GROUPSAPP

Teams will be formed using the “groups” component of the course’s UniConnect community. Every student who wants to participate must be registered for one team by the
deadline.
Each team must consist of two to three students. If more students register to a single group, some of them will be assigned to other groups. Students, who do not find a
team, can register for team 99 and will be assigned to teams by the supervisors.
Team numbers correspond to seminar topics. By registering to a team, students choose the topic they want to work on as well as the track they want to present in. Only
choose a team/ topic, if you have found a group and do not block it for others! Conflicting choices will be dealt with primarily following a first-come first-serve principle
preferring complete groups over individuals.
There can only be four teams per track. Teams will be reassigned to another track or topic, if there are more than four teams in a track.
