Kurset ble første gang tilbudt i 2007 og fortsatte tom. 2018 da det ble midlertidig tatt ut av fagporteføljen. Det var 25 studenter som var påmeldt til eksamen høsten 2023, hvorav 21 møtte opp. Sammenlignet med den forrige perioden var tallet noe lavere. En sannsynlig årsak er at kurset ble annonsert litt sent våren 2023. Derfor ventes det litt større deltakelse kommende semester. Med unntak av en student, var alle studentene utlendinger. Aktiviteten i timene var bra, både når det gjaldt å stille spørsmål og delta i diskusjoner knyttet til temaene som det ble forelest over. Sammenlignet med tidligere år ble det lagt litt mer vekt på oppgaver og fagrelevante diskusjoner i forelesningene. Det foregikk ved at studentene ble anbefalt å forberede seg på oppgaver knyttet til forrige ukes forelesning. Dette ble det gitt positive tilbakemeldinger på fra studentene. Dessverre ble det litt knapt med tid til denne aktiviteten de siste forelesningene, noe som vil bli tatt hensyn til i undervisningen kommende høst.

Karakterfordelingen viste at 62% hadde karakteren C eller bedre, mens 19% strøk. Dette viser at at majoriteten av studentene hadde bra læringsutbytte av faget. De faglige disksjonene i timene, samt studentenes aktive deltakelse i undervisningen etterlot det samme inntrykket.
