- Too large secod lab. Should be divided into smaller parts. The lab PM should be rewritten to give corrcet bit Endian in the tables. We spent a week on a bug relating to this.» (Probably effective)
- well they can be improved, you can add some small assignment pertaining to solving real time programming problems and scheduling etc. And I feel that train simulation program is perhaps not so effetive.» (Probably effective)
- Depends on the lab» (Probably effective)
- Although more labs can be good. The current lab can be just the second of 2 labs which can help understand more the language. The first lab can be an introduction and practice for ADA95.» (Very effective)

- Try to use "tabs", so that the homepage gets more overwievable. To much unneccecarily information on the homepage, the students does not read it..» (Very badly)
- Home page is not well organized, and material is hard to find. Also, homepage is hard to find, but it is not a exclusive problem with RTS, but general to student portal.» (Rather badly)
- It is a bit confusing .. the page is complicated and you can not search in it easily! but the material are graet » (Rather well)
- Lab booking: not very convinient» (Rather well)

- It seemed like both the lab assistants weren"t really understanding/paying attention to what our (me and my lab partner) questions/issues/and problems were and instead focused and insisted on other aspects that were irrelevant, or almost gave us complete parts of the solution we weren"t actually working on at the moment. Also, the chinese girl (don"t know her name) has got huge problems at understanding and speaking english altogether.» (Rather poor) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)

- More on hands practice for ADA95 is required as I didnt understand it until several weeks.» (Good)
- Very good lecturer, few at Chalmers is this good. The only thing that bothers me is that he pronounces words like "fast", "last" and "task" with british accent, which really messes up the flow of the language since he pronounces everything else like an american (which is good because american english is generally easier to understand). So my tip for the lecturer, go american all the way! Don"t let those middle school english teachers get to you! Cheers» (Good)
- good lectures... exercises sessions were clear! » (Good)
- very good lecturer, I think. It"s easy to understand the lectures (though this subject is quite new and difficult for me) then no need to pay much time to fix the confusions in the books.» (Excellent)
