- They force students to dig into the subject, but not to have a clear overview of it.» (rather good)
- Examination reports are in general rather good but they should _always_ be followed by feedback... and results no later than 2 weeks after hand-in!» (rather good)
- They cover all important issues.» (very good)
- They systematically cover topics and students ability to grasp from the knowledge» (very good)

- proper and reasonable» (okay)
- just as decribed before, it takes me sometime to write these, but thats just up to me.» (okay)
- Okay, but too much compared to the points you could get. (at least the small ones)» (okay)
- too much in the end because of the delays, if they are handed out really early it would not be a problem. Most cannot continue working after week 8 because of new courses» (too much)
- Since there was a delay in the hand out of the subjects, the workload became heavy at the end of the course, generating some more delays for the due dates.» (too much)
- It"s just CRAZY!» (by far too much)

26. How well did the administration, handouts, handins, correction etc work?

- Too slow with giving the results. The results should have been given no later than two weeks after handin» (very poor)
- Absolutely horrible! Handouts way to late and the corrections have still not come! There should be more staff for all the students or a limit on how many students that can attend the course.» (very poor)
- Extending the deadline to after the LP had ended is totally unacceptable. If the handout is postponed the content of the course should be cut instead of postponing everything. » (very poor)
- correction, not having received it yet (25/11) is a bit slow» (very poor)
- Correcting takes way too long. Still waiting for results. If you do not have enough resources, have less handins.» (very poor)
- Total lack of feedback!! Handouts and hand-ins good» (rather poor)
- Long correction time, probably due to too many students.» (rather poor)
- they were too late, and prosponing the deadline into next quarter isn"t a good idea. When the handout was late they should have taken away one of them.» (rather poor)
- No results yet, which is quite bad...» (rather poor)
- Handouts were late wish caused some trouble in the end since we actually went over with the deadlin into the next period. The correction is taking too long. However, by doing the handi-ins, one learnt a lot.» (neutral)
- All good except correction. Would be good to know from the start when results will be available» (neutral)
- Very good for the handouts, handins and administration. What is not really acceptable is that we are still waiting for feedback on the reports starting at number 3, that was handed in more than one month and a half ago.» (rather good)
- Only what I have mentioned before, about the problem when uploading: there should be a bit better server maintainance, so that there would be not a single problem when uploading the papers.» (very good)

27. Examination report 1 - Environmental impacts

Matrisfråga

- Perhaps too much repetitive with respect to the lecture»
- Good starting (general) report»
- just hard to know what was expected as this was the first one.»
- This was the basic knowledge report thus number of possible points for it should be much higher.»

32. Examination report 6 - Final report

Matrisfråga

- Excellent Report !»
- One report every week was a lot, especially if we take into account the other courses the students have during the same period. It seemed even being too much since the feedback does not come at the same speed as we had to write the reports. One every two weeks, with perhaps a slightly longer report to write would have been better. »
- this report was much more important than the first once, but as we had done them it was easier to write this one, and more fun. This was sort of a way to show what we had learned during the whole course.»

- It covers a larger part than an exam would have.»
- 3rd one»
- Final report was the best - wlear stated task and interesting assigbmenet (broad area to think about, limite and come up with solutions)»
- learning troughout the course, needed to read materail and write about it makes, at least me, take in the information much better.»
- That they were instead of the final exam.»
- That we got the chance to use our theory and learn the studying material better. We also had the chance to use our critical thinking.»
- Good spread of topics.»
- The idea of checking knowledge.»
- Variety of subjects»
- I learnt a lot while doing them. It"s better than having an exam, because the knowledge sticks better.»
- That you get to think more on different subjects.»
- to some extent, to the target»
- give oppotunity to research the topics related to environmental transportation.»

43. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Christian Azar as a guestlecturer.»
- The way the groups was made. First, make a activity registration in the Student Portal so that all students during the first week sign up in a group Attending the course or a group Not attending the course. Then the course assistant makes the groups, thus the fuss of finding partners, and then when some are left, being asked to chose one to have in the group instead of just being assigned one. Faster correction of the examintaion reports»
- sten karlsson»
- Have a FINAL EXAM !!»

- The slides should be uploaded after the lecture»
- Lund lectures shoudl be canceled - wasting of time!»

- Corrections have to be done faster.»
- Some guest lectures on maritime field should be definitely added.»
- No late handouts. Get started directly in week one with everything. »
- Literature - it is easier to have compendium and/or book instead of necessity to look for countless articles to answer ERs.»
