Additional comments
a lot of content
best course of the year

The class had 28 students and 7 handed in feedback forms.

The numbers show that if I do this again I need to:

• establish a tighter relation with the demonstrators
• improve my spoken English
• rethink the way the evaluation is done

I am surprised by the last issue: The evaluation was done almost entirely using an automated judge and I thought that the students liked it. Maybe they wanted more MCQs and less programming assignments. Or perhaps they wanted more partial credit for partial solutions.
