Quotes:

This is well designed and well paced course. In all respects, this course is one of the best in all UiO / HiOA cources.
The level of difficulty for the assignments were too high, which made it difficult to focus on anything else besides working from deadline to deadline each week.
The fact that the course is very “real life” oriented makes it good.
Both teachers have an exceptional way of teaching and they use great examples while teaching :)
