11 What has changed this year?

NoteLast year’s feedback
  • Pace of the course: too slow AND too fast
    • No real solution… BUT change of pace between Week 4 and 5.
  • Lecture content is variable
    • Now readings must be completed before each lecture.
  • Group project: too many formats
    • Data analysis is the only format.
