- There is not hard to find good literature about the subject, me and my fellow students had to get other material to lern the course.

- bad instructions, no one to ask for help» (Very badly)
- The Web page is like a labyrinth, teacher is missing?!» (Very badly)
- You might think that a course in computer communication would have a nice, easy-to-handle web page. Think again. It is messy, old and students have little access to answers to problem in the book or to past exams. This might be because the exam is just copies of some questions in the book. The teacher hasn"t done much for improving the course. » (Very badly)
- Three times there was suppose to be a lecture but no information that it had been canceled» (Very badly)
- The webpage is out of date and complicated to navigate on» (Rather badly)
- The assignments worked well but it is bad that the teacher did not show up for two lectures» (Rather well)
