Summary:

The respondents general impression of the course were generally either Quite bad or Quite good. They reported that the courses difficulty level were Appropriate to Difficult, and the amount of work required in relation to the number of credits given was Appropriate. The respondents mostly considered the quality of the lectures to be either Quite bad or Quite good. The difficulty level and the number of graded mandatory assignments, as well as the amount of work associated with them, were generally considered as Appropriate. The respondents thought the difficulty level of the final exam was Appropriate to High.

Based on their general impressions, the respondents more or less fell into two equally sized camps. The crowd with the positive impression generally didn’t elaborate, while the crowd with the negative impression generally agreed that some of the lectures could have been more engaging.

Quotes:

It was quite difficult and the main teacher is not very engaging in his lectures. It is hard to understand the topics by reading from a powerpoint slide.

The lectures can be improved significantly! The lecturer rushes through slides filled with a lot of text instead of explaining how and why.

The system where the files and lectures are uploaded is not really great. We get no notification of when files are added or updated. I think a good solution would be to use Canvas

Might want to decide, once and for all, how the await language looks. It’s okay to use a theoretical language […] but you really have to decide on its syntax and keep that syntax consistent
