Genomsnitt: 2.39 - passing the course was so easy. just 15 points from exercises sessions which you can gather from 2 weeks and completing other mandatory labs&assignments provides the remaining 9 points (if I am not mistaken). Then you can collect the 24 points to pass.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- of which 6 hours are lectures/labs» (At most 15 hours/week)

- No actual course literature» (Great extent)
8. Did you find the take-home exam useful or would you rather prefer a traditional written exam?- I really really prefer take home exam. I will probably spending more time than studying a traditional exam.»
- In this course as we had a mandatory lab assignment in every week which carry a lot of marks, so yes home exam seems ok!»
- ok»
- Traditional»
- Some difficulties understanding what was asked for, but I like the idea behind home exams»
- yes take home exam is fine»
- I prefer take home exam»
- Better than traditional exam. »
- it"s ok»
- None of them. Would have prefered a project based on creating something useful that could at the same time teach the syllabus»
- It"s good to have a take-home exam. I don"t think written exam is suitable for most courses in this program.»
- it is more releasitic and can judge whether we learned sth from this course by speaking it out.»
- I think take-home exam is useful rather than traditional written exam»
- traditional written exam is better.»
- Take home exam is a good option consider to the time spend on homework and other labs for this course.»
- Maybe a bit vague demands on the exam.»
- Take home exam was sufficient, although it might be a good idea to specify a number of topics to choose from and not let be open ended»
- Written»
- in my opinion the take-home exam was a good way of evaluation»
- I think that a take-home exam plus mandatory exercises works better in a course like this. It would probably be hard to measure learning in a meaningful way using a written exam.»
- The take-home exam was an interesting way to select from the course the parts that were most interesting. It was a useful revision of the course, and far less stressful than a traditional exam.»
- it was quite useful. Good way of finishing up the course.»
- Useful or not, I dkn"t know... But a written exam would be much more diffecult!»
9. Were you satisfied with the way that homework sessions were conducted? Would you like to change anything?- Dealing with C++ was sometimes pretty though. I wish I could have more JAVA based questions. The points are given so generous, so it was discouraging me to attend sessions and solve problems.»
- Too easy to get score from the homeworks....if I answer a question on an exam, I either get some points or I get zero points. You don"t get any points for trying. The intention is good, but I don"t believe it works to put this responsibility on the students... I know many cases where I/my friend answered a question partly, but didn"t signed up for it..then the one that presented the solution have made no more than us, but he gets the point... »
- I don"t like the randomization part since you have to defend the homework sessions in the exam anyway.»
- Absolutely satisfied, they were very good!»
- no it is ok this way»
- I was satisfied, I don"t want anything to be changed»
- Very boring and bad that not everyone presented. Better instead with smaller groups and everyone present one question each time. But it"s randomly selected which question. »
- that was great»
- To some part yes but I think that the random-generator is everything other than random. »
- it would be better if the homework were given earlier.»
- homework sessions is good enough»
- Overall good.
One alternative is to have smaller groups where you could spend more time to discuss.»
- Yes I am enough satisfied with the way that homework sessions.»
- Yes I am happy. As a suggestion, it is good if every student gets a chance to present some part during the session.»
- Yes! They were very giving. »
- Better discussions»
- Yes.»
- The homework session was useful in applying the theoretical course information. In terms of changes, perhaps smaller groups, in order to increase the chance of presenting one"s work.»
- Somewhat unfair when some did not have to present at all while some did it 3 or more times. Maybe make random less likely to pick same more than once.»
- Satisfied, nothing needed to be changed.»
- Make the groups more equal in number of students. Some groups were a lot more people than other groups.»

Good» | | 12 | | 42% |
Excellent» | | 6 | | 21% |
Genomsnitt: 3.67 - It"s the first course with C++ and it"s a major part of the course. I find it strange to introduce it like this so late in the programme, either introduce it in the beginning just like Java or don"t let it be a major part in any course!» (Poor)
- not all of the homework and lab has good connection with what we learned from the lecture. too many things to learn in such a short period, it"s really hard to go deep. enven we want to learn more by ourselves, there is no time.» (Fair)
- how much did I realy learned? » (Adequate)
- Course material was so interesting and I found it very beneficial. Al tough I believe I should have put more effort to benefit more» (Good)
- This is the best course in Software Engineering I had so far. The delivery, content were really good. It is my understanding that this course may not be offered next year, I think it would be a mistake.» (Excellent)
- This is really a advance course for students that need other views on how to program.» (Excellent)
16. How does the course fit into your program? Is this course unique and necessary or do other courses cover similar topics?- I think this course was unique. I don"t see any other courses approaches the topics in the same manner.»
