TKITE 1011-4 Finite automata theory and formal languages, TMV026/DIT321Status: AvslutadÖppen för svar: 2011-05-27 - 2011-06-12 Antal svar: 17 Procent av deltagarna som svarat: 20% Kontaktperson: Börje Johansson» Utbildningsprogram som genomför enkäten: Informationsteknik 300 hp
Your own effort1. How many hours per week did you spend on this course?We mean total time, that is, it comprises the time you spent in class and the time you spent on your own work. Try to estimate the average time over the entire study period.17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.82 - did not attend any classes after 3:d week, since the lectures did not feel rewarding in their own sense» (At most 15 hours/week) 2. How large part of the teaching offered did you attend?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.35 - Only lectures» (50%) Goals and goal fulfilmentThe course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.3. How understandable are the course goals?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.23 - Please write the course goals not as an abstract summary of the course (we can use the course litterature for that), but as a list of skills and specific knowledge the student is expected to acquire from taking the course.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer) 4. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.12 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2 - I am not supposed to answer this question, but there is no way to uncheck the radio button.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable) 5. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?12 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.83 - I felt to many questions were very hard to solve and it took to much time to solve some of the questions.» (To some extent) Teaching and course administration6. To what extent has the teaching been of help for your learning?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.29 - Didn"t attend any lectures.» (Small extent) 7. To what extent has the course literature and other material been of help for your learning?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.82 - The current course book (Hopcroft, Motwani etc) was very theoretical and hard to digest. Switched to learning from "An Introduction to Formal Languages and Automata" (Linz) and it made every concept so much clearer and easier to grasp. (While not delving as deep into formality as Hopcroft).» (Small extent) 8. How well did the course administration, web page, handouts etc work?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.23 - It was very hard to find the actual schedule on the web page.» (Rather badly) Study climate9. How were the opportunities for asking questions and getting help?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4 - Would have wanted scheduled time to get help, not just in lecture breaks, extra important since no solutions to questions were offered» (Rather poor) 10. How well has cooperation between you and your fellow students worked?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.29 - We arranged group practices every week, but would have been nice with scheduled time for that» (Rather well) 11. How was the course workload?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.94 - See my final comment for detailed explanation and improvement suggestions.» (Too low) 12. How was the total workload this study period?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.64 - DAT026 Matematisk Modellering required far more than 25 hours every week.» (High) Summarizing questions13. What is your general impression of the course?17 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.52 - I think this course has vast potential. The material is very interesting and has wide applicability within computer science.
I feel, however, that this course should be held separately for students with mathematical background and a background in CS. To get better results from students, I am fully convinced that the course needs to show much clearer the specific uses of the different concepts, preferrably by one or two programming projects to give the students a hands on experience with the material.» (Fair) 14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- The excercise instructor and how excercise sessions are handled.»- Assignments» - Willard!» - Even if I didn"t attend on lectures (maybe 2 in total) I think the layout is solid.» - Exercise classes.» - willard and the weekly assignment, often explained things in a more simple and easy to grasp way than at the lectures. at the end I stopped going to the lectures and went to willard"s lectures instead, and felt I learned more in less time than at the regular lectures.» - Williards demonstrations, specially the first ones, they way he explained FAs, and how to make "runs" in NFAs. Assignments were cool.» - * Ana Bove, she is doing a good job with the course. * The TA, Willard - he did a excellent job as a TA on the course. * The assignments that give bonus points on exam. This particular part is well constructed in this course. » - The exam walkthrough and exercises.» - Willard» - Assignments» 15. What should definitely be changed to next year?- Try to get financial backing from the IT-programme (and possibly D-programme) to develop a series of programming laborations which are either mandatory or give bonus points on the exam. I think this would take the course to a whole other level. »- Give feedback on assignments.» - More answers to exercises, old exams and assignments. It"s really hard to study and learn things without knowing if you have done it the right way or not!» - hand out solutions for weekly excercises (not assignments of course) at least in the first few weeks to allow people to get a better grasp of what the course is about.» - Exam! Fewer questions! More sample exams and solutions could be good. Although personally I knew about 90% of the real exam, so felt very well prepared for it, so while I didn"t need it, someone else might have.» - I believe solved examples has to be added for next year"s course.» - * Too much material to cover on exercise sessions but not enough time. => solution: Either cut in the amount of material or add extra exercise time. * Fix that computer can talk to OH SW in the lecture hall. This didn"t work this year. A ridiculous amount of time was wasted this year on this. * Not so MUCH focus on proofs all the time. Sure the subject kind on requires it. But sometimes it was WAY to excessive. For example on assignment part.» - Add office hours» - The assignments give too few bonus points to have this as a motivation to do them. Make them obligatory and make them worth a few more bonus points.» - Cannot think of anything in particular that needs changing» 16. Additional comments- The exercise classes were very good but would have been even better if we would have gotten through more exercises each time.»- solutions to weekly questions!!!» - Very good course, but it need still some work to become much better. It has all the potentials to become even better. » - Good course, quite interesting»
