Positive comments:

Many examples.

Overall I found the course very interesting.

Overall: brilliant!

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A snapshot of the future.

Great mix of subjects. They are interesting and match well.

The same as previous. Guess what?

Was very interesting and absolutely not annoying.

Good idea taking a picture before having the exam :-)

Cool.

Negative comments:

It would be interesting to see a 'futuristic' ubicomp application during the module.

My only concern was that certain topics were covered only on surface making it difficult to follow for non-security ppl. A bit more time would have come in useful.

It would have been useful to have slides.

Even regular attendee have to give back the book.

I would have liked even more emphasis on cryptography, maybe more examples. Lessons 1, 2, 3 were boring, 4 very ok.

I think the introductory part on security could be cut a bit in favour of 'ubiquitous examples' of applications.

Why don't you provide us your slides? For security.

Terrible infos about BIG-BROTHERS!
