Quotes
Mandatory assignments are fun and really helped me learn the core of the course. Well made.
Jevnt over under gjennomsnittlig kvalitet på forelesningene sammenlignet med andre IFI-fag jeg har tatt.
[The lecturer] knows what he is talking about, but is not engaging and motivating. I stopped attending the lectures as I understood I would learn just as much from reading the compendium.
Most of the curriculum in this course is covered significantly better by other courses, even as there are more than enough topics to choose from in this field. As the main lecturers don't seem very interested in the teaching either, this course is a very good candidate for complete replacement/curriculum overhaul.
