- Everything was repetition. It was frustrating. Only the VEF assignment was good.» (Poor)
- It was messy and felt far from our project with exception for the assignment that was directly applicable in our team.» (Poor)
- I don´,t see that students with no background knowledge have enough knowledge in order to hold seminars for the other students at a master level. That heavily decreased the learning outcome from the course.» (Poor)
- Content OK. Lectures no help. Strange assignment. Strange exam. » (Fair)
