Average answer: Somewhat good

Summary:

The general impression of this course was between Neither good or bad and Quite good. The course difficulty was assessed from Appropriate to Difficult. The amount of work required in relation to the number of credits given was assessed as Appropriate. The feedback on the quality of the lectures ranged from Somewhat good to Very good. The difficulty level of the mandatory assignments were considered Appropriate and the number of mandatory assignments was considered Appropriate by all of the respondents. The amount of work related to the mandatory assignments ranged from Appropriate to Large and the importance of the mandatory assignments for the respondents learning and understanding of the curriculum varied from Important to Very important. The difficulty level of the final exam was evaluated from High to Very high.

The respondants were overall happy and content with the lectures, lecturerer and the structure of the course, but unsure as to how it related to the job market, and the majority of the respondents wanted to see better lecture slides. The respondants missed recordings of the lectures, and wanted to use less time on students solving problems in plenary.

Quotes:

Lecturer is highly skilled, and certainly makes every lecture anything but boring. We take our time going properly through the content of the course, and spend a reasonable amount of time doing practical exercises in class. I feel this gives maximum value out of the hours we have assigned for tutoring
[…] less time bringing students up to the board to go through solution proposals. The slides would also be way more helpful if they referred to the appropriate parts of the papers used for the syllabus
Again, more depth on the content in the slides would help, or at least referrals to the parts of the papers that is relevant
