- I found the lessons moved too slowly over the slides and skimmed completely over any practical details. The supervision meetings became about the lecturers telling us they wouldn"t even read the code.» (50%)

- I think there should be a clearer view of the course when the course begins. Not like now, when things are decided after the course start.» (The goals are difficult to understand)

- I think the project"s objective should be more advanced. I did, based on the proposition by the teacher, didn"t make feel like I even needed to learn anything about AI to make it.» (To some extent)

- Hmm. some lectures was repetition of other courses like: machine learning, programming languages and logic in computer science» (Small extent)
- Basically had to learn the course independently. The teaching actually impeded in some cases with false leads.» (Small extent)
- The courses were too superficial, they didn"t bring any important knowledge. That"s because for each field of AI, there was only one course to present it. I don"t have the feeling that I have learn much during the course.» (Small extent)
- There should be more lectures. Six is not enough for the huge topic that AI is. If you don"t want to have an examination of everything that you say on the lectures, you could have seminars where people tell us how they use some AI-technique in their work/research. I know there are plenty of people working with this that would be willing to have a seminar. Look outside your department.» (Some extent)

- The homepage is quite messy. The schedual doesn"t contain all the info you expect it to contain. You have to check the news items, which happen to be a page containing a lot of text. You guys you use the schedual when you got one. » (Very badly)
- The homepage is a joke, and the same goes for the course administration.» (Very badly)
- The webpage was massively under utilised, bookings had to be made on a sheet of paper stuck to the wall in a corridor - communication was often word of mouth for me.» (Very badly)
- Massive amounts of News with important dates and deadlines added just some days before the deadlines.» (Very badly)
- It took two weeks before groups were formed for many groups and the staff claimed to have lost the group lists. I mean, the course is only 7-8 weeks long. This has to be accomplished in less than a week. Use the fire system ffs, it"s perfect for this and people know it already. Scrap the google groups.» (Very badly) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- Hmm everything is written in the new link but it is to much and little hard to look for what is needed. better grouping in topics may be better» (Rather badly)
- The web page is good, and there were no handouts that I recall. But the administration should be better! Have the course planned from the start, and don"t make up things to do during the course.» (Rather badly)
- The news was messy» (Rather badly)

- Unfortunately not too well» (Rather poorly)
- I would have prefered to choose my own partner for the project.» (Rather poorly)
- 1 member of the group is doing nothing, the other two at least are coordinating to some extent. Lecturers are not interested in these problems though so an unfair amount of work can result from a bad group member who can use our work to pass the course.» (Rather well)

- When finally getting the groups together after two weeks, we got one week to prepare an interim (half-time) report with still far too little knowledge about anything. Followed up by a review of other groups reports where we"re assumed to know more about their area than that group itself. That"s just not reasonable. Same with the second interrim reports. The reports were more than often insufficient and giving little room for discussion.» (Too high) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)

- Sorry but this is the worst course I"ve ever taken. And I really rarely complain about courses.» (Poor)
- I feel like I haven"t learn anything. This because the course were too superficial and the project not enough complicated.» (Poor)
- I would like to have more lectures/seminars. There is too much focus on just one project. Maybe the oral exam will change this, but so far we have only focused on P/NLP/ML (our own project). If there should have been more lectures, this would have been better. When you don"t have any lectures and are just working on one thing, the rest of the parts in the course can easily disappear from your "view". A suggestion is that instead of one huge project, one could do two or three smaller projects. This would give a wider view of the AI field.» (Fair)
- Given the wide scope and limited period it is difficult to say if it covers everyone"s goals. But from my own view point, I wanted an introduction to AI in general. And wanted to specialize in a particular sub field. The project was a good way to specialize. But I wish the lectures were oriented to give an intutive idea of advanced concepts and applications. Rather than a highly theoritical introduction to basic concepts. Rather a tough way to learn something in a short period.» (Adequate)
- The course is what you make of it. » (Good)
