!!
We will adapt the lecture to pay respect to a) the shorter term and b) the potential requirement to offer at least parts of the course remotely.
Please check the course website: https://cms.nt.uni-saarland.de/avcn_20/.

Best regards, take care and stay healthy!

Thorsten Herfet and Team

Dear students,

The MT re-exam registration will be open in CMS on Thursday 5. March at 10:00 and will be closed on Monday 9. March at 23:59. Please make sure you are in time to select the slot that suits you the best. 

We would also like to remind you that you should register in LSF at least two weeks before the exam in order to take part of it. Late registrations are not accepted by the examination office, so please make sure you are registered to avoid any issues.

Best regards,

Pablo

Dear students,

as agreed last week we will have no lecture this week to give you more time to prepare for the exams.
We will have an exam rehearsal lecture next Tuesday. Feel free to send questions directly to my email address, so that I'm able to spot common questions (or topics that might require more explanation) and that I also from the questions itself can detect where the problem might be.

Best

Dear students,

We would like to remind you that you need to register in LSF in case you want to take the Multimedia Transport exam (please notice that this lecture is not called Future Media Internet). The registration MUST be done the latest TWO weeks BEFORE the exam takes place. As mentioned in the main page in CMS, the oral exams will take place on 11th and 12th February, so please make sure you correctly register in LSF in time, because later registration will not be allowed by the examination office. On the contrary, if you plan not to take the exam, please deregister in time so it does not count as a failure. We have also received a confirmation email by the examination office that all the issues in LSF, have been solved but if you still have any issues to register please contact us as soon as possible.

You also need to pick a slot for your exam, which you can make via CMS if you go to the Internal > Registrations section. 12 different slots will be release in a first come, first serve policy. The registration will start next Monday 27th January at 10:00 and finish by Friday 31st January 23:59. For those of you that desperately need one specific slot, it is your responsibility to be aware and in time to pick it. In case someone else picks your preferred slot, we will NOT intervene, so your only options are to pick a different one, or agree with the person who already picked it, and only then contact us to make the switch.

If you have any doubts, please don't hesitate to send us an email. 

Wish you all good luck for the examination period.

Regards,

Pablo

Dear students,

Some of you might have noticed that the Task Sheet 10 references some equations in the manuscript. However, in the current version of the manuscript the equation numbers have been dropped, which makes it difficult to find them. I have updated the task sheet to fix this issue, so please download it again to make sure you can accordingly solve the exercises.

Regards,

Pablo

Dear students,

This is just a reminder that tomorrow's tutorial is the last tutorial of the first block. Since there are several of you who did not qualify yet (even considering the quiz that we did today), please make sure that you come to the tutorial if you are not sure you got the 18 points you need to qualify. It would be a pity if you fail the lecture just because you did not show up.

Best regards,

Pablo

Dear students, 

Since several of you requested a change in the tutorial time slot due to collision with other lectures, we did a survey last week and we agreed to have the tutorials on Thursday 8:30-10:00.

Please note that starting Thursday 31st October the tutorials will take place in C6.3 9.05!!

Best regards,

Pablo

Dear students,

We have uploaded a small guide to install the Jupyter environment we are using in the lectures, which you can find it in the "Materials" section (Task Sheet 00).

Before you proceed with the guide you should have Matlab installed. For those of you who don't have Matlab installed yet, please find information related to the university licenses here: https://www.hiz-saarland.de/dienste/software-lizenzen/mathworks/

If despite the guide you are still not able to run Matlab code on a Jupyter notebook, please don't hesitate to send us an email as soon as possible, so we can ensure that everybody's environment is ready to run the provided code by the end of the week.

Best regards,

The MT19/20-Team
