What did you like most about this course?
Jeg liker læreren best. Margareth er veldig engasjert og forklarer ting veldig tydelig. Hun bruker forskjellige metoder i undervisningen, for eksempel: sanger, kahoot og escape room spiller. Jeg tror kursset er gøy og interessant.
What didn't you like about this course?
Jeg liker ikke at vi noen ganger går for fort gjennom grammatikken. Vi har ikke alltid nok tid til å øve. Det er mye informasjon, og kanskje fire måneder ikke er nok tid. Også i kursmateriellet det er litt vanskelig å høre hva som blir i lytt oppgavene.
How was this course useful for you?
Kurset hjulpet meg å lære nye ord og uttrykk. Jeg forstår mer når jeg lytter, men det er veldig vanskelig for meg å snakke.

The instructor is a lovely woman whom has an inviting demeanor.
What didn't you like about this course?
While Sidsel is a lovely instructor, she has poor time management and organization. Lessons do not follow the daily lesson plan stipulated in the Lingu calendar, making it difficult to be prepared for each class. She uses Samaneh’s Journey Self Study as our in-class material which means the majority of the PDF files are not gone over in their entirety.
How was this course useful for you?
It does get me thinking about topics in more depth and thus learn to express myself more in Norwegian.

The online content
What didn't you like about this course?
The live sessions with Ingrid are not effective as it doesn't feel like she knows how to teach. She talks more than she listens, and she talks so quickly that it generally feels like she is waffling away in Norwegian and nobody understands what she's saying.
She doesn't explain things properly and if asked to explain something she struggles to do so coherently, sometimes answering the wrong question and other times just repeating examples without really explaining the reasoning.
We are there to learn Norwegian, but occasionally have to ask questions in English because we don't know how to ask in Norwegian. She responds in Norwegian because she cannot explain in English, which isn't helpful because if we can't ask the question in Norwegian we are unlikely to understand the answer in Norwegian. This is still only B1, and our vocabulary is not at the level needed for everything to be in Norwegian, so there needs to be more balance.
Overall I find the sessions really frustrating, and from discussion with other students I know this is a common view.
The course was originally supposed to be with Solveig Rystad, and from the few sessions I had with her, she seemed like a much more experienced teacher with a better teaching style.How was this course useful for you?
The online material allows me to learn what the teacher cannot teach.

What did you like most about this course?
It was not tiring and we had time to speak. Also the texts had really good daily usages.
What didn't you like about this course?
There could be more grammar; f.eks. what time clauses or expressions we use with past tense, or little bit more daily situations (at a store or pharmacy, etc.)
How was this course useful for you?
i get to learn more words and usages, some very important nuances and also new people. I also get little bit more familiar with the way people from Bergen or Stavanger speak :)
