Quotes:

Mandatory assignments should be graded as parts of examinations because the workload is too high.
Very vague teaching - expects us to include or exclude this and that, without even telling us/hinting to what’s needed or not. […]
The course content is good.
The desired level on the final home exam was very high considering the requirements, the time available, and the resources available.
[…] The whole course lacks of a leitmotif [Ed. recurrent theme] which should not be the case. So a more strict structure of the lecture would be desired.
