Quotes:

Home assignment provides a fun challenge where the student gets to challenge his/her programming skills. Knowledgeable professors talking about interesting and important parts in networking. Good TAs that wants to share knowledge.
The practical/home exam part of the course is very different from the lectures. The two parts of the course are almost two different courses. The Home exams requires large amounts of work. More than a 10 points course should contain. Home exams take so much time and energy that other courses the student undertakes will suffer.
