Evaluation
- Organisation
In my opinion both classes and the slides were in general well structured and mostly easy to follow. - Portfolio
The idea of a portfolio is a good one, but it might have been better, not to recquire to put it on the web because if some students are not that familiar with running a website, doing HTML and so on, they may have a double work load: do all tasks and exercises for the class and simultaneously investing time to cope with constructing a web page. - Workload
Sometimes the tasks were easy, but still recquired a good amount of time, e.g. researching on the web or detailled descriptions of the macrostructure, megastructure, etc. of a particular dictionary. This is a lot of information, which also has to be sorted and written down (plus the "translation" of everything into HTML for the portfolio).
Sometimes the homework was revised in class, but sometimes it was not. I would have found it better to have a brief revision of homework on every session because it might be that someone thinks his homework to be well done, but is actually not aware of some mistakes and in the worst case only gets to know about them after making the same mistakes in the final exam.
