Since the first period is about end it is time to carry out the assignment of seminar talks as regards topics and time. To this end, we organize an additional lottery session on Thursday, the 20th of October, starting 10:15 and ending when the assignment has been done. Please check http://www.tcs.hut.fi/Studies/T-79.5103/2005AUT/program.html for the tentative schedule of the second period. Therein I have allocated slots of 45 minutes for 20 seminar talks labeled with S_1, S_2, ..., S_20. Due to potential conflicts of interest, we apply the following protocol in order to resolve conflicts. The protocol consists of 20 rounds and the assignment of seminar talk S_i takes potentially place at round i of the protocol. Each round is organized as a lottery among students that have volunteered for S_i either by email (by Thursday morning 10:00) or by attending the lottery session and declaring their interest on the spot. The protocol is restarted for any (potentially remaining) unassigned seminar talks if there are still students who would like to get assigned. If you are unable to attend the lottery session, please fill in the form below and send it to the lecturer by Thursday, the 20th of October, 2005, 10:00 hours sharp. ------------------------------------------------------------------- T-79.5103 Computational Complexity Theory Seminar talks 1) Name: 2) Student ID: 3) I volunteer for the following talks: 4) If still unassigned, I am prepared to give ANY talk after the first round of the protocol (yes/no): ------------------------------------------------------------------- The results of the lottery will be published in the schedule. If you were not lucky or you miss the lottery altogether, late assignment is possible by contacting the lecturer. In this case, please specify any of the talks which are still unassigned and which you would be willing to give. Requests are then processed on first-come-first-served basis. Please recall the seminar practise from the first lecture (the 7th slide in the set "Practical Arrangements").
