Reference group discussion

My impression was that we discussed the following. If you feel that this is not accurate or that I forgott something please email me.

lectures:

large variation in speed, some subjects presented quite slowly, others very fast (it is discussed if this might also be connected to which concepts students had seen before)

exercises:

the fact that there were exercises, and that we used some time in class to discuss them, was seen positive

it was suggested to have a wider variation in the difficulty, for instance one "easy" and one "hard" exercise every week, so that preferably all participants can find something challenging and solvable.
