1. If I have problems, coding my exercise. Who do I contact?

The tutorials and the exercises of this course are supervised by a teaching assistant, introduced in the course description and the forum. Write her/him an e-mail. On working days, the answer will usually come within 24 hours.

2. The answers in the learning quizzes are given in a weird German-English mix. How can I avoid this?

Some settings within different sub-softwares are generated internally, which may cause weird language mixes. If you set the language in the course setup to 'English', the answers will be uniformly in English.

3. Is it possible to use a programming language other than python?

Yes, although we strongly recommend using python, since all tutorials and exercises will come in the .ipynb format for you to work with.

4. Some application in the course lecture is not working. What is going on?

Make sure that you use the latest versions of your browser.  Sometimes a weird combination of operating system, browser and hardware will generate incompatibilities. Try another browser, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari work best in most cases.

5. I can't make the deadline for the submission of the exercise. Can I get an extension?

Unfortunately not. However, the submission of the exercises is not a requirement for the participation in the exam at the end of the course. A general sample solution for each exercise will be made available the day after the submission deadline.

6. Is there any content that will be made available during the course?

Everything will be accessible from the start. The only restraints are the submission deadlines for the exercises. Check the time table at the top of the main page to see when the deadlines are. 

7. Will there be a re-exam after the exam?

No, there will be no re-exam.
