Date of graded exercise

Hello,

I noticed that the new graded exercise, scheduled for April 8th, coincides with the midterm for Advanced Topics on Privacy Technologies and falls just one day before the midterm for Modern Natural Language Processing. Since, if I am right, many students are enrolled in one or both of these courses, would it be possible to move the graded exercise to the following week? This adjustment would greatly help manage the workload for many people.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards

Hello,
Some of us also have exams on the week after and company visits tuesday morning, so your proposition is kind of selfish considering the exercise session was already scheduled since the semester start and people planned accordingly.
Best regards

Hello, if I am not mistaken the midterm you mention is at 2pm. The two hours of our bi-weekly lab sessions are in the morning, and this timeslot is reserved for the course - we don't have it on the following week, and delaying even further would result in other issues for other people.

More generally: don't worry too much! These labs do not require huge amounts of preparation as they are intended to be pretty guided and you have access to the course slides. They also account for a small percentage of the grade, and they are mostly here to help you learn new concepts.
