- Inledningsvis har jag tänkte skriva på svenska för att spara tid eftersom jag har många åsikter om den här väldigt dåliga kursen. Den lågt lagda tiden är för att vi knappt fick någon ledning med vad vi skulle syssla med i inledningen. Och i slutet började man hoppa föreläsningarna då de var skitdåliga.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- There were not much to read in this course since we did not have any course book. Too few calculation tasks. » (At most 15 hours/week)
- Not much to read and very hard to find any assignment to work with.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- The course teachers were weak at showing appropriate material to study and appropriate exercises to practice. Hence, I often found myself having trouble to know exactly what to do to prepare for the exam.» (Around 20 hours/week)
- Lots of revision from the recommended textbook "introduction to building physics", little of which seemed relevant in the exam.» (At least 35 hours/week)

- There was a lack of some lectures to relate structural engineering and this course. We had only one lecture about this relationship, it was very hard to understand what is the effect of heat and moisture on the mechanical behavior of structure? and what is the benefit of this course to a structural engineer?» (The goals are difficult to understand)
- Do the persons responsible for the course comprehend the goals?» (The goals are difficult to understand)
- The goals tells the same thing over and over again in different words. Most of the goals the swedish students knows from previous courses. » (The goals are difficult to understand)
- There was no guidance as to which topics would be examined and which were not related at all to the exam. I spent ALOT of time revising for this subject and it did not help in the slightest. Guidance is required to set students on the right track, and past papers/exam style questions which are true to the final exam are needed.» (The goals are difficult to understand)
- The goals doesn´,t fit the course since a great part of the course was repetition, with different lecturers talking about the same things. The parts I was hoping to see more of, time-dependense, was only dealt with in a small extent.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)

- I, as an international student, did not have the similar course in my bachelor degree, and sometimes the teachers and the information were too vague for me. For example, we had only one lecture about advanced heat transfer without any example and clarification, then we had a hard question of this case in exam. The information was mainly repetition boring for swedish students, while, they were vague for some international students. » (No, the goals are set too low)
- Jag tror medelbetyget kommer vara relativt lågt på den här tentan. Men detta beror på en dåligt gjord tenta och främst fruktansvärt dåliga lärare och föreläsningar. Jag förstår inte varför svenska studenter ska behöva läsa den här kursen. Jag har INTE LÄRT MIG NÅGONTING NYTT!» (No, the goals are set too low)
- Instead: set as goal to learn how to model 2-dimensional heat flow, i.e.» (No, the goals are set too low)
- It´,s the worst course i have ever done.» (No, the goals are set too low)
- but the cours have wrong focus! » (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- There was an apparent lack of time in the exam, and it was not an assessment of our qualities but our speed. Some tasks, specially the heat problem, was tough in the course but not exercised.» (No, not at all)
- Compare the course summary on the hand-outs to the exam, and see for yourselves.» (No, not at all)
- Det kändes som de här fem olika lärarna vi har haft alla tog var sitt tal utan att fundera på hur lång tid det faktiskt skulle ta att räkna hela tentan. Att ha en tenta med främst beräkningar i en kurs utan räkneövningar (eller räknehänvisningar bortsett från sista veckan) är också rätt komiskt.» (No, not at all)
- Tentan hade inget upplägg, omöjligt att hinna med den i tid. Förmodligen hade inte de som gjort den pratat med varandra.» (No, not at all)
- I think I passed the exam, but have not really understood what this course was about.» (To some extent)
- If you knew exactly how to do on all questions on the exam I dont think you would manage to finish it within 4 hours.» (To some extent)
- You can not have calculation tasks that tou have not had any exercise in!» (To some extent)
- The exam time was too short.I think answering such questions needed some more time.If I had more time I could answer at least 2 more parts and complete the other answers.» (To some extent)
- And probably did"nt no one reached the goals becaus no one had left the examination hall after 3h 55min. We are probably very stupid all of us! » (Yes, definitely)
- There was a lack of time during the examination. Even if you were able to answer all questions you did not have enough time to answer them.» (Yes, definitely)
- I think it will be better if there are several small dogas during the lecture. » (Yes, definitely)

