"HTML tutorials should be given to those what never studied web design before."
"Dislike - need more technical learning of HTML."
"Designing the web-site was good, but felt there should have been a crash
course on HTML as we had to learn it ourselves."
"A lecture should be given an the use of Dreamweaver/FrontPage & HTML - I didn not
feel confident in my ability to technically design my site."
"Too much theory on UI topics."
"I would like to learn more HTML. I want to learn how to design websites, but
there's no point if I don't know how to build them!"
"Not enough practical material on web design ie. Flash, Dreamweaver,
Web programming."
"I think next year a tutorial should be given an a weekly basis teaching web design
& HTML as a compliment to the course."
"The fact that HTML is self-taught. Very difficult for a business stream student
to perform as well as a technical student with this module."
"No guidance was given in how to create a website had to teach oneself."
"HTML tutorials are necessary to really appreciate the usability principles"

Lecturer quality - good and bad
"Lecturer not forceful enough while lecturing."
"The Lecturer is very enthusiastic, helpful and consciencious. Thank
you for a thorough job. One comment, the speed of the lectures could be
increased."
"The lecturer was enthusiastic, well prepared, however over simplified
and explained to the nth degree, were it was not necessary as a result
the lectures were sometimes tedious and lost attention from most of
class members, in turn disrupted the others' lecture."
Too general & lack of examples
"I felt that some of the PDF readings were more relevant to application
design in general rather than bing specific to web design"
"More examples of what the best sites look like"
"More illustrations in the notes provided"
"I felt that we didn't focus enough on actual examples and steps (what to do) on various topics."
Too repetative
"There were too much repetition in lectures, sometimes I felt we were doing the same thing week in week out"
Workload OK
"Work load and assessments were extremely fair"
"Workload is fine as are assessments."
"Workload = not too stressed so said the students!!!"
"Workload fitted in well with other subject + was proportional to the course."
"Workload is fine."
"Workload fine."
"Workload is OK."
Workload Too much
"Difficult to learn HTML and web design at the same time"
Workload Too little
"Not enough assignments."
Boring
"Some areas were boring, coming from I."
Inappropriateness of Exam
"I think it should all be continous assessment. I don't think exam is a
good idea, as subject learned is done in practical basis."
"This is the type of subjet that should be just assignment based, it
isn't necessary to have an exam thwere everything is learned by heart
in the run-up to the exam and then forgotten immediately afterwards."
Module not useful
"I didn't learn a lot in this module."
ETC.
"Well done!"
"It was very interesting"
"Module = very interesting and worthwhile"
