Most repeated request: Students want assessment preparation to align more closely with the exam. They asked for more exam-like questions, additional practice exams or study guides, clearer exam outlines, and targeted review of commonly missed ideas.
Exam format: Several students objected to the difficulty or wording of the first exam, especially open-ended questions and writing code on paper.
Workload and pacing: A few responses described homework as lengthy relative to its weight, preparation materials as too numerous, or the combined lab and homework load as limiting time to consolidate learning.
Instructional suggestions: Two students suggested strengthening the connection between lecture explanations and hands-on coding.
