- I take this course as an extra course over my two others. This yields that I do not spend so much time with this course now and I am planning on doing the exam in the retry-period instead.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- We had to study on our own because the lectures and lecture notes are useless.» (Around 25 hours/week)
- too much work in the project stuff.» (Around 30 hours/week)
- since the teacher lecture was not were clear and useful in the class I had to put some more effort» (At least 35 hours/week)

- the goal let one expect more than the course offers» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- All the lectures where about theory concepts, while the exam was about solving problems.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- the goals were defined clearly but teacher could not help us were much in achieving those goals. I mean the theoretical part of the course is very much different from the practical work and despite the good experience the teacher seemed to have he wa not able to share his knowledge and experience with the students » (The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn)

- the exam focused on mathematical skills and guessing if one was not able to solve but not on understanding of the course content» (No, not at all)
- It felt like he wanted to trick us, to test our mathematical knowledge rather than our knowledge in Image analysis. » (No, not at all)
- It felt like the exam tested out math skills more then our skills in image analysis.» (To some extent)
- I believe that the mean shift algorithm was over emphasized in the exam.» (To some extent)
- but based on the old exams of the course I have studied so far I can say it mostly assess the theoretical part which in some cases determines if the student has a good understanding of concepts but some other questions are just mathematical calculations and are not able to assess if you really are able to use this course in practice » (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)

- Lectures and lecture notes were extremely unclear.» (Small extent)
- unfortunately despite the good knowledge the teacher had he was not able to share his knolewedge with students I believe every one can read the text book without attending classes but the reason for attending classes is that the teacher will read between the lines of the book for you nad make things clear and show you the practical application of the concepts in the book teacher should play the main part and the book should be the reference but unfortunately the teacher on this course was not able to share his knowledge with us and we had to just read the book » (Small extent)
- To me the lectures did not seem to give any extra guidance not in the course book.» (Small extent)
- Artur is not the best at the pedagogical, and his lectures are unfortantly not that good.» (Some extent)
- he was open for questions and answered them in a nice way» (Some extent)
- To be honest, I slept trough most of the lectures... Please try to vary between ppt and some other media, like writing on the black board for example.» (Some extent)

- the book is quite expensive, and offer only moderatly more information than wikipedia ...» (Small extent)
- the materials were very well organised and useful but I need some one to guide me through all these things and show me the best and useful way. so because I did not received such guide I was lost between all the lectures and book pages » (Some extent)
- I don"t really like the book and the style the author uses.» (Some extent)
- Helpful, but not especially good course book. Few in-depth explanations» (Some extent)
- Very good to put up old exams on the webpage!» (Large extent)
- the lecture slides were very confusing but the course book could explain most of the topics or at least state some references» (Large extent)
- The laboratory assignments were where I learnt most of what I know, it really helped the understanding of this course» (Large extent)

- Good for the laboratory part, awful when it came to the exercises. » (Rather good)

- we tried to exchange our knowledge over the parts because we couldn"t get anything from class so we had to as for each others opinion on the concept after studying the course book which in some cases led to a wrong conclusion » (Very well)
- I just studied with one other student, and that worked very good!» (Very well)

- the labs were very easy, and no challenge at all, the later labs were just more reading and more coding, but not more difficult ..» (Too low)
- there was no pressure on us and teacher was were kind to let us have necessary time to work on the projects and lab reports » (Adequate)
- to get an acceptable grade in this years exam may workload should have been higher, but you never know before...» (Adequate)
- It felt like it was no time at all for doing the exercises until week 7, and then we hadn"t even had a chance to start with our project either» (Too high)

- The course itself is very interesting but the lectures won"t help at all. I really prefer to have Alexandre Romeo to be the lecturer of this course.» (Fair)
- the study material could have been better (maybe in latex) - i think that would also had helped to have a better structure of the slides - a generall template when approaching a new topic would be nice, sth like: Problem: , Solution-class: .. , Mathematical background, areas where to apply ,advantages/disadvantages, -- sth like this for every method so that one can easier relate between them ... i know its a lot of work to rewrite the lectures and structure them but i think it would be worth it ..» (Fair)
- project very interesting its a pitty that a that intestesting topic is presented in a that boring way! sorry...» (Adequate)
- I would like the course to provide more extended understanding of the more advanced methods. » (Adequate)
- the course is excellent and int resting if some one can teach you the real practical work not just playing with mathematical relations there were some guest lecturers who had done interesting projects with the content of this course but unfortunately I didn"t get very much from the course» (Excellent)
