#!/usr/bin/env python # coding: utf-8 # # # # Exercise week 47 # **November 20-24, 2023** # # Date: **Deadline is Sunday November 26 at midnight** # # Overarching aims of the exercises this week # # The exercise this week is a simple course survey and feedback. This # is important for us in order to improve our teaching material, the # active learning format and anything else related to a succesful # mastering of central machine learning methods and their applications. # ### Why did you choose this course? # ### What was your programming knowledge before you started? # # And do you feel this course added to your programming competences and skills? # ### How do you judge your own level of knowledge on machine learning before and after this course? # # Here you can discuss your level of skill/knowledge at start of course # and at the end of the course and how these matched the level of # skill/knowledge needed to complete the projects. # ### Did the projects and the teaching material allow you to deepen your insights about Machine Learning? # # Feel free to comment here. # ### Project based teaching and active learning # # This is a project based course and we as teachers would like to keep # it as it is since we see very clearly that people who attend this # course have a very good learning outcome. Project based courses are # however demanding (and expensive seen from the university admin) when # it comes to proper feedback and evaluations. Feel free to discuss # whether you found a project-based and active learning approach # useful. Feel also free to comment upon things we can improve upon or # alternative ways to assess whether the learning outcomes have been # achieved. Would you for example a standard 4 hours written exam # be something you would prefer? Or other alternatives to projects? We # would very much value your thoughts here since projects are an # essential part of this course. # ### Usefulness of the weekly exercises # # Did the weekly exercises help in getting started with the projects? # How relevant where they for solving the projects? Feel free to # elaborate # ### Active learning/lab sessions and lectures # # Was there a good link between lectures and active learning sessions? # Would you prefer an active learning environment only with no lectures # or would you prefer a more lecture based format with lab sessions only # (that is no discussion at the beginning of the lab sessions)? Feel # free to comment. # ### How would you improve this course? # # Are there topics which are missing, topics which could have been # omitted and/or discussed in more depth? Feel free to add your comments # here such as how to improve to teaching material and more. # ## Then some basic questions # ### Which is your preferred information chanel, Canvas, Discord, mail or other? # ### Was the weekly update with plans etc useful? # ### Was it easy to access the course material? # ### Which resources and tools did you use? Jupyter-notebooks, GitHub, the various textbooks we have recommended, etc etc # ### If you did not attend the lectures or the active learning/lab sessions, which resources did you use? # ### Any other topics, impressions, ideas etc you would like to share with us?
