- The lectures were to basic. The powerpoint depictions were disturbing instead of helpful. They distracted you from focusing on learning anything at all, since they were meant to describe things that are very simple and natural to understand, like a buffer. A buffer needs no vivid description, only a Short comment on what it is and where it is used. I don"t have to get description with moving pictures and colors and metaphors and symbolicism to understand. That makes me angry and the lecture looses its purpose. There were Way to many lecturers aswell. A new one every time it felt like. The calculation exercises were awful. The guy holding them even said "will I really have to go through all of the exercises?". I was thinking - that Is the point. He didn"t quite understand the concept with him going through the exercises on the black board. He is suppost to give us helpful tips, describe how he thinks while working out the answer, talk about key elements in the questions and maybe give reading directions in the book. » (25%)

- There are two course homepages - very disturbing. The assignment descriptions were hard to interpret and could often mean one out of two different things (two-sided). The time for correction is way to long. I still haven"t got an answer from assignment 2 which was over a month ago. How will I know if I"m finished with the assignment before it"s to late to hand in a supplement?» (Rather badly)
- Very good course page!» (Very well)
