Your own effort1. How many hours per week did you spend on this course?We mean total time, that is, it comprises the time you spent in class and the time you spent on your own work. Try to estimate the average time over the entire study period.23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.3 - This is hard to estimate.» (Around 25 hours/week) 2. How large part of the teaching offered did you attend?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.47 - The lectures didn"t seem neccessary when there were so much else to do» (25%) The teachers" efforts3. What do you think of Martin as a teacher23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.3 - It is the first one I met who encourages all his students !» (very good) 4. To what extent has the teaching been of help for your learning?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.13 - More an inspiration than I felt I actually learned so much.» (Some extent) 5. Write a few things that were good with Martin"s teaching- Discussions, examples »- I liked the discussions, and the interesting subjects that were brought up during the lectures.» - I like the discussions in class» - The teacher took time to teach. It is what I noticed because usually teachers are always in a hurry and do not take a quarter of hour to explain in detail something, even futile.» - 5 min discussion sessions. He teaches ways of reasoning rather than facts or algorithms. He has a burning interest in the subjects covered (and he shows it). He is interested and listens to the reactions of the students. He also talked about pedagogics/didactics in away which is could for the students to hear and for the course as a whole.» - He makes you think about the problems yourself.» - Having discussions, making us think, adapting the course when needed (ie removing the second assignment when it became clear that the first one took much time)» - motivation» - Discussing a top-down view on the problem is invaluable His way of including students actively in the process of thinking and concluding is perfect. The way he went into details considering students like me who didn"t have the related background was really good» - Good with discussions. Seems to have ambition to and puts effort into the lecturing. Good presence. Entertaining.» - It was very interesting and inspiring.» - He makes the subject even more interesting and he made me think in new ways when solving problems. » - He is passionate about the subject.» - Strong focus on developing intuition for modelling and critical analysis of models.» - Martin"s knowledge of the field, examples shown in class were good.» 6. Write a few things that where bad with Maritn"s teaching- Hard to hear the other students sometimes, he could repeat (briefly) what they say in class discussions»- The lasts few lectures were not really interesting because not centered on the topic of the course. The important notions you developped in linear algebra are essential but just a good reference of a book would have been enough for those who did not learn these notions before (but I don"t know which is the background of other students, I was lucky to follow advanced courses in mathematics).» - The learning goals regarding the home problem could be more clear (the focus on the learning experience for example). » - Sometimes a bit too much, and doesn"t move on when no one knows the answer. » - sometimes the topics were discussed a bit superficial» - I wish him to go a bit more into specific details» - Hard to explain: Felt like he expected to much of the pupils at the same time as he communicated. Maybe mostly the boid-assignment made me think that he sometimes has a weird judgement of the students capacity and time-efficiency.» - Maybe too high level...» - The confusion around the home problem #1. I for some reason assumed there was value in handing it in before the class review, but this probably hurt my score.» 7. How did you find Kristian"s guest lecture on evolutionary game theory?22 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.45 - He had a burning interest in the subject (and he showed it).» (very good) 8. How did you find Claes" guest lecture on simulation methodology?21 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.95 - He knows a lot but it would be better if he adds more excitement to his lectures. I like his lectures but sometimes I loose the track.» (good) 9. How did you find Kolbjorn"s guest lecture on Artificial life?22 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.86 - Kolbjorn is a very good speaker, he speaks in a clear, calm and confident way. You really feel that he knows these things very well, and that he"s so sure of his message (and it"s importance) that he can just let the message talk for itself without him having to try to "convince or persuade" anyone.» (very good) 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.10. How understandable are the course goals?22 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.63 - This question needs to either have a link to the course goals or to have another alternative namely:
I have read the course goals, but I do not remember them.» (?) 11. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.16 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.93 - For those who think that the goals are too low, they can spend more time on the project to improve it or do better demos etc.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable) 12. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?16 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.87 - Some things are not examined at all (networks and cellular atomata)» (To some extent) Teaching and course administration13. To what extent has the course literature, i.e. research articles and links to web pages, been of help for your learning?22 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.13 - I would like a link to that first book there.» (Small extent) 14. How well did the course administration, web page, handouts etc work?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.17 - Some information was found on the homepage but it would be very good with a schematic of what every lecture will be about. It would also be good with a plan for the complete course. The page should be more connected to Studieportalen because the homepage was difficult to find.» (Rather badly) Study climate15. How were the opportunities for asking questions and getting help?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.82 - The teacher seemed to make his best to help students (cf. questions about home problem : he aswered them without being weary).» (Very good) 16. How was the course workload?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.56 - I work a lot at the beginning when I did not understand what was expected for the home problem, but then it was ok. » (Adequate) 17. How was the total workload this study period?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.73 - (Not taking the extra course i took into account)» (Adequate) Project work18. What was your general impression of the project work?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.56 - A bit hard to decide topic» (very good) 19. What do you think of Kolbjorn as a tutor for the project work?19 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.58 - He was enthusiastic and helpful.» (very good) 20. What do you think of Claes as a tutor for the project work?19 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.88 - He knows a lot and has many good pieces of advice. Extremely good tutor. » (very good) 21. Do you think the project work toke too much time in relation to the rest of the course?