- I can not answer this question because I do not know the considered goals.» (?)
- It was of course hard to test everything in the exam, but I think the exam was a good selection of course topics. One thing: it is important that all students know, before the course starts, how the examination works and how important different parts are (i.e. written exam, project). After the projects were presented Alessandro awarded bonus points to some students by extending the maximum to 13 pts for the project. I understand that this was meant as extra praise for the presentations, but it should have been stated at the beginning of the course. As a student, time is limited and some might have chosen to not do a great project and instead focus on the exam because the project was not so many points. If they had known from the beginning that it would be 13 pts, then they might chosen differently.» (To some extent)
- The course covers a lot of topics, so it is hard to evaluate the students knowledge about them all.» (To some extent)
- The questions in the exam clearly was a well chosen subset of what we were supposed to learn. However, it depends on how harch it is corrected as well.» (Yes, definitely)
- But the exams from the previous three years seem to assess this very well.» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)
