In this list:
- Nalu-Wind has been renamed to Kynema-UGF
- Added MFEM (qualifies as-is), NeoFOAM (asked maintainers)
- Removed OpenFAST (seems to not be developing actively right now)
- Removed preCICE (as previously discussed: it helps the goals of the course and decouples from our maintainer role)
- Removed xSDK (website disappeared).

| ## The Challenge: Advice | ||
|
|
||
| - Pick something from your background | ||
| - Don't choose based on the programming language | ||
| - Start early, persist with questions, iterate quickly | ||
| - Start with something clear, extend with a second contribution | ||
| - Contact us early in case of trouble | ||
| - Make reviews easy for maintainers (will return to this) |
|

| - Ishaan (Desai) [`@IshaanDesai`](https://github.com/IshaanDesai) | ||
| - On leave this year: Benjamin Uekermann - [`@uekerman`](https://github.com/uekerman) |

| ## Examination | ||
|
|
||
| - *"Course accompanying examination"*: no exam, but continuous examination (more like a lab course or a seminar) | ||
| - Attendance is mandatory | ||
| - We look at: | ||
| - Challenge (reports, presentations, contribution; more in the afternoon) (45%) | ||
| - Exercises (not every detail, but *"outstanding"* / *"good"* / *"ok"* / *"not enough"* ) (50%) | ||
| - Other (e.g. contributions to lecture material, ...) (5%) | ||
| - Exercises (pass/fail) + interim assessments on the course topics (25%+25%) | ||
| - Engagement (e.g., contributions to lecture material, ...) (5%) | ||
| - *"good"* everywhere leads to 1.0. | ||
| - We give (brief) feedback after every exercise. | ||
| - You will need to register yourself to the *"exam"* on C@MPUS. | ||
| - This year: Adding 3x short multiple-choice exams (optional, engagement points if all passed) | ||
|
|
||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| ## Examination details | ||
|
|
||
| - Challenge: Must pass every step. | ||
| - Exercises: Collect points | ||
| - Feedback on exercises: pass/fail | ||
| - On each presentation week (morning slot): a few (primarily closed-form) understanding questions |
