Quotes:

I liked the lectures with good explanations. It was great to have automatic validation on the first few assignments in order to easily build confidence and competence on the syntax. […]

Relevant assignments, some lectures held by people working on related technologies, good combination of theoretical and practical content

I thought the quality of lectures was inconsistent, from some where I was barely able to grasp what the lecture was about, to others that were simply amazing.

I would prefer the lectures to be more practical oriented and showing real life examples Overall I was very pleased with the lectures. [Lecturer] were incredibly good at teaching. I found all the slides very helpful and great for later review and studying. I was not as impressed by the guest lecture, but I suppose that people that do not work as teachers cannot be expected to have an equally high standard. Lectures about SPARQL queries was harder to follow due to language and number of examples
