- The lecturer always goes off-track on the lecture to talk about life experiences. this just make waste of our time when it comes to learn internet technology. The lecturer talks about the intended topic for the lecture but then incorporates some other stuff and then comes back to the intended lecture. So personally it is hard to focus on the topic» (25%)

- The exam omitted many of the central aspects of the course that a lot of time had been put into (for example TCP, DNS and mobile IP). Some of the questions were on very obscure parts of the course that had not been given any time at all during the lectures.» (No, not at all)
- The exam was just too broad and too many questions. It seems as though teachers want students to be computers to remember everything they have been thought within the 1st 7 weeks in Gothenburg. The standard of the exam was too high and not called for.» (To some extent)

- but the time was really limited to be able to learn ans study all of them.but thiose were helpful» (Large extent)

- some of the presentation which the lecturer used was not there» (Rather badly)
- Att Ping-pong ändrade inloggning i slutet är inte kursens fel, utan IT-service (eller liknande). Inte så himla smart, jag har inte kunnat logga in på kurssidan på snart 2 veckor och jag har varit i kontakt med IT-service både via e-mail och telefon, utan resultat ...» (Rather well)
- materials allways updated » (Very well)
- Only once I was confused with the deadlines for Labs 3 and 4 appearing before the deadline for Lab 2.» (Very well)

- The level may be to low I think. Especially the labs. Most content in course was already learned in a prerequisite course in computer networks» (Low)
- I think there could be more topics to cover in this course.» (Low)
- But probably because I have some personal knowledge to the subject.» (Low)
- A lot of content. And seen in retrospective with the exam written, a LOT of minor details to be learnt as well.» (High)
- Blev tungt eftersom kursen inte startade fören i slutet på LV2» (High)

- Could be so much better if the teacher was lecturing on what he was supposed to talk about and not other stuff. Labs was ok.» (Poor)
- Interesting content, but not very well carried out.» (Fair)
- The Exam was too tough and Course sylibus was too much!!!!!» (Fair)
- The lectures were not good but the labs interesting» (Adequate)
- Bad overview of the lectures notes on the web page.» (Adequate)
- Överlapp med tidigare kurs i datorkommunikation/kommunikationssystem. Kursen skall utgå från de kunskaper studenter som gått på skolan tidigare har, inte nyanlända. Bedrövligt att de flesta masterskurser har överlapp med gamla kurser.» (Good)
- I only have one major concern about the lecturer, so please take a few minutes in reading this complain and thinking about it. Once, the lecturer made a religious comment during his lecturing and I really found it unappropriate, specially for an experienced and a proffesional guy like him. To remind you, while you were talking about some problems concerning the DNS, you said: Now who is going to solve these problem?!! GOD?!!! ALLAH ?!!!.. you said it in a mocking way, and of course, some students, the ones who don"t care about religion, laughed at that, but on the other side, you hurt the feelings of other muslim students who are by the way about half the number of your students. I really felt bad and I didn"t attend the next 4 or 5 lectures.. I even tried to complain to the student centre, but they were not that cooperative, which is another problem. So I decided to just write about that in the evaluation, and hope that someone can think about it to know if he was right or wrong.... Sometimes human beings can be so good at something, but they can really mess up in more important things...» (Good)
