The session went by repeatedly getting a problem and some time to think about it before the solution was presented by the teacher. I think the time to think about the problems was too short to solve them, but often the problems were too difficult to be solved in class anyway. Nevertheless problems presented unique and interesting techniques (which were then part of the exam).
He was definitely the most energetic person in the room which is particularly important on Thursday evening.

Dr. Shaul was pretty good, he sent lecture notes every week that were well written and exactly matched the lectures. He seems to enjoy the subject, and I think his presentation is good.
Quite swift in his lectures, but his enthusiasm is awesome. Every week we got a PDF's with his lecture notes. Those were very well written in my opinion.
The pace of the lecture was too fast, it was almost impossible to take notes while also following what is being said. That wouldnt be a problem if the lecture notes weren't full of typos and badly formated. There was a written exam consisting of exercises (some of which appeared in the practicals or in the homeworks) instead of the more typical definitions, theorems and proofs so it didn't really test anything from the lecture itself. On the other hand it wasn't marked very strictly.
Látka byla přenášena velmi rychle a bylo obtížné stíhat si zapisovat. Vyučující sice posílal po hodině pdf s textem přednášky, ale ten text byl jednolitý a nebyl konzistentní font, jakým se zničili lemmata a definice, tedy se v tom trochu hůře orientovalo.
Zkouška je písemná a zkouší se příklady a ne důkazy, což mi přišlo také nepříjemné.
The notes really saved this practical, I didn't have any energy this late in the evening. Even though I didn't go in person, reading the notes later was enough to understand everything and to do the homework.
I did really enjoy the subject as I find it very important for further studies but I would appreciate it if it was split into two courses as the amount of material was very vast,
Good lecture notes, without them it would be much harder. This course was definitely the most extensive this semester. Maybe it is possible to leave out a little bit of this course and mark the exam more harshly. This way lots of students do not remember/understand some chapters but the exam is so easy one can get through by just reading the exercise notes.

The lecture was well put together, although the pacing was quite fast. The practicals are just another lecture, although students are given some time to think about the problem, which I found pretty nice. Two things I found weird: first, we didn't get any feedback on the homework (before getting the final grade I wasn't sure dr. Shaul even received it) and we could only do the exam on the very first or very last week of the exam period (understandable, but something to look out for.) Some of the course is just repeating what you should know from other courses (basic category theory, and Nullstellensatz from Introduction to Commutative Algebra), but if all the material was new for you, I can imagine it could be pretty menacing.
Věřím, že předmět má potenciál být zajímavý, ovšem tím, jak je aktuálně strukturovaný, studenty spíše přesvědčuje o opaku. Konec přednášky je úplně odtržený od zbytku a obecně množství probrané látky absolutně neodpovídá hodinové dotaci. Obecně přednáška působí zmateně, čemuž nepomáhají ani poznámky z přednášky, které nemají žádnou strukturu ani formátování.
