Genomsnitt: 2.6

- Most of the time they do not load properlly.» (Small extent)
- It did not changed my way to work, but I really appreciate the fact that there is a google calendar available.» (Small extent)
- google calendar is very usefull, twitter just works as a substitute for a news section.» (Large extent)
- google calendar should be used by all courses though, to be really useful (interaction design project *hint hint*)» (Large extent)
- The Google calendar is something each course here at Chalmers should offer. It makes keeping up to date with changes in the schedule much much easier. The twitter is just a cool way to communicate extra things to the students. I liked following Staffan as he gave relevant links to articles and other industry happenings.» (Large extent)

- It did benefit the course, since the bar was very high on the assignments, doing elective ones was a great way to achieve extra points. Maybe a bit more options on the elective assignments.» (Very Well)
