Teaching and course administration

6. To what extent have the following course elements been of help for your learning?

Matrisfråga

- Great lectures and exercises in general. The TA:s did a great job, they were very helpful»
- the project also help me much in understanding the techniques behind the lectures»
- Exercise session could be hurried a bit. Generally TA"s used to wait for a reply from the class. But most of the time the class is silent (sometimes not wanting tohe hurried up.. speak out... eventhough they knew the answer!!!). So exercise session can be hurried up so as to cover more problems in the class. »
- book is to expensive!!»

- The project was great. The way this was done, we had to think through every stage ourselves. I also appreciate that the emphasis lay on getting the job done, and not writing a long report about it in the end. However, the project quiz was not well done in my opinion. See remarks on this below» (The type of project used in this course)
- The best way to learn something is to do it on our own (or in group) after having received some theorical stuff. » (The type of project used in this course)
- Perhaps some more guidence. » (The type of project used in this course)
- the project memo is not really clear. it"s to easy to missunderstand.» (The type of project used in this course)

- They could have been better at answering e-mails.» (Rather poor)
- We didn"t ask a lot of questions during the lectures for (I think) two reasons : - First, the lectures (both Fredrik and his slides) are very clear and easily understandable, - The study climate was a bit weird during the lectures. (I mean, everybody was silent) » (Very good)

Genomsnitt: 4.53

- The quiz was not well done, long questions which took too long to understand together with extra information to try and trick you meant you had to guess on some questions.» (Good)
- Lectures by Fredrik was really Good. I think one must attend all his lectures. » (Excellent)
- I think, it"s the best "regular" course I had until now (There was a "project course" which was also very good)» (Excellent)

16. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- the project, the handouts, the disponibility of the professor»
- exercise and project»
- Project»
- Lectures by Fredrik Exercise Sessions by Johnny Karout.»
- Especially the project worked great, and was very rewarding in terms of learning»
- Project»
- the project. This is a good proj for student helping us to understand the basic technique of this course.»
- The team ! (Fredrik, Reza and Johnny) The slides which are very clear and simple to understand even if Communication engineering was new for some people»
- The project»
- Project.»
- The organisation of the course»
- The project and the exercise sessions. »
- project»
- Johnny Karout !»
- the project»
- The Exercise sessions are very helpfull.»
- printed course notes»
- Project, but keep a close eye to groups where members are lacking, cause it creates a lot of work for the rest.»
- It"s good how the project resembles real-life software development. »

17. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- More interactive exercice sessions. More matlab sessions : 2 isn"t enough...»
- Exercise 3 Matlab programming. Though it was very useful the structure needs change»
- Project - Different topic»
- The project test. First of all it was too short of time to finish it. I felt really stressed and didn"t have time to really understand all the questions. And the fact there was no option to ask questions was not good. Any way you look at it, some things can always be misunderstood. Secondly, it did test a lot more than just what we did in the project. It was more like a minitest of the course. The problem is, this is not what it was said to be like. I for example wrote all the code in our project myself (this is not good teamwork, but it is th eway it turned out), and I obvioulsy knew how every detail in the communication system worked. At the test however, I had a hard time understanding 50% of the questions. Had I known this, I would have studied more from the book/exercises»
- dont know..»
- More exerice problems in the class. Definetly this would trigger more questions atleast from the people who are intrested.»
- Some minor details. Like exercise sessions (I would like to see more problem-solving).»
- The lecture slides. There should be more detailed information in the lecture slides. »
- quiz, it is more time critical than testing the knowledge learnt, some of my friends really understood the concepts very well but failed the quiz because they cant handle the hard time limit of quiz»
- don"t need to change»
- the exercises, they should be more like the examination questions»
- More counseling for the project would be nice.»
- give more details about advanced communication systems,like MIMO,OFDM»
- Remove a lot of formulas and proofs. And course material needs a review, a lot of unnessesary things in my opinion. It should be intro.»

18. Additional comments

- i"m glad i took this class!»
- Project Quiz could have been more technical related to project instead of project base»
- Fredrik, Johnny and Reza was very good in Answering the questions that we asked during project and exercise sessions.»
- in general, this is a good course. both theory and practical skill of communication are fulfilled. I am satisfy!»
- This course took most of my time in this period due to the project. May be because it is my very frist course of my master program and I"ve never did a project before, also I"m not good at coding. So it"s been a hard time for me. What if you change the project to an easier one, maybe that would be more suitable for new students like me.»
- no»
