- Once you understood the lay-out, the program as a whole worked fine. Deciphering the sub-programs is another matter entirely. Some comments in the ones which we need to look over in the home problem would be nice.» (Neutral)
- I wish there were more comments in the code.» (Very good)
- Easy to understand and use» (Very good)
- A little hard to get how it worked, but afterwards it were terrific» (Very good)

- I found the article about the ant navigation very hard to follow due to its technicality. Even though the content is interesting, it"s simply above our level. I wouldn"t recommended that as an obligatory reading before the exam, since you summarized it well.» (Good)
- There could be more literature on controllers and "planning" algorithms.» (Good)
- Nice that the literature are so connected to the lectures. Perhaps would be interesting to see some example of other methods for comparison with the chalmers group"s methods presented. But,also I ans see that that could be too much information to take in on the other hand. » (Very good)

- Please use pingpong or student portal instead, makes it easier for us to get all information/files» (Rather badly)
- Would be nice if the course was on pingpong, since everything else is. Otherwise I would rate the course very well» (Rather badly)
- Actually prefer that to pingpong / studentportal.» (Very well)
- All information was clearly stated.» (Very well)

- I guess more than 3.75 per period, but Since I really like the subject I could have gotten even more information and been happy» (Adequate)
- I"d say that it was reasonable. Even though the amount of work for the home problems was 4/5 of the load in Stochastic optimization algorithms, the content for the exam is only half as much, so it"s fine in my opinion.» (Adequate)
- It felt like the workload was rather high, this was mostly due to the homeproblems. It was good that there were some compulsory and some optional parts of the home problems, the you could choose workload to some extent.» (High)
- Took a lot of time doing the assignments and preparing for the exam.» (Too high)
- it is worth at least 10 credits.» (Too high)

16. Is there anything you think should be changed until next year?

17. Would you recommend this course to other students? Why?

18. Which areas do you think should be covered in more (or less) depth?

- Exploration »
- Lite mer på sensorer»
- More examples, where the answer is not 0.5, for calculating utility, when someone is indifferent would have been nice»
- Utility seemed to be very interesting but it"s understandable that it was not covered in much detail.»
- A more thorough walkthrough of the technical components of the robots could be beneficial.»
- More cutting edge algorithms for navigation, exploration and localization. Less animal behavior (maybe could be read home)»
- I think the coverage of the aereas was suitable.»
- Maybe a little deep covering of behaviour selection. Overall a very good balance.»
