- Maybe a little more than "No, not at all", but the focus was a lot different from the lectures. And 3 out of 7 tasks regarding proofs of discrete mathematics are maybe a bit to much. Even if the whole plan this year was to make a harder exam compared to last year"s exam...» (No, not at all)
- The exam vas very bad and did not reflect the importent parts of the course. Very unfair compered with last years test! » (No, not at all)
- The examination didn"t reflect the course at all... » (No, not at all)

- I think the exam didn"t reflect the course. There were not many exercises that looked like them we had practiced on. » (To some extent)
- The examination was not fair in the sense that it only tested parts of the course which where the last 10 percent of the total.» (To some extent)
- The exam did not match the lectures, several question did not have relation to the excerices that were given out to solve.» (To some extent)
- The exam was a bit too hard. Bengt told us that he was aiming to make it harder this year. And the difference from earlier years was radical.» (Yes, definitely)
