Summarizing questions

21. What topics, if any, would you recommend covering in more detail in future offerings of this course?

- more on orchestration using shared and message passing »
- some basic parts like how to analysis assembly code »
- I would have liked more about the programming paradigms. More hands on experience with programming with message passing and shared memory and more explained examples of decomposing orchestrating and assigning in a program.»

- Good but can be even better if things get more organized.» (Good)

26. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- the survey papers handed out, the focus on imaginative thinking (how should architecture look like instead of how we make architecture today)»
- survey paper»
- All except assignments.»
- survey paper»
- Some article readings, exercise sessions and some exercise assignments.»
- Writing survey papers»

27. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- I felt webapage was the only problem, as it is mended now there is nothing to be commented in this case.»
- exercises»
- Be more organized in the beginning of the course.»
- The difficulty level of exercises should be revised, they took me a lot to do them. »

28. Additional comments

- Altogether this course was really nice, with update of today"s techcnology.Survey paper was a good idea.Little mis communication due to mending of webpage,but everything went fine later.»
- Sorry to fail the course, i lose the confidence to pass it so i skip the rest part.»
- It"s really cool to have a professor who is involved with so much research stuff and to hear some about it. I find it quite amazing that Sally has such a network and knows so many interesting people around the world in both academia and in industry.»
