***Concluding remarks and suggestions:***
* The presentation can improve, these are the first courses and users who become students usually do not understand how to correctly prepare the tasks.
* At the beginning many students copy and paste content from the web, which they later paraphrase, many times this is almost blatant plagiarism, in the first task it is very noticeable and leads to the performance of very poor tasks or with plagiarism.
* Students should be encouraged to do more research.
* The questions for tasks 3, 4 and 5 are quite simple and the resulting tasks are much shorter.
* Most of the students begin to perform tasks from course number 1 and course number 3. They generally perform tasks of a somewhat poor level but with time they improve a lot.
