15: Your suggestions for improving the course:

- earlier feedback for homeworks
- more examples on inductive proofs
- more step-by-step examples for each problem class
- clearer requirements on level of detail for problems
- more assignments
- make programming task of 3-rd assignment obligatory
- explain new symbols when introducing them
- get a new course book

 
16: Other comments:

- too many symbols sometimes, and too focused on proving
- the book doesn't show the various proof techniques very well
