How many tries did it take you to pass the course?: One
General Information: You learn about digital inequality and digital inclusion. It ranges very far from elderly people's access to the internet to homeless people having no phones to AI benefiting and disadvantaging people.
Study Load: Very doable. It's a group assignment with just 4 people, but they do get randomized. This is just one presentation of 10 minutes and one small paper of just 3 pages.
Positive feedback: The teachers are very nice and open to questions about the assignments. The grading wasn't too harsh. Also the exam was very doable with multiple choice questions and open questions, but the open ones came from the slides.
Negative feedback: The grading of the assignments is very American which I thought is weird in a Dutch education system, since it uses A-B-C-D-E grading. So a B was between a 7-8, but if you would get B on all components you could either have a 7 or a 8, but it wasn't clear on why actually. It's mainly because the teacher is American. This was mostly confusing but not irritating.
