Comment

The students mentions an unfair obligatory assignments delegation as there are different types of assignments, some in Java and some in NS3 where the Java ones are deemed to be easier and therefore will get a higher grade.

Quotes

[...]The topics/projects are distributed randomly, which means you can get something you're very comfortable with or have never worked with before. If you get something Java related, you already know the language and can start working on the task itself immaterially. If you get something ns-3 related, you first need to learn and understand ns-3 (which isn't done in an hour or two), then implement the algorithm (or whatever you want) in ns-3, and then analyze it. The latter on requires much more work. Due to that, it's much easier to get a good grade depending on your luck. [...]

All lectureres have been good and show great understanding of their subject.
