Agenda

Cryptography

Last year Cryptography went really bad, objectively shown by QUALIS results. We were talking with Prof. Stock who is responsible for teaching quality at CISPA. We were ensured that Prof. Joux would not be teaching the course again, however this is not the case. Manuel and Felix volunteered to write an Email why this is the case and how it is made sure that the course will be better this time.
However it could be the case that Prof. Joux is only responsible on paper because each course needs to be organised by a person with promotion rights by university law. And in the end they are not actually teaching the course.


Summer BBQ

We want to host a Summer BBQ this year again. We want to fix a date rather soon, and already discussed with the Maths Student Council. Preliminary date would be Thursday, 04th of July, which for us would be okay.


Quiz night

The next Quiz Night will take place this Friday, 08pm at Rotenberg Heimbar. You can already pre-register.


Student support infrastructure

The student council is hosting many events, however student council members have only limited time and creativity. We like events and want to support events that are organised by students, be it with organisatorial help, rooms or somehow else.
If you want to host events, you can reach out to is via email or come to our rooms personally. We will also announce this via Discord or similar, with a way you can bring your ideas to us.
We voted on this and are unanimously in favour of this.


MfI 1

The current organisation of MfI1 is very inefficient. In general no Professor wants to do this because they lose a semester of organisation and research time. The professor usually thinks that the previous years slides and materials are bad, so they do everything from scratch. This continues with Dr. Mai who needs to translate slides etc. every year.
Thus it might be an idea to standardise the course with a permanent position for MfI1. This would make the course better for professors, scientific staff and also the students, as this would make the course much more comparable across years. Long-term it might be problematic to find people for the position.
For example, potential people for the position might be Dr. Mai, Dr. Pascal Peter, Prof. Herzberg.
Objectively the MfI-courses are held by the mathematics, however it mostly affects the computer science students. We want to put this topic into the next Deans Lunch and we want to discuss this with the Maths student council.
We are of the opinion that this is a good proposition.


Deans Lunch

We want to have a Deans Lunch soon. Rough time frame would be the first week of April. We will also start to collect topics.
