     1 There was a setup error with PEP and the Evasys system, because of
       
     2 which we were only able to collect 64 responses (out of 400+ eligible
       
     3 students) this year. The submitted responses indicate that students
       
     4 were satisfied with the module.  For example more than 64% of the
       
     5 students found the pace of the lectures about right and more than 81%
       
     6 of the students found the module intellectually stimulating. Furthermore
       
     7 75% od the students we satisfied with the quality of the module, with
       
     8 another 7.8% expressing a neutral opinion. Of course we will work
       
     9 hard to maintain, and possibly even improve upon, such a favourable view.

    11 Students generally liked learning new programming languages and 
       
    12 seeing programming from a different point of view. Also students appreciated
       
    13 very much the setup of coursework and the automatic feedback via Github
       
    14 submissions. We will keep this in the future. We will also keep the two
       
    15 deadlines for the coursework in November and January for the work to
       
    16 be completed. This seems to have worked well with students (as opposed to
       
    17 weekly deadlines we had in previous years). We did not hear about any
       
    18 problems regarding the SGTs and TAs. We will keep the format of weekly
       
    19 SGTs led by an experienced TA.

    21 Some difficulties arose from the study material. We will go over the
       
    22 provided material for the next year and implement potential
       
    23 improvements.  We inherited this year the software behind the testing
       
    24 framework. We will endeavour to maintain this testing framework, which
       
    25 is a potpourri of scripts written in Perl, Bash, PhP, Python, as well
       
    26 as C++ and Scala, of course.
