Dear students, 

by now, you should have received an email with the write-ups you are about to review. 

Under Materials, you can find a template for the reviews, which gives you an idea of how your review could look like. From now on, the submission for the reviews is available on your Personal Status page. Please upload the two reviews separately and independently from your group members. The submission is open until Tuesday, the 5th of October. 

In general, a review without criticism is of no value, just as a review without positive feedback is. Please be critical but constructive. 
While there is no minimal or maximal length for your review, these reviews, in general, are between 1 and 2 pages long. Write down everything you find important, independent of the length of your review. 

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask by using the Forum

Dear students, 

from now on, you can hand in your non-final version of your write-up for the reviews. As we already announced, the submission is open until Sunday, 26.09.21.

Further, as some of you asked for additional time, we decided to shift the project's deadline. The final version of your project (which we will consider for grading) needs to be handed in together with the final version of your write-up (17.10.21). We hope that this additional amount of time will help you. 

Also, we will from now on evaluate your agents roughly every 6 hours to give you more feedback.

  • Four multiple-choice questions (including solutions) which should serve the purpose of testing whether your audience has understood the content of your talks. These can be appended to your slides within the same document, or you can submit them as a separate PDF document.
