15.

Questions During the Lecture  Download the interaction client TVremote (requires Java!)  http://interaction.nu.tu-darmstadt.de/tvremote/ http://interaction.nu.tu-darmstadt.de/tvremote/  This is a simple tool for submitting questions during the lecture  All questions arrive directly at the teacher‘s computer  We will try to address them during the lecture  By sending you an email reply  By addressing them during the lecture  By sending you an email reply after the lecture  By posting them to the Portal  Although you log in using your RBG account, questions are anonymized  We do not know who asked which question  Do not hesitate to ask – even asking a „stupid“ questions is more clever than not asking Portal: http://proffs.tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/teaching

17. Contact  You should first consult the GdI/ICS Portal  Articles  Forum  Blogs  Google  Other students  Please post problems and their solution in the GdI/ICS Portal  Do not post solutions or parts thereof to assignments that are still open!  We will delete or (heavily) edit such entries once we see them.  If all this fails…  ask your tutor!  Consultation hours  Prof. Dr. Max Mühlhäuser: Wednesday 2:00-3:00 PM, room S2|02-A114  Dr. Guido Rößling: Wednesday 09:40-11:00 AM, room S2|02-A125 Portal: http://proffs.tk.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/teaching
