Genomsnitt: 3.4

- It has some good goals and its style challenged our knowledge and term paper motivated me to search and study but I think the way our paper and lab report have been assessed was wrong. » (Fair)
- The course content can be improved to a higher level. I guess all students in this program should have learned about ASIC design flow and about the tools and their algorithms before their master level studies.» (Good)
- very good for teamwork practice.» (Good)
- The course provided good practical knowledge on how the design flow works and emphasized things that has not been talked about before, like the importance of good methods for verification.» (Excellent)

23. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- term paper and lab organization»
- Using more examples rather than overall stories.»
- The labs»
- Labs»
- a) Labs b) Term Paper »
- the lab exercises that follow the flow of the asic design»
- The labseries»
- oral presentation and term paper»
- Everything except webpage.»
- lab work»
- lab session and oral presentation»
- The Lab and the lab report.»
- The lab series and the term papers.»
- The general aim of the course is really good but I guess it would better if the aim is kept while adding more advanced information. The presentations are also good for people seeking a more detailed knowledge about a topic.»
- labs, termpaper, presentation.»
- I like lab, oral presentation, and paper which need to hand in. They are very helpful.»
- oral presentation, lab session.»
- Term paper and lab »
- The labs of course.»
- Term Paper and Presentation»

24. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- somehow the term paper presentations were not that inclusive. it ofcourse depends on students, but may be something can be done to get all the students to all the presentations and get them to read the presentation ppts before coming to the presentation»
- The content of lectures were so overall that should be changed,also reports of each lab should be considered after each lab session and feedback to the students. »
- Maybe changer the labs after the first labs so that there is some kind of preparatory assignment. This i think would make the labs go quicker since you are more familiar with what to do and what goes on.»
- reconsideration of the course workload»
- webpage»
- the way of working on term paper»
- contents of the lecture»
- Perhaps some more advice on how to organize work during the lab series (practical things, like file storage routines, script files and so on). Maybe a lecture with handout material half-way through the labs so that you have made your mistakes but still have an opportunity to change them.»
- It is easily observed that the number of attendants to the term paper presentations decrease with each passing week, eventually only people who must be there and plus 1 or 2 students come to classes. It would be better if this could be improved for both the listeners and the presenters sake. I would have offered to mix the course lectures with the presentations if the number of students were sufficient so that the presentations will again start at the same time giving everyone a fair start to their topics. Also even though I do not like it, there could some kind of a quiz or a small exam that can be added as a bonus (or not) to the term paper grade, which is based on the presentation topics.»
- The grading. Grading of the Lab part looked unreasonable for me. I spent a lot of time on the code, then didn"t get a positive feedback on that. Still don"t know what went wrong according to the feedback then grading on that was fixed.»
- I am not sure.»
- I think if student have some chances to correct their lab report and term paper it would help them to improve themselves. »
- hmmmm, I think some of the lectures are too long. It may be a good idea to peel some time off of them and add it to other practical things.»
- The grading system of Lab part should be defined clearly that what the teachers are expecting from the students for higher grades and what is the marks distribution with in the Lab part i.e 60%.We had no idea about that and we where thinking that only the Lab report will be graded, but we later found that the code has also some marks etc.»

25. Additional comments

- without placing any blame, i was not able to concentrate on all the aspects of the coursework like lab,term paper and presentation, though each component helped me learn a lot of new things, technically and otherwise.»
- Great course! Learned a lot from it. The termpaper gave a chance to do deep-study on a subject of our choice.»
- Thanks for the course.»
- The system of grading was unclear. It"s not fair to work on something when there is no idea on what you will earn!!!»
- The lectures covered a wide range of topics. but each of them are too general for me to understand how they are actually connected to our labwork. I found it difficult to understand the content through the slide, because I don"t have enough related background. I was expecting more simple or practical examples on some work flow details. For example the guest lecture from ATMEL was really intereting, that is easier for me to understand about the workflow.»
- Thanks Tung for your helping and your nice smile!»
- none!»
