- We are going to have exam on 15 December.» ()
- Very difficult to understand what the goals were.» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)
- Great exam, did almost cover the whole course. Some of the question regarding OOP were hard to interpret.» (Yes, definitely)
- The exam was too comprehensive. Yes, the course itself is comprehensive, but there were too many questions of things we had bearly touched. Like the question of which semantics Liskov"s principle was about. That was on one slide, from one lecture.» (Yes, definitely)

- I can"t assess how well I learned the material because I don"t know what I was supposed to learn.» (To some extent)
- I didn"t go to many lectures, some with J and downloaded and watched many of them at least. Went to one of R"s lectures but I left halfway through. He is not a good lecturer, I believe he"s new at it and he"ll probably learn, but right now it doesn"t work very well.» (To some extent) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- I think R could improve his speach. He talks too fast, and mumbing and stumbling on words. It was hard to following.» (To some extent) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- Went to some of J"s lectures» (To some extent) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- Hughes FTW» (Large extent)
- read papers afterwards» (Large extent)
- Since there were no litterature, lectures were the only referens.» (Large extent)
- Föreläsningen var bra, med han som hade hand om funktionella, parallela och logisk delen. Den andra verkade osäker och var svår att förstå. Övningarna vad sisådär.» (Large extent)
- The lectures were good.» (Large extent)
- recorded teaching has been helpful» (Great extent)

- There was no course literature.» (Small extent)
- Skaffade inte kurslitteratur.» (Small extent)
- It would be really nice to get more material or more information on the lecture slides. » (Small extent)
- The slides did just mention different concepts, deeper knowlage internet were a great source... as usual.» (Some extent)
- We hadn"t really any course litterature. It was the slides and the papers, but I also used wikipedia to learn more.» (Some extent)
- Great with recorded lectures» (Large extent)
- I miss having a textbook to read. I know there isn"t a book named "Programming Paradigms" but 2 or 3 strongly recommended books would be nice.» (Great extent)

- The course homepage is awful! Please don"t ever use Studentportalen"s homepages again!» (Very badly)
- Where do i begin flaming? The fact that the teacher didn"t put a planning up, or that he never bothered putting slides up before the lectures? It was dreadful and it"s a shame for Chalmers that courses with this extremely low quality are under it"s name. One good thing was the google-group» (Very badly) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- In The start we received regular emails, but they stopped.» (Rather badly)
- It would be good to reduce the number of different site linked to this course (Homepage on the student portal, site only for the exercices, Google group ...)» (Rather badly)
- I was disappointed in the exercise sessions after the Erlang exercises because one of the solutions was incorrect (backup server) and the other used awkward code (custom function for force-killing processes instead of using built-in technique). After that I didn"t feel confident that future solutions would be helpful enough for me.» (Rather badly)
- Kursadministartion är alltid byråkratiskt och svåröverskådligt. Webbsidan var det svårt att hitta i, mycket "tack vare" chalmers-mallen.» (Rather badly)
- Not very good structure with the handouts etc.» (Rather badly)
- The course was split to two homepages. I didn"t like when they put up one sample exam without solutions and solutions to an exam which questions were never posted.» (Rather badly)
- Shouldn"t they know that? Also, on the exercise on the 6th they asked if we wanted an exercise on the 9th. We said yes, if John had put up a sample exam before that. He did on the 7th. Still, when I came to the classroom at 8:00 (I knew it was rescheduled) it was noone there.» (Rather badly)
- All of the things that would end up there never did. Like the videos from the two logic-lectures. And the sample exam was really late. I think sample exams can be put up on the course page from the beginning. Also, it was from 2007, rather old. And the answers for it that was uploaded like a week before the exam was for another exam... I never understood what the google group was for. The supervisors didn"t know how to do to get hold of past exams (this was before the sample exam was up.) Shouldn"t they know that? Also, on the exercise on the 6th they asked if we wanted an exercise on the 9th. We said yes, if the teacher had put up a sample exam before that. He did on the 7th. Still, when I came to the classroom at 8:00 (I knew it was rescheduled) it was noone there.» (Rather badly) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- The handouts could be structured better using folders» (Rather well)
- I don"t get why there weren"t more old exams, preferably with solutions of course.» (Rather well)

- really i don"t understand the goal of this course ??» (Poor)
- No planning or any other attempts from J to run a good course.» (Poor) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- A tricky topic and a widely spreaded subject makes it difficult to makes a course like this good. This was a good attempt but nothing more. We were just shown some different technichs and the lecturers were just talkning like "here is this concept, works lke this, here is the next".» (Fair)
- Lite flummig.» (Adequate)
- Very good general course on programming languages, I feel it"s given me quite a lot. Some things were hard, others easy, but this is unavoidable with people coming in with different backgrounds. » (Good)
