- Much of the information from the lectures could be read in the lecture notes. Some plan about what next lecture will be about would be very good.» (25%)
- Excellet lecture notes. But lectures did not explain much more than the lecture notes.» (25%)
- The teaching didn"t offer much more than the lecture notes. » (50%)
- To be honest the teachings were a bit unnecessary as the teacher only said what was in Bernhard"s lecture notes.» (100%)

- Lectures follow notes quite rigidly. Personally i find it more effective reading the notes.» (Small extent)

- No plan, no information about when next assignment should be handed in. Maybe all example sheets could be released in the beginning of the course. It would be much easier to plan the course. Maybe a course informtion document would be good.» (Very badly)
- Some information was only given through a mailinglist which I as a last years student wasn"t part of. All information should be availible through the homepage!» (Rather badly)
- Nice if exercises are posted well in advance of deadline (3 weeks or soo).» (Rather well)

- Good and interesting course content. I only attended the first two weeks lectures, and on those lectures the content were not made as interesting as it could have been. I can do the math on my own, on the lectures I rather want to get an intuitive feeling for what the equations mean and how to interpret them.» (Adequate)
- The material is interesting, but the lecturer isn"t comfortable enough with it to teach it» (Adequate)
- Finally some true maths...» (Good)