- The cours started with some repetition and after that some summerising of the repetition!» (Small extent)
- All lectures on slides and not much extra in class.» (Small extent)
- The tragical part of the course was some lectures. There were some lectures that the teacher could not answer the questions, and he was not prepared at all. Specially, there were some mistakes in some lectures which eliminated afterward in the homepage, but they did confuse the students. There was an exercise which has been solved in a wrong way in the lecture, and it eliminated only 2 days before exam, while, the exercise was very similar to one of the tasks in the exam. Most of lectures have been prepared by Anders, but presented by other teachers,while, they were not familiar with them. Some of the exercises were prepared by person and presented by another person who could not answer the students" questions.» (Small extent)
- It seams that the teachers always comes unprepared. Espacially Ingemar Segerholm. His lectures didnt give anything at all. Because of the amount of teachers, slides in the powerpoints often where re-used.» (Small extent)
- There is no reason to put lectures in the scedule, when there is nothing to lecture on. If the teacher has not done the lecture-slides him/her-self (!!!), the least he/she could do is to prepare the presentation.» (Small extent)
- För det första så borde Anders Lindvall som var ansvarig för den här kursen ALDRIG få ett sådant ansvar igen. Jag har aldrig träffat en lärare som visat så lite engagemang för sin kurs tidigare. Exempel: När vi redovisade våra projektarbeten så satt han i salen, längst fram så man såg honom när man redovisa, och läste något helt annant istället för att lyssna. När de andra lärarna fråga honom vad han tyckte svara han med ett kort "Jag håller med". Jag hoppas att ansvaret på den här kursen läggs på någon annan till nästa år. För det andra, Ingemar Segerholm. Jag vet inte om det är dåligt självförtroende som gör honom till en så dålig föreläsare, men något är det. En föreläsare som honom gör att jag faktiskt ser lägre på Chalmers som teknisk högskola. Det första han skulle kunna göra är att skriva sina egna jävla powerpoints! Istället för att komma med en powerpoint skriven av Lindvall, inleda med "det här är inte mitt område", och sen bara läsa rakt av. Hans föreläsningar (som var rätt många) var ett slöseri med allas tid. Och jag tror han märkte av det i slutet av perioden. Avslutningsvis så var strukturen på kursen jättedålig. Alla lärarna snackade om olika saker som var svåra att se en röd tråd i. När två lärare väl snackade om samma område hade de inte snackat med varandra och undervisade samma sak med samma grafer!» (Small extent)
- A bit messy. Plus a lot of the times it seems like the teacher sees the presentation for the first time as well. So it"s mostly somebody reading the slides, and just to have them read I prefer to do that on my own at home.» (Small extent)
- They had vacation during the time all students studied for the exam and had questions.» (Small extent)
- I am deeply disappointed.» (Small extent)
- sorry but its true» (Small extent)
- Lektionerna har endast lett till större förvirring och de saknar helt samanhang.» (Small extent)
- The lecturers should be more prepared before the lecture. Presentations should be done by the person giving the lecture. The "red thread" get lost when someone else gives the lectue.» (Some extent)

- Nothing concerning this on the examination, the guest lectures where to wide. Could be more narrow in subject and have more relevant content. It"s always interesting to hear about mould and fungi, but it would be good to have some connection with the ordinary lectures.» (Small extent)
- Couldnt really distinguish between guest lectures and lectures when we had like 5 different teachers during one week, all going throw the same thing again.» (Small extent)
- Don"t even remember them» (Small extent)

- Exercises? :)» (Small extent)
- Would have been of better help to get the answers and study it yourself, but they couldnt give it out because they didnt had time to translate the solutions to english. Maybe not that good prepared!» (Small extent)
- One of the problems with this course has been the lack of exercises. In order to fully understand something exercises are crusual, where students get the opportunity to discuss and calculate problems under the supervision of teachers. This course hasn´,t used that kind of tutoring at all.» (Small extent)
- very few exercises, and only at the end of the course...» (Small extent)
- Exempel som alltid innehåller något fel, i uppgift eller lösning är värdelösa.» (Small extent)
- We could have done more exercises though. And maybe they could have been done a bit clearer. » (Large extent)
- No examples of solutions, so this was the only chance to find out how to solve the exercises. Good with more examples with solutions and example of examination.» (Large extent)
- Since we didnt get any old exames to study on the exercises was all I had...» (Large extent)
- except the last one.. That was not very helpful» (Large extent)
- Since there where not so many tasks with correct solutions, we could only learn from the exercise.» (Great extent)

- The project was not serious at all, we did only some obvious tasks and then presented them. Most of the part of the project was related to computer software and it could not help us to realize what we do. » (Small extent)