- Yes, the course seems useful.»
- good»
- It"s too general and I find a lot of C++-guidelines hard to apply in a Java-context.»
- The topics dealt with I consider necessary for future courses.»
- It was pretty necessary»
- This course was unique, i"ve discovered some interesting things in writing code that i didn"t pay attention before»
- Very well. »
- Topics chosen were interesting. But sometimes the materials are going too deep into details.»
- part of it has been covered by other course, but it is good to have this course.»
- it somewhat like program pradigm,which has a lot of priciples and concepts to learn. »
- definitely it fit into my program»
- Unique! Without doubt should there be a course like this in the program.»
- This is very useful course having unique ways of learning and evaluation. »
- The course gives a good explore in the concepts of programming. »
- It sums the previous courses and adheres to topics that wasn"t possible to dig into in past courses.»
- This course will help me become a better and more informed software engineer and think about Design and implementation much more deeply.»
- It fits in good»
- It gave food for thought, the subjects brought up during the course are important to be aware of when developing and designing software.»
- The course is unique so far and on an area I haven"t given much thought before now so it was quite interesting. It was relevant from the point of view of my goals, although this area will not be my main focus for the future.»
- It is needed.»
- The topic is fine.»
17. What additional topics would you like to see in the course? Keep in mind that new topics would probably replace topics presented this year, or topics would have to be refused.- Java focus.»
- I didn"t get the reason of including cobol lecture in the course»
- none i know of»
- They are ok.»
- I need more experience in C++, i don"t know whether the course can use more Java&C# programming language.»
- More C++ earlier in the program. It was harder to do the C++ exercises than the Java ones since you knew less about the language in general.»
- In my opinion there should be a project to implement programming practices as the form of group. »
- more focus on generic constraints applicable to all object oriented programming languages.»
- Overall i liked the setup of the course»
18. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- Java inheritance and parameterization as well as specific equals()-method problems.»
- The homework sessions»
- Every topic. »
- That all the handouts are posted in a good time.
and exercise sessions.. but maybe they could be little bit easier.»
- homework session»
- API design, Encapsulation, Resource handling, Design by contract,Exception safety, Thread safety, Inheritance, Parameterization, Policies, Software analysis
»
- homework sessions!»
- language specific stuff could be reduced where it possibly can.»
- Homeworks»
- Overall i liked the setup of the course»
- The elements regarding API design and exception and thread safety. I found those quite interesting and useful.»
19. What should definitely be changed to next year?- Remove all COBOL-slides (and all non-Java, C# and C++ code).»
- the presentation of homework»
- Lab 2 shouldn"t be included.»
- workload!!»
- if the teaching period is much longer,that"s much better»
- i would say there is nothing »
- "Poster session" should definitely be changed to next year.»
- More on Java... since java is the main programming language in other courses.»
- The definition of the home exam.»
- Higher demands on students. Now one only needed to attend the 2 of 6 homework-sessions to pass the course.»
- Overall i liked the setup of the course»
- limit/remove c++ since standard language is java or require/recommend a c++ course for this one or teach c++ more in this course.
Also cosnder removing the laboration parts, did not feel like you learnt much from them and working in groups is always a hassle when everyone have different schedules.»
- Some overlap with Programming Paradigms»
20. Additional comments- It"s all good, I did learn a lot from this course. Though some of the assignment seems quite tough. For me, in every week, I have to learn new stuffs, cause haven"t read all the topic before. »
- Overall is okey. i"m quite satisfied. just that the course was too demanding. Lectures and homework sometimes are not corresponding. Lecture slides were too much to teach in just 2 hours (70 slides up?). The lecturer should keep track of time more than this, but he was better during the last few weeks.»
- Overall this course is wonderful. Course outline is very good.»
- I am happy about the hings I learned in this course»
- Good work guys!»
- None»
- The price for a 5 min meeting in the last week is kind of high for some considering travel times maybe it can be skipped if you make sure everyone get to present at least once. Maybe there can be 5 exercises each week but you can only get points for 4 of them but all of them will be presented.»
