Evaluation (and notes for next time)
Some notes based on this year's experiences.
General
- Practicals were perceived as being harder than the lectures.
- Would be good to have the material finished and up on the website a bit earlier. Students will look there before the course.
- Students really liked that there were enough (usually around 4) teachers during the practicals.
- Some students say they would have liked at least 3 days.
- Some students say they would have liked more interactive lectures with some live demos.
SSH practical
- Having one of the laptops as remote host worked fine, especially showing
watch 'who | wc -l; tree'
on the beamer was nice. - On eduroam, different institutions appear to be on different subnets, so not any laptop could see any other laptop.
- Create a separate user on the 'remote host' and change its hostname. The open terminals are very confusing otherwise (no difference between local and remote shells).
