- no exam but projects, assignments and seminars do access i have reached the goals» (?)
- There is no written exam is this course. But the grading seemed tougher than writing exam» (?)
- The final projects had kind of different degree of difficulty as i seemed, some could maybe be a bit more challanging when it comes to set up in Comsol to utilize the softwere in a larger extent. But the assignments were balanced.» (To some extent)
- There was no exam but it made us to learn lots more than having exam.» (Yes, definitely)

- But it could be distributed in a better way. Perhaps the introduction to the software could start the first day in parallel to the background theory. Then when been introduced to the first set of electrical problems during the say first two weeks, the students have time to get familiar with the problems and can ask relevant questions sooner. It will probably be more effective time spent. Rather than doing almost nothing for three weeks and then do the most important work in a few days. Also it might be a good idea to not ask for more than one task at a time from the students, since they might be engaged in other courses that also have important tasks to be done in the same time. This happened in this course for the third assignment and the mini seminar group work. Also with a better distribution of the work load maybe the final project work can be a bit more challanging and be distributed some days earlier to make deeper study possible.» (Adequate)
- But it felt good after we have done it.» (High)
