Quiz 2 (Apr 2003) Fun Question
==============================

  Here's what you told me about the topic in the course that
  you dislike the most. 
  Thanks for your input -- all of you have 1 free Quiz point.
  I will make some adjustments to the course schedule
  based on these feedback.


Algorithms                (7)
-----------------------------
  * recursive algorithms
  * algorithm
  * recursion
  * on algorithms (eg: the turing machine) it is 
      somewhat too theoretical
  * order of magnitudes! Never like complexity
  * algorithms --> too tedious
  * algorithms!


Theory                    (6)
-----------------------------
  * theory, too theoretical
  * theory
  * theory. I can't for the life of me make sense of the proof
      for the halting program being unsolvable. ;-b
  * computation theory, simulation and abstraction (that's three topics!)
  * theory: the theory-heavy, highly abstract content is boring
  * theory


Modelling                 (4+1)
-----------------------------
  * Modelling
  * simulation
  * simulation (restaurant, car race, etc)
  * simulation


Database                  (3)
-----------------------------
  * database
  * database --> tedious and confusing!
  * database because it is difficult to tell which method/operation
      is the most efficient and justifying involves a lot of 
      calculations and based on many assumptions.


Virtual Machines          (2)
-----------------------------
  * virtual machines
  * virtual machines


Hardware                  (2)
-----------------------------
  * all topics are interesting, but if a choice is to be made
      it would be hardware
  * boolean logic (hardware)


Abstraction/Specification (1+1)
-----------------------------
  * abstraction/specification, because do not really understand


AI                        (1)
-----------------------------
  * it is AI because it is quite complicated to understand


Network                   (1)
-----------------------------
  * Networking, especially the areas on network bandwidth


Computer & Society        (1)
-----------------------------
  * computer and society


Miscellaneous             (4)
-----------------------------
 * Such topic does not exist
 * None. All the topcs are pretty interesting.
 * Sorry I did not understand the rationale, but my initial thoughts
     of the term paper were 20-25 pages! 20% only! Well, guess I'll 
     understand by the time I complete the module. Thanks.... :-)
  * The bulk of the work was only assigned towards the end of the
     semester, albeit unavoidably; but could be improved so studetns
     have more time.
