- I just have seen the example exam and based on that I feel that exam questions are very much depend on memorization and not to understand it. It must be different than what it is seems right now. I read almost all papers and chapters and I still didnt feel secure for the exam since the questions sometimes directly ask some terminology or definition which is very hard to memories and remember» (?)
- I do not believe in written examination in some kind of majors like managerial ones» (No, not at all)

- Based on looking to Exam questions Mr. Starons teaching has cover I guess %50 of the things and rest is memorization of the questions, Mr. Williams part is less covered in the exam. He generally talk about projects and his exam questions are almost always about the papers we suppose to read. I believe its logical to read and understand those papers but I see no point to memorized exactly what is writen and memorize the names of the theorems etc.. also he didnt cover any part for the exam» (Some extent)
- There should be a project or research on this subject» (Great extent)

- I think the area is still new subject to many students and it is their first "practical" exposition to cooperating processes and related topics (except the OS course). Most helpful is real coding and mentoring in my opinion.» (Small extent)
- Some articles were difficult to understand them» (Small extent)
- I read lots of documents and they were good but since we need to read almost 5 papers and 2 chapters for each course its almost 40 papers and 16 chapters which is a ocean and I feel I lost sometimes.» (Some extent)
- Some papers where old or complicated» (Some extent)

- class workload was high since we need to read lots of documents. It is good for me to learn unless there are not questions on the exam which asks question like Explain the differences between Mr X and Mr Y "s theorems. which is almost impossible to remember. I rather prefer questions like mr x theorem is that mr y s theorem is that and tell what are the main differences and which one you prefer etc.. This questions are more logical» (High)
- A lot of reading» (High)
- I suggest to consider prolonging the assignments deadline. They are valuable to understanding what really happens but you can be much more confident (of your understanding) if you get them work the way you anticipate. Debugging the is difficult because of lack of IDE support. It really needs some other backgrounds like Linux know-hows that though have little to do with the internals but will save you a lot of time starting assignments on your own.» (High)
- Too many things to memorize !!!!!! To much but useless» (Too high)

Genomsnitt: 3.15

- its good to learn quality and leadership since I mentioned lots of times but I want to mentioned it again please ask less memoriziation needed questions» (Good)
- I suggest adding an advanced course. Too much material, yet not covered and giving a very practical insight of computers, programming, operating systems... to the ones seeking a rather unified consistent and integral view of computing. Many fundamental areas are involved. Good opportunities in industry also. » (Good)
- Leadership could have been more informative.» (Good)
