+interesting lectures and module. Nice lecture times also
+
+Group projects are a good idea
+
+Law building lectures
+
+Clear structure, easy to find info.
+
+Everything explained very well
+
+website laying out the whole process is helpful
+
+Group work allows sharing of ideas
+
+A bit unclear on where we should be each week
+
+I like that we can be creative with the group work and Vince is a great lecturer
+
+The layout of telling us where we should be each week with our group project - very helpful for keeping on track
+
+Tom is giving me a headache with "memes"
+
+Everything is fantastic no complaints
+
+more freedom given to explore ideas
+
+I like that we know what we should be doing each week for the group project
+
+the website
+
+notebooks online is super helpful
+
+The website!!! So helpful to have worked solutions
+
+website is clear and organised
+
+creating room for discovery
+
+comfier seats
+
+The website is very helpful and the examples of previous projects are very useful
+
+"Vince's website is good and easy to navigate Vince gave an opinion on our idea which helped us decide on what to do for our project."
+
+Vince explains everything very well. What was the project about again?
+
+nice pace
+
+Website is very useful and structure is good
+
+group project working with others
+
+Clear structure- easy to know what’s expected of us in terms of progress
+
+It’s easy to find all the resources
+
+calming
+
+the outlines for where we should be
+
+Teamwork is really successful, I believe that I am understanding the module more with the group participation rather than trying to fogure it out all by myself
+
+Weekly targets for the group projec
+
+website!! (yes)
+
+Website and lecture summaries are great
+
+Website is excellent
+
+need more optimization in the course work

+Axels a great help in the projekt
+
+Vince <3
+
+Compact lectures
+
+common vince W
+
+website is very useful
+
+Vince is badass
+
+fun, enjoyable, good for learning what you want to learn
+
+Last lecture was very confusing, structure was unclear I feel
+
+Confused with the three coding places from last time
+
+It’s a 4 minute walk, not really a trek tbh
+```
+
+## Please note any features of this module that you feel have not worked well, and suggest any potential changes that might help to address these.
+
+```text
+Previous projects could be shown on learning central to look at
+
+not addressed specifically what we should complete in our group project
+
+N/A
+
+Please explain the project again!!!
+
+Law building lectures!!!!!
+
+Maybe continued tutorial slots for people to work on group work with a tutor nearby
+
+work required is a bit more overwhelming than last semester because of how open ended it is
+
+Law Building
+
+"Penblwydd hapus I ti
+
+Does ddim coach gyda fi
+
+Penblwydd hapus fy chwaer
+
+Mae angen ty Bach gyda fi"
+
+LAW BUILDING
+
+Freya
+
+N/a
+
+explains things too fast sometimes
+
+Take your hat off
+
+more photo competitions
+
+The Law building means I'm more likely to forget where we are and that's spooky
+
+TOM!
+
+don't like the idea of missing a MATHS lecture because I went to the MATHS BUILDING
+
+Back in my day lmao
+
+this semester is a bit too confusing
+
+confused on what we’re actually doing on part of the project, would like a more directed approach on what to do as i don’t like the freedom
+
+Cach ddim coach
+
+Oh shush it's the maths building
+
+There is no war in ba sing sae
+
+Some of my Society stuff is getting in the way of Fridays specifically only before you go
+
+Confused from last time, when to use the 3 different coding places
+
+Oh My god societies?? Don't get me started time management is it's own nightmare
+
+My friend Halim has to be in London Today
+
+Long. Ago there was balance between the 4 nations then the fire nation attacked
+
+Are you also a computer science lecturer
+
+Can we have tutorials back for the stuff we do in lectures
+
+Everything changed when the squirrel nation attacked
+
+Spooky
+
+if you got 80 marks on the individual, does this mean you passed the year?
+
+Obviously you can't- like- you have priorities and should keep them but it's a shame you're away for so long
+
+this semester is hard as we’ve been taught notebook all last semester and now changing to vs code and terminals
+
+Halim is doing fine
+
+I am ju-dee
+
+The coding advisor and Jupiter and terminal idk what they are
+
+Oh yeah DID NOT like jupyter notebooks AT ALL
+
+[It’s Pronounced Hal eem, but I will send him your regards]
+
+Jupyter notebooks? Ew.
+
+DO NOT DRINK THE CACTUS JUICE
+
+You've been high on cactus juice all day
+
+I'm so relieved to be in VS code or really - anything other than jupyter. Looked bad, felt awful
+
+Na
+
+I am including this comment
+
+Vs code... please re-explain
+
+more juliet lore
+
+in this course (either math or fin math), which other languages are used?
+
+could you change the vs code on your laptop to a high contrast mode
+
+```
+
+## Actions I will take
+
+- In class I'll attempt to change my vs code on my laptop.
+- I will point at the deadlines and guidelines of expectations.
+- If anyone would like to hear how Juliet and I broke up I will tell the story.
+
+# Documentation
+
+After all this I went over documentation: using the Diataxis framework
+specifically.
+
+I wrote the `README.md` file for the `tsp` library. You can find it
+[here]({{site.baseurl}}/assets/nbs/2023-2024/README.md)
+
+You can see other examples in the python for mathematics text.