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.78 - I would rather have 3 home assignments, one on each part of the course. Autonomous agents, networks, cellular automata.» (yes, it should be a smaller part of the course) 22. In the project work, how well did the cooperation between you and your fellow students work?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.82 - But in hindisght i would have done the work in a smaller group. » (Rather well) Home problemThe home problem this year was an experiment. Below I try to get some feedback to learn if I should repeat this (or something like this) next year, and in that case what I should do different.23. What is your overall impression of the home problem?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.47 - We were free to organize our work as we wanted.» (very good) 24. Was the problem...22 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.9 - I cannot answer this since I have not finished the hp. But it has taken a lot of time.» (?) 25. What was good with the home problem?- Clearly illustrates the difficulties of modelling complex systems»- It was fun to simulate somthing own and ta draw own conclusions» - To manage to see the flock flying on my computer !» - It"s a "real-life" situation which I might be confronted with. It"s open ended. It"s fun with boids since it"s visual and easy to related to.» - It was a real problem that demanded real effort and understanding of the process.» - Interesting, challenging. » - topical theme» - It is interesting and I suppose this is somewhat similar to the reality when there is a simulation problem» - That is was open ended. But the whole idea with open endedness falls if you are expected to produce some specific result anyway. » - That it wasn"t given exactly how to come up with the result and that you had to think for yourself what the next step would be to advance.» - It required some free thinking!» - Hands on, I know now that I have some capability to do an involved agent-based model.» - Close to real research.» 26. What was bad with the home problem?- Unclear goal»- It was a bit boring to simulate swarms, since we already worked a bit with swarms in Stochastic Optimization Algorithms last quarter» - It took alot of time» - Just maybe a lack of precision at the beginning : it took time for me to understand that the hints you gave was just a hint and we could have prove any other thing we thought wrong in the article. » - The problem formulation. The lack of focus on the learning experience and the reporting of it. That you showed us movies of starlings moving about in several clusters- joining up and then spliting apart again - the behavior I tried to model was greatly effected by this (in the wrong direction). » - It was easy to get stuck on details, I think it would have been easier for me if I had discussed it more with others. That might be a good tip for next year.» - Too much that could go wrong, not enough understanding of the problem before starting with it.» - without the hints it was difficult to understand what the exact exercise was» - For some reason it was just very difficult to solve and needed huge amount of time. » - To difficult. » - I was really stuck on getting the boids moving like the birds in the filmclip that we saw in the lectures when you appearently didn"t have to achieve that to get the results. Some hints about this earlier would really have helped me out at least.» - I focused on the model and results, and less on the logic of challenging existing work, though thought my method and approach was sound, yet seeming lost substantial credit due to that aspect. The feedback didn"t help me understand why my logic wasn"t acceptable.» - Close to real research. Frustration with not getting good results.» 27. Do you have suggestions on what to change and how?- Just what I wrote in the precedend block. It is okay otherwise.»- See above answers.» - An introductory lecture to the problem where the key concepts are introduced would be good. » - I"ve heard that earlier years it was a home problem about escaping from fires? It would be very good with a home problem where there is a good reason why to do some research. At least I did not get much motivation of trying to solve this problem.» - More guidance, maybe give a suggestion of equations for the model, if the specific result is desired. Otherwise make it optional to reproduce the anisotropy and make room for other conclusions in the report.» - I think the original, somewhat open, problem formulation would be appropriate if there was only one home problem (intentionally). With two problems, the problem should perhaps be more clearly defined from the start.» - Now that the first attempt at using this problem has been done, the instructions can be given in one document at one time. Also, it would be of value to know what aspects would be considered for grading the work.» - Divide it into sub questions that lead the students in the right direction» Summarizing questions28. What is your general impression of the course?23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.34 - Good ambitions but I think the students want to learn more, not just pressured by given lots of things to do without getting the tools» (Adequate) 29. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- Guest lectures»- The network lab was fun» - The teacher !» - Everything except the home-problem (it must be drastically changed, and presented in a different way).» - Martins lecture style ant the project» - The way of teaching» - Type of examination» - Some really good inspiring lectures!» - Guest lectures, project.» - Project work and Martin"s teaching.» 30. What should definitely be changed to next year?- Spend more time on cellular atomata and networks, a bit less on agent based modelling»- The time for the presentation. I was lucky to have my presentation in the morning but I think it is not fair because I had more time to discuss my results. It is interesting and constructive to have remarks from other students on our work.» - The home-problem (it must be drastically changed, and presented in a different way).» - home problem definition» - Another home problem and a plan of the complete course that is online from the first day. The home page should be more related to the course and studieportalen» - Do something about the boids. It could give a whole different impression of the course. » - See 27 and 18 (if anything).» - The homeproblem» 31. Additional comments- You did not give some instructions neither for the presentation nor for the report. I was a little bit surprised but, afterall we learn to be independant and i manage to build my presentation and a report. If there is a problem, you will tell us and we will have a second chance (2nd correction). As a foreign student, I am not used to have a second chance. »- It was nice to get your email about our accomplishments!» - I"d really wanted to have hand-ins on both networks and cellular automata to.» - Do not use the TO-field - when emailing a long list - for example when the mail about this evaluation was sent out. - people get spam and so forth...»
