Quotes

Almost no constraints at all on how to do the task given. Opens up for a lot of creativity on how to solve the problem.

Jeg likte block seminar, for da får man all infomasjonen man trenger før man begynner på oppgaven. Eneste problemet var at det var alt for lange pauser. [...]

Det tok noe som 5 uker på å få svar på eksamen 1, og 7-8 uker på eksamen 2.

There should be some form of group tutors or something, as the course teachers won't give help during an assignment, and since there is no books covering the topics, there's a majority of ''self learning'' involved, which may not yield the best results. No ''solution proposals'' are given, so that it's hard to learn new methods other than the ones you came up with yourself.
