Quotes:

Very confusing that the entire course materials were in English, but the exam was in Norwegian.
The material is good but possibly a bit dated, and the presentations are okay but very straightforward (little deviation from slides).
The subject was a bit boring, the lecturer quite boring and I don’t feel I learned anything useful.
The only thing the course lacks is more practical exercises to actually build up confidence with actually implementing e.g unit cases.
Lectures are the same as the book, and does little to pull in different perspectives. It’s a bit on the easy side.
