- The goals are reasonable but i think we could have dug deeper into all subjects. especially transforms» (No, the goals are set too low)
- The desired effort could have been more. For 7,5 ECTS I expected a bit more content, maybe also a bit more into detail.» (No, the goals are set too low)
- This did not feel like a Chalmers course (too little calculations etc)» (No, the goals are set too low)
- as long as i"m going to study in biomedical engineering an following the image, the course was a good view of what I should think of imaging...» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)
- Had hoped for the course to cover more parts and more dept. This being said, the course does give a good understanding for image processing.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)
- According to my background (Bachelor of biomedical eng.)the goals were very interesting and easy to obtain.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)
- Although the course contents have some difficult parts, the lecturer explain those part in excellent way.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- Exam had a very few topics covered and it was unexpected.» (No, not at all)
- Would have preferred an exam that spanned the entire course instead of two random subjects.» (To some extent)
- the exam was a little bit more challenging than I expected» (To some extent)
- The point here is that the examination had its major part from 1 topic only which is a little bit not good in the sense that if a person is weak in that topic, its possible to lose marks on the exam. This should not be the case because if I prepare all the topics but lag a little bit in one topic, it should not affect my results in a really bad way. So in order to have good balance, examination must be from all the sections studied with almost equal contribution during the course » (To some extent)
- For example "compression" was hardly not asked in the exam, although it took a quite great part in the lessons.» (To some extent)
- the exam didnt covered all the goals even a very part of it.» (To some extent)
- Especially 2d and 2e. If you have a reasonable understanding of wavelets, you can figure out the answer. This is how exams should be, not copying phrases from the book or lecture notes. You should learn a lot on the exam as well.» (Yes, definitely)
- It"s good with many questions in a narrow area to see wether the students have understood everything.» (Yes, definitely)
- The exam was mainly talkative and I could perfectly show my skills and the level of my understanding.» (Yes, definitely)
- The exam was really chellenging! It tested the ability of analyzation power of the students.» (Yes, definitely)
- Have not read them» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)

- Did not need it. I"m smart.» (Small extent)
- I think it would be better to have lectures and computers studies seperated. What we did at the computer part of the lectures are things we could have done in our sparetime and in that way one could get more information out of the lectures.» (Some extent)
- The teaching was helpful, but often very slow and without technical details and derivations - "use this magic fomula and it will work", I would prefer to know why it works.» (Some extent)
- I do not at all like the concept of students answering questions and speeking straight out in the classes. In my oppinion it gives a very alarmed climate in the class room, which I and all of my friends didn"t like. Our main complaint was with students telling every thing that came to their minds even if it wasn"t remotley correct. This made us skip many of the lectures... I would also like to seperate the lectures from the computer practices.» (Some extent)
- I think the lectures could be improved quite a lot. Mixing teaching and exercises for the student just makes the lectures extremely slow. It"s annoying to have to wait for half an hour before everyone has completed some exercise. It would be much better to divide the teaching into pure lectures with theory and other sessions dedicated to the exercises. That would make it easier to choose what lectures to go to, and would also make less time be wasted before Alessandro can get people back to listening after each exercise.» (Some extent)
- Alessandro is very good at explaining but the lectures went forward very slow compared to what I"m used to.» (Large extent)
- Alessandro put all his heart and mind into the teaching and its very visible for all the students.» (Great extent)
- the teaching at the class was the best way to understand the course» (Great extent)
- Lectures were great! I didn"t need to study much at home!» (Great extent)
- The lectures where great, good jab Alessandro! Nice to see a teacher that dedicated to this extent» (Great extent)
- Have never had a more enthusiastic teacher! :) If you would ask the exact same question ten times, he would just smile and try and answer it in a different way.» (Great extent)
- I think lectures were kind of catalysor for better learning.» (Great extent)
- The teaching has been of great help. Excellent lectures with alot of examples and a lecturer who really cared if we got it or not.» (Great extent)
- Alessandro was really a good teacher. His friendly behaviour, jokes, etc helps us to get 100% from the class. He knows how to make a class interesting.» (Great extent)
- Alessandro"s kind of teaching was completely new to me, and he maybe was the best teacher I ever had. Due to his extremely friendly way of teaching and all the fun during his lesson I was very much encouraged to attend every lesson. This let me stay in regular contact with the whole subject. So, Alessandro: keep on being such a nice person!!» (Great extent)
- Alexandro rocks.» (Great extent)
- + for Alessandros commitment» (Great extent)

- Didn"t buy the book. Lecture notes and problem sets are pretty good.» (Large extent)
- The lecture notes were good.» (Large extent)
- the problems help me so much to understand the many subjects.» (Large extent)
- As the professor loved the course and teaching, he transfered his feeling to us too.So I could concentrate very well.» (Great extent)
- More so the lectures but the course literature has helped aswell.» (Great extent)
- The book is great, and the lecture notes are good too, but could be better.» (Great extent)
- The book covered all of the course stuff and so I always had the chance to read along when I didn"t understand something.» (Great extent)
- notes and book were awesome» (Great extent)

- I don"t like the concept of two different web pages, but the most annoying thing was that the non official home page was not reachable either from Google nor from mr. Romeos homepage so you needed to know the address to get to it.» (Rather badly)
- administration was good, all info got out.» (Rather well)
- I wouldn"t mind a bulletin board on the homepage for important information about the course.. » (Rather well)

- Everything worked just as one would hope that it works.» (Very well)
- Always in time, we stuck to the timetable as posted on the web page and everything was available. The only thing: the PDFs were rather bad. I would have preferred documentation by Alessandro himself, so without this mistakes.» (Very well)
- Everything was easily accessible!» (Very well)

- One feels very welcome to ask questions, very good.» (Very good)
- Mr. Romeo is very, very helpfull!» (Very good)
- The opportunity for asking questions was more than great. Personally however I would appreciate less questions and comments from the class during the lectures. There was always time to ask questions before the lecture, during the break and after the lecture. Than it would be possible to include more into the course.» (Very good)

Genomsnitt: 3.4

- The cooperation with the hand full of students I usually work with, and did the image processing project with, worked very well as usual. But the cooperation between me and the class as a whole was rather poor. Might be because of the different academic background of all students, but I felt that the I was far more advanced than most of the class. This should not be a problem, but the high number of irrelevant questions/comments slows down the lectures and gets frustration.» (Rather poorly)
- Having some of the international students in the class is sometimes like a children"s playground. Not what I"m used to at Chalmers bachelors level. Learn to shut up and stop sucking up to the teacher!» (Rather poorly)
- nice with some projects i think» (Rather well)
- Other students were not very clever and not much of a help. I could have made my project faster alone.» (Rather well)
- I worked with my old friends, but it might have been hard to work with others because of the different background.» (Rather well)
- The project presentation gives an opportunity to share the ideas between groups.» (Rather well)
- I learned alot by working on the project in a team work.» (Very well)
- cooperation between student was heavily recomended by the professor and therefore it was easy.» (Very well)

- because of what I"m used to from the engineering physics program.» (Too low)
- This was my first course at masters level. The bachelor courses at chalmers are harder than this, unfortunately.» (Too low)
- If you are allowed to bring anything to the exam, you do not feel very encouraged to learn a lot before the exam. The project was very good though, I learnt a lot doing it.» (Low)
- The average workload was low, but at the time of the project where the workload was higher it collided with projects in my other course. Because of this it was hard to give this project as much attention as it deserved.» (Low)
- Almost to low, but other courses I took had a high work load which for me compensated the lower work load in image processing.» (Low)
- Could have been slightly more...» (Low)
- To low for me and to high for people who were not from F.» (Adequate)
