Poor»1 4%
Fair»3 13%
Adequate»4 17%
Good»13 56%
Excellent»2 8%

Genomsnitt: 3.52

- Exam tested mostly learning equations and derivations by heart, not understanding. Pspice exercises are a good idea, but wait time for help and grading were appalling. Student representatives selected as an afterthought halfway through course, not as regulated at the start. No custom questions for evaluation (I"d like to have seen q"s for how pspice, tutorials, labs and lectures worked)» (Poor)
- Iam not satisfied of lectures specially the examination» (Good)
- I don"t really like the subject but it was much better than expected, thanks to Massimo and Andreas.» (Good)
- Excellent, the lectures were very good. Everything was well explained and written on the blackboard. Therefore it was easy to follow and understand what was thought. The demonstration hand outs were very good. Everything was well explained.» (Excellent)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- the P-Spice labs and demonstrations»
- all the lecturenotes should be uploaded. »
- the labs are needed to be preserved»
- the trial exams»
- there were three teachers for this course some times one was coming and at the other times another. according to me only one teacher should be theory section and one for tutorials»
- PSpice laborations»
- Using the blackboard and explaining everything slowely and carefully. You did not abuse Power Point!!!»
- everything»
- The multi-faceted approach (lectures, tutorials, pspice, labs) is in theory good, if conducted properly. Good people. Tutorial handouts.»
- The PSpice laborations.»
- Trial Exam but without -2 rule.»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Since tutorials are very important in this course, then I think we need more example exercises. The book exercises are too complicated.»
- the workload should decreased and the course could be more clearer as the operating principles of some components seems very critical they should make more understandable»
- the lectures are too simple»
- A little more focus on practical transformer design.»
- as this is a hard subject according to me teacher should not move very fast and give te basic knowlegde. the way of examination should be changed according to me»
- I would have like to had more clear lectures, I had the felling that we were jumping between one topic and another, and it was hard to catch up, for some of us it was the first contact with power electronics, and sometimes it was very hard to follow.»
- The PSpice labs. The home assignment were good, but pushing a button just to see that the curves are like in the book does not teach me much.»
- as i know from my self from the students the lecturer a little bit fast and it will be good the lecture slides are put in the web two three days before the start of the course.»
- Pspice wait time for help/grading was too long. Lab pm unclear (no info on how connections on add-in card looks - guesswork for students!) Student representatives selected at START of course. Bad exam. Tutorials were just going over the handouts - if you do handouts (which is great!!!), refer to them and show how and why you do what you do, don"t just calculate everything again. It"s not a math course!»
- Thorbjörn needs to be prepared and should stick to the subject. He knows a lot, that"s obvious, but it gets all messy for us that doesn"t know anything about converter components from the start. We have a hard time trying to understand how the current goes for normal operation, at first. »

16. Additional comments

- the teachers are good ,but they should give us some more notes,we can not remember every points that they give us in the lecture by only seeing the pictures,more explanations are needed.»
- The demonstration handouts were excellent.»
- Thanks for a good course!»
- I thought this course was going to be more fun and interesting than it was - the material was still good, but the problems distracted from the learning very much.»
