Agenda

Security Testing

We received a complaint about an exercise on the assignment sheets. The assignment sheets are grade-relevant, so students receiving no points for an exercise might end up receiving worse final grades. The problem is about the exercise having an inconsistent solution with respect to what the lecture teaches, no communication about how the exercises are graded and whether there exist time-outs on their testing server. Also the communication in the forum was lacking, so there is a lot of confusion about the exercises.
Nils and Adrian will write an email to the TAs and the Professor to ask them to award the students the points who were wronged by this discommunication.


SIC People

We want to create a list of the relevant people of the SIC who we often work with, so new voluntary and elected members have an easier time and actually know who they need to talk to.
We will create a wiki article, Clemens will govern the list.


Student Working Rooms

The student working rooms are now completely furnished. Felix and Nic are currently thinking about how the rooms should be arranged best, which should be an individual working room, where groups can work together etc.
There will be quiet corners/private rooms where it is possible for students to attend to online meetings without being too disturbed.


Events

Some of our events require students to help for 7+ hours, which is somewhat unfair for them. In general helpers are available for many hours, and because we have "so few helpers", they have shifts whenever they available.
We can imagine to specify a maximum amount of shifts helpers can take within the doodle or just plan the events to have a less total length.
Things we want to keep in mind for the future is that deconstruction shifts take longer than expected, or the event is kept going on longer than planned, so no deconstruction can be done. People should take responsibility and complain if they feel their shifts are unfair or impossible.
In general: If we have more people helping, shifts can be assigned more freely.
