I am glad you like our course material. Would you be willing to share  
yours? We are always looking for improvements.

We have a set of exercises available, did you find them usable?
Would you be willing to share your exercises as well?

We currently do not share the solutions to our exercises, for two  
reasons. We find them quite easy to solve, most probably because we  
teach those exercises each year. But we also want to avoid that  
students take the easy way and just look at the solutions. From an  
educational point of view, that's something we certainly want to  
avoid. If they try the exercises themselves, they have a good  
preparation for the project they will do. (We fully realize that the  
exercise solutions can be passed on from students from earlier years,  
but that's almost unavoidable.)

With regards,
Bart
