General Notice:
The office hours provided here are valid during the lecture periods only! For meetings outside these periods an appointment is always required. All times listed are CET (UTC+01:00 Paris/Berlin Time). Please note that although Mr. Siegert may be in his office outside the designated hours, he will presumably be unable to receive visitors without an appointment.
For more information read details (OOH & VOH) below.
Dedicated to providing accessible guidance (student support), Mr. Siegert’s office hours operate on a hybrid model, combining an on-campus presence (OOH) with digital accessibility (VOH). He also offers scheduled registry slots and drop-in sessions. Please see the details below for more information, and review both the Office Hours Preparation Guide and the Drop-In Code of Conduct Manual provided above.
Your Weekly Drop-In Opportunity – In-Person Office Hours
These weekly sessions are dedicated entirely to you. You are always welcome to drop by in person to ask quick questions, discuss course topics, or seek academic guidance. No formal appointment is required, though recommended.
Location: Room 2.233
Availability: During regular Open Office Hours (or by dedicated appointment).
How it works: To ensure a smooth schedule and minimize your waiting time, you are highly encouraged to secure a time slot in advance via StudIP.
Drop-Ins (No Appointment)
Spontaneous visitors without a booking (via StudIP) are always welcome. Please note, however, that drop-ins are accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis during open gaps between scheduled appointments.
To ensure professional boundaries and equal access, we operate under a strict Fairness Guarantee: For more information check out the Drop-In Code of Conduct Manual (PDF).
The 20-Minute Rule: If you arrive at least 20 minutes before the official end of the office hours and are willing to wait, Mr. Siegert guarantees he will see you – even if the session has to run slightly overtime.
Late Arrivals: Anyone arriving within the final 20 minutes of the session cannot be guaranteed a consultation if the queue is already full. Should time run out, you will be asked to secure a priority slot via StudIP for the following office hours session.
Preparation Standard:
Unsure how to prepare? New to university life or attending Mr. Siegert's office hours for the first time? To make the most of your session and ensure a highly efficient meeting, you are strongly encouraged to review the short Office Hours Preparation Guide (PDF). It outlines how to structure your questions and what to expect. Since effectiveness is etiquette.
Why Virtual Office Hours? – The Idea Behind It
If you cannot visit the office in person but require a more effective way to communicate than a phone call, virtual office hours are an ideal solution. Recognizing this challenge from his own student days, Mr. Siegert introduced this option to ensure personal guidance remains easily accessible for everyone.
Platforms: Zoom
Availability: By appointment OR as a Virtual Walk-in during regular Open Office Hours.
Registration: Please use StudIP to book a dedicated slot.
Virtual Walk-ins (No Appointment)
If you prefer not to book a slot, you are welcome to join virtually during regular Open Office Hours. Simply enter the Zoom meeting and wait in the virtual waiting room until you are admitted.
Please note that the exact same guidelines and fairness policies apply as for our in-person sessions:
First-Come, First-Served: Virtual walk-ins will be accommodated during open gaps between scheduled appointments.
The 20-Minute Rule: To benefit from our Fairness Guarantee, you must enter the virtual waiting room at least 20 minutes before the official end of the office hours. If you do the same guarantees apply like announced in the Drop-In Code of Conduct Manual (PDF).
Late Arrivals: Anyone signing in during the final 20 minutes cannot be guaranteed a consultation if the queue is already full. Should time run out, please secure a priority slot via StudIP for the following office hours session.
