Office Hour

Hi all,

We had to move the Fachschaft office hour today to 4 PM - 5 PM (instead of 5 PM - 6 PM). The Zoom link is already on our Moodle page. If you stop by during this office hour (or the upcoming ones in the next weeks/months), we’ll try to help you with any questions or issues you have regarding studying computational/general linguistics in Tübingen.

We sent out emails to the student groups we created. (If you signed up but didn’t receive an email, please let us know as soon as possible!)

Have fun!!
