- It"s sometimes hard to follow B while the lecturer som to extend don"t look at the lecure notes. This is sometimes confusing for students that don"t follow and fully understand the mathematics in topic. » (Large extent)
- The lectures have been excellent! I feel we have been taught so much more than just neural networks.» (Great extent)
- I really enjoyed bernhard"s lectures. I particularly liked approaching the same problem using different approaches, and seeing that the results were equivalent. I think that"s important for a deeper understanding of the material.» (Great extent)

- The homeworks were excellent - open-ended and thought-inspiring. However, there was very little feedback on the homeworks, other than the number of points earned.» (Some extent)

- Sometimes hard to understand what to do, and since we should depend only on lecture-notes that can be unreadable the methods are also hard to understand. I bought the book, although Bernhard did not advise it, and it helped me. Also the book in Mattias Wadhes course helped me somewhat. I can understand people/student that don"t want to buy books, but since this is the root of the information I"d rather want this than just lecture notes, although they also was helpful for solving and understanding the problems. » (Large extent)
- Working on the home problems has been a great learning experience. They make a great combination with the more theory-oriented lectures.» (Great extent)
- Incredibly large amount of time involved.» (Great extent)
- For me, the homework problems were very challenging. But when I finally got the programs working properly, I felt I had a good understanding of exactly what is required to implement the algorithms effectively, and under what circumstances I could trust the results.» (Great extent)

- The notes are really hard to understand if one haven"t been at the lecture and even then it"s some times hard to see the connection to the lecture. One thing to help would be to tell in advance what part is going to be discussed during the lecture so one can read it before hand.» (Small extent)

- Haykin has been a great aid when working on the home problems, and the lecture notes as well. » (Large extent)
- Nice lecture notes. Never read any of the books. » (Large extent)
- Bernhard"s lecture notes were useful. However, I wish I had also purchased the book by Haykin. A more extensive reference would have been useful at times.» (Large extent)
- Since John Hertz"s book is out of print, it will be great if you could write a new book for neural networks course. Or at least, I prefer a better lecture notes.» (Large extent)
- 1E48mo <a href="http://thjvkfplqlbk.com/">thjvkfplqlbk</a>, [url=http://qpexlzxufuzi.com/]qpexlzxufuzi[/url], [link=http://svfsgvglhejs.com/]svfsgvglhejs[/link], http://aykeofxscvqa.com/» (Large extent)
- This is because I want to get to the source of the information. Of course all scientific science is based on a source so I think that it"s very important to buy and to read, complementary to the lecture notes. » (Large extent)

- I want to know in the beginning of the course how many home problems there will be and when they are supposed to be handed in. I also would like the homepage to show what each lecture is going to address. There could also be a part on the homepage with information regarding the home problems and perhaps some kind of news update so that if Bernhard says something important about the course on the lecture this is put up on the webpage as well so people that haven"t been able to attend the class also know what"s happening. » (Rather badly)

- It wasn"t specified how much you needed to work to get specific grades. If you only wanted to pass the course it is still not specified. This gives anxiety to those already unsure. » (Rather badly)
