Genomsnitt: 3.28

- The course is claimed to be very broad, but all it covers is different aspects of economics and IT.» (Fair)
- I was disappointed in the beginning. Wanted better lectures, more clear descriptions of what to learn and how to apply it in the assignments.» (Adequate)
- But there seemed to slightly too much focus on the subjects of economics and information technology. These are parts of society, of course, but by no means the only ones. More ethics, sociology and science theory would have been welcome.» (Good)
