- This topic is very relevant and interesting, however the way it"s presented - and by who it is presented - was simply horrible.» (5)
- I find the topic highly interesting and relevant for the future. The world is just screaming for innovation and a breakthrough in this area. This is probably a subject which is more interesting to work on in a detailed manner, that is, in a narrow subset of the whole area. As this course was meant to give an overview and basic introduction, it was not so interesting.» (5)

- WTF?!» (No, not at all)
- The examination was too much of: List the x points of subject y.» (To some extent)
- The exam revolved almost completely around naming methods and ways of doing things, but not to what use these methods were or what their pros and cons were. For instance: There are 8 kinds of different Interfaces. Name 7. Not "Name 7 and explain their use"» (To some extent)
- More questions spanning over the whole subject.» (To some extent)
- Some questions asked for details that had to be memorized rather than general understanding of different topics. For example, there is no way I"m going to remember how Azuma defines augmented reality in a few weeks.» (To some extent)
- Very bad exam, everything except last 2 questions only tested if I"m able to memorize lists of concepts. I see no use of this. Last task much better - tested general understanding and in-depth usage of concepts learned.» (To some extent)

- Jag vet inte riktigt vilka det är. men han sa ju att han knapt hade fått någon kritik så dom måste ha sköt sig ur dåligt för hella klassen är ju i upror för kursen är så dålig.» (Very badly)
- The exercises where quite bad. There are some extreme Human human interaction problems going on. Ironic to find these problems in a course that is supposed to handle interaction. There should be some cognitive walkthroughs performed on the exercise texts.» (Very badly)
- I find the system of handing in physical copies bad. This, a HCI course. Dealing much with how to make user-friendly interfaces and also how technology can be incorporated into everyday life, does not at all utilize it by handing in electronical copies through for example a webinterface. Irony.» (Very badly)
- I have to say that the administration was crap! This is a course for CS and IT and too use a box to where you have to hand in your papers are a discrase to these two departments. I don"t know if they know about a system called FIRE that are used by many other courses. Also a simple email system would be better. Than the course assistants wouldn"t loose papers that was already handed in.» (Very badly)
- With a lot of errors on the homepage which conflicted with what the teacher said it was very hard to know which information to adjust to. » (Rather badly)
- e.g. Web page was not used when a lecture was cancelled. Actually, no news have been given through it at all.» (Rather badly)
- I"ve gotten the most important information off facebook, not by the website.» (Rather badly)
- The reports should have been submitted through email or similar instead of on paper.» (Rather badly)
- Good, but upadate mote often is neeeded» (Rather well)
- Very good with overhead on the web page» (Rather well)
- Some of the exercises did not hit the course page in time» (Rather well)
- Long delay between exersice hand in and returns. Especially unpractical during the last weeks with easter holiday and all.» (Rather well)
- GREREAAAAT» (Very well)
