先來講第一門課 Regulating Digital Technology，由本研究中心的主任Prof.mr.dr.ir. B.H.M. Custers授課，其中有部分課程由Dr. M.R. Leiser授課。

收穫度：★★★★☆
負重比：★★★★☆

本年度授課大綱點這。

Custers教授真的是很帥，可以點進他的學術網頁去看，他的發音也很好玩，會把g跟r用荷蘭文的音(就是深喉音)發出來。

而這門課非常理論，跟另外一堂課Internet Governace一樣，比較像是本學程的基礎，課程比重如下：團體報告20%、考試80%，5.5分及格。

本年度實際上授課大綱如下：

授課大綱

我自己覺得，Prof Custers上課蠻清楚的，但是我很不喜歡整個課程架構跟考試方式，可以看到明明總共20節課，就有4節課被拿去做報告，而且報告的占分比重又低。而Dr. Leiser上課我有點跟不太上他的節奏，因為投影片很多都是問號結尾，我沒辦法靠投影片確認內容實際上是甚麼。

第四週在講倫理學的時候我腦袋完全無法輸入，整個都在放空，完全聽不懂在幹嘛。

考試的時候會考名詞解釋，然後也會考純背誦，讓我非常不滿意，而且佔分80%，讓報告變得無足輕重。

可以看出至少光必讀文獻就每周至少100頁上下。

而考試題目基本上跟往年相去不遠，簡單來講就是貝多芬。我自己其實能夠接受作為基礎課程有很多理論甚至是跨領域的東西，可以看到上面一些參考書目基本上有很多重複。

然後是最後總成績的部分，我要補這塊的時候突然找不到我的筆記@@，但我記得總共56人左右應考，7人要重考，平均分數大概6.X，最高分9.3，最低分1。報告的話平均7.3，最高分8.5。

我在這科拿的分數非常低。
