The evaluation was web-based and run via the University's central evaluation system EvaSys. A mail with a personalized link to the online evaluation form was sent by the system on Monday, January 25. Several reminders were sent. In particular, the evaluation was announced to the participants of the course in Lecture 12, slides 5-6. Students were explicitly encouraged to submit the form. Submission was anonymous.

In the following, the complete list of all comments given in the free-text fields of the evaluation are given. The comments were copied verbatim, except for a few corrections (wrt orthography, grammar, etc. ... no change of meaning). If you see a comment from yourself which you do not want to appear in this list or if you find a comment that you think was inaccurately transcribed, send an (anonymous, if you prefer) mail to Hannah Bast.

A statistic of the quantitative questions can be found in the automatically generated EvaSys report (PDF).
