The general impression of the course ranged from Very bad to Very good, but leaning more towards Very bad. The difficulty level of the course was considered Appropriate and the amount of work in relation to the number of credit points was evaluated from Small to Appropriate. The respondents rating of the quality of the lectures ranged from Quite bad to Very good, with the majority of the students giving a somewhat bad rating. The importance of the presentation for the understanding and learning of the curriculum was considered Not important. The amount of work associated with the take-home exam were evaluated from Appropriate to Large and the difficulty level of the take-home exam was considered to be Appropriate to High.

The students felt as though the course lacked planning, and that the lecturer lacked interest when presenting the subject. Some students noted that they were given too little time to finish the mandatory assignment, and that there was confusion regarding the formation of groups for group projects.

Quotes:

I loved the course before starting on it. It is a very important course! And I know the teacher is very hard-working, smart and good at reflecting. However, this is no course for students who care about their grade, as it is very unorganized and stressful. […]

Huge lack of information, false statements, trivial presentations and insufficient interest from the educator.

Course communication is not sent to every attending student, students were given one day to come up with and present a presentation.
