Genomsnitt: 3.75 - My schedule did not allow me to attend the lectures, but the i did watch the uploaded videos (tip: Jean-Philippe should upload his lectures as well)» (0%) Goals and goal fulfilmentThe course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.3. How understandable are the course goals?42 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.33 - I do not understand in 2 months how can i understand 5 paradigms. As 3 paradigms i do not know nothing.» (The goals are difficult to understand) 4.

Genomsnitt: 3.52 - I did not seek a lot of cooperation, just discussed the exercises a little with others.» (Rather well) 11. How was the course workload?42 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.3 - Low, I think this course with hand-in code assignments would work better.» (Low) 12. How was the total workload this study period?42 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.45 - Three courses.» (High) Summarizing questions13. What is your general impression of the course?42 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.3 - majority of student can not learn 5 paradigms in 1 course (2 months). » (Poor) 14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- John Huges is a really good lecturer, though it sometimes feels more like a salestalk for Erlang than an actual lecture in the art of Erlang programming.»- john and his lectures.» - John Hughes» - it is a good course for beginers who do not know programming and set their goals what they want to learn language in future.» - The recording of the lectures and John Hughes, who is a brilliant lecturer.» - John Hughes, the videos of the lectures.» - the teacher» - John Hughes, he"s the one that makes this course possible» - think the course is ok as it is.» - The video presentations of the lectures» - lecture videos» - john hughes parts were excellent, jean-phillipe not so good. » - Even thought it was hard I liked the imperative and object-oriented parts. They focused more on the theories of the paradigms.» - John Hughes» - Live coding at lectures. Great that (most of) the lectures were recorded and uploaded! It helps a lot for people who aren"t fond of thursday mornings. ,)» - Recordings of lectures that were uploaded to the course home page by John Hughes» - you have to have a good instructors for the lab» - Lecture videos, could perhaps be even better if we could also see what"s being added on the blackboard.» 15. What should definitely be changed to next year?- I think hand-in code assignments would be really good (think "Laborationer"), one for each paradigm. They need not be very big, and they can have somewhat automated correction so it does not yield a big workload on course assistant. See programming languages, they give a lot of data you can test your programs on (in this case parsers, typechekcers and interpreters), and if your parser(etc) works on this data, then you can be almost certain that you have solved the task sufficiently correct and a lab corrector need only to skim through the code.»- it would have been nice with labs, the exercises sessions were a bit confused, so we didn"t attend to them. would have been better if you could choose who you work with. jean-philippe writes (on the blackboard) a bit unclear, it was sometimes hard to follow him.» - More slides and information on Functional Programming and less actual programming during those lectures. » - I actually would have wanted a few small labs in this course to show off something from each paradigm and force people to get acquinted with the main languages presented in each category. That or reinstating bonus points for doing exercises.» - This course should not be mandatory because It needs a lot of backgrounds that international students hadn"t fulfilled!» - There are couple of solutions. 1. if you want to study 5 paradigms then there is no need of programming (coding) related questions. 2. Cut down paradigms to 2. As i know there is already a course of different languages.» - The teaching assistants! » - The object oriented and imperative paradigm should be taught in away that is more alike to the other paradigms. Also the two teachers should have a consistent approach both in material and on how the different paradigms are taught. Also all lectures should be recorded and put up on the course homepage. The homepage could also have better structure in the handout section.» - The lecturer on the Imperative and OOp and its slides» - Object-oriented part was too fussy. I never got the grip of that or of the imperative paradigm. Maybe there should be a course book or some sort of compendium. I also would like more example of exams and solutions to problems.» - make the excercises compulsory!» - TA group. It is necessory to make sure that we can get help when we need» - Jean phillipe should be replaced by someone that can speak up » - The exercise sessions. They should be more efficient and you could get some bonus points from solving the exercises.» - upload _all_ lecture videos» - someone else should handle the imperative and object oriented paradigm next time» - While Erlang is a very interesting language I think that concurrent programming contains many other topics worth discussing. Provide videos for all lectures.» - The exercises» - It would have been interesting with a little less focus on language specific issues and more about general principles regarding the different paradigms, and also more of a comparison and analysis between them. The exercises were sometimes really hard. Having more questions each week with a more gentle curve from easy to hard would be nice.» - The exercises instructor is supposed to be the one who really need to help students in any situation, there shouldn"t be any too much challenging or criteria before student get answers (if they want to learn from asking then let them asking)» - you have to have a good instructors for the lab» 16. Additional comments- there was a big difference between john"s and jean-philippe"s lectures, which made us unsure what the purpose of the course really was about. john"s were mostly about good and bad things about languages, jeans-philippe"s about tricky details.»- In a class full of people who already had a very decent knowledge about Haskell and Erlang, it was extremely difficult for someone like me who had never heard of these things before to sustain the understanding levels and keep up with the pace. Still, I must say it was great fun to learn from professor Hughes. My best shot at getting reasonable grades in the course was by doing exceptionally good in Imperative and OOP parts. But the guy who lectured about Imperative and OOP paradigms (and headed the excercise sessions teaching team), trying to understand what exactly he was speaking was quite hard indeed. His accent was extremely hard to place. And when I see him teaching many other courses that I intend to take, I see an uphill battle ahead. God help me. And just to be clear, I"m not questioning his knowledge or his motivation to teach, I"m sure he"s great at these. I"m just trying to express my experience with his ability to be understood. It was awful. I hope there is a language proficiency criterion for the teachers too when they are hired. So overall I had to learn it all by myself. During the whole quarter, the course couldn"t end soon enough for me.» - It was nice to have guest lecturers from the industry to get some insight into the real world of programming.» - In my opinion this course was ridiculous, it started out with haskell assignments that was way to advanced for us who has never seen the language before. That really discouraged me from the course. After that I"ve had no motivation to focus on this course, and all energy this period has gone in to my other course. » - The examination was a real pain. For instance in the OOP part there was a question about a theorem and then a follow up question about the same theorem. So if you couldn"t the theorem then 6/12 points for that part was gone. Looking back at the last two ordinary exams this one can be compared to having a course in introduction to mathematics only to get an exam in quantum physics based on that we"re using plus and minus in the quantum... We where a couple that actually understood the last exams that we got a hold of but was totally confused on this one... otherwise a really good course. » - The code for functional progr paradigm was hard to understand (parser). Things get messy when types are not shown for functions and maybe teacher can slow down little to explain functions. Also explain them several times because short term memory is quite short. Some supervisors may sometime be little unsure of the topics. Also sometimes students can have hard time to understand. Not because he/she is stupid but maybe need a little different explaination, so there is no need to feel "frustrated" because some students find it hard to understand» - really good course»