- I think about 80% of the course was repetition from earlier courses. I don"t think this course should be compulsory, It might be good for students from other countries to read it, but Swedish students already have this knowledge....» (Poor)
- As I can remember, the worst course ever. It seams like nothing was new to lears, the teachers didnt like the course eather and was not helpful. And we didnt got solved solutions to old exams because of lack of time and they said it would be to easy if whe have the solutions. Isnt the goal to learn us??!!» (Poor)
- I think it"s to many people involved and no comunication between them. Because they show up at lesson and don"t seem aware of what we have done until now.» (Poor)
- Definitly the worst course i have read during my 3,5 years here. I cant believe this course is mandatory. I get the impression that the examinator doesnt relly care about the course and would rather not have the course at all. » (Poor)
- Skip the course to next year» (Poor)
- One of the worst courses I"ve taken during my studies at Chalmers.» (Poor)
- Skit kurs med dåliga föreläsare och ycket dålig examinator. Skäms för att någon utbytesstudent ska behöva se e så dålig kurs på chalmers.» (Poor)
- Better information had done this course much better. The coordinator of the course did not take his full responsibility.» (Fair)
- Not much new knowledge. Gives some more understanding of the mechanisms of heat and moisture transfer.» (Fair)
- A lot of repetition for us from sweden» (Fair)
- See above» (Adequate)
- interesting course, but i focused on FE, to pass that one» (Good)

- Becaus I didn"t learn somthing new! » (Very small)
- Non-existing. » (Very small)
- I have choosen structural engeneering» (Very small)
- As a swedish student I don´,t unuderstand why I have to read building physics im my earlier years, if it´,s enough for the exchange student´,s to start with a repetition in this course and then quickly move on from there. If thats the case there should be no problem to shut down one of these courses.» (Very small)
- Kommer inte ta med denna kurs i min examen, om jag så skulle behöva ta ut en allmänexamen. » (Very small)
- I"m not sure about the application of it in my future career because this is a rather new topic for me.» (Rather small)
- The 20% that was new info was very important, I think 2 weeks is more than enough to learn that part.» (Rahter high)
- Not my field but the course containged stuff important for me to know.» (Rahter high)
- is it posible to seperate the course to heat for students who want to study building performence and moisture for structural engineering.» (Rahter high)

25. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The design project could be preserved. Some of Angelas part of the course.»
- NOTHING!»
- See above»
- :)»
- The project work.»
- ...»
- Tang"s lectures.»
- Lecture on building moisture safe techniques.»
- I really have a hard time to find anything good about this course. »
- nothing»
- nealy all.»
- everything»
- I honestly don´,t know.»
- The project»
- The assignments. Even if the last one should be changed.»
- Finns inget gott att säga.»

26. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- There must be much better course litterature, at least a compendium like that which Angela did. Powerpoint slides are not adequate!!!»
- EVERYTHING»
- See above»
- 1)Number of teacher should be reduced. 2)More exercise rather than too much lecture. 3)reducing the number of exam question or increasing the exam"s time. 4)Adding some lectures about the interaction of structural engineering and this course. For example, a guest lecturer who has worked in both fields in industry. »
- It would be best to have only one teacher, or to make them communicate better. They should always come prepared.»
- Teachers, get rid of that defensive attitude. Narrow down the number of teachers (less chance they blame things on each other)»
- The information..»
- The leactures and more exercises»
- Ta bort Ingemar från föreläsning och sätt någon som bryr sig om kursen som ansvarig.»
- Organisation. More exercises (in an organised way).»
- There has to be created a clear focus on what the course should teach.»
- Project work, more content, more narrow task. Lab, bigger laboration report Computer lab, more "show and test" Lectures, less repetition and more on techiques to build moisture safe and on understanding the flow mechanisms»
- The examinator, the organisation, the preporations for the course has to be better, the soultions to exercises has to be translated to english. The repetition part of the course(almost hole course) has to be replaced by new material. I dont understand why swedish students should have repetition of old material for 4 weeks?»
- everything»
- exercise is important for student to understand real problem. small dogas will help them.»
- less involved teachers, better and more clear instructions on the web page and from the teachers. Better litterature that we can use and learn from instead of just guessing what they mean. More examples with sulotions so we can learn and understand the problem.»
- more exercises and consultations»
- more exercises since the exam is only calculations. More examples with correct solutions. The possibility to calculate old exams.»
- I think it"s better to make this course optional for structural engineering students.I really do not have a good impression of it mainly because of its final exam.»
- Consider shutting down the course.»
- structure in pdf-files, feels like the teachers dont know what the other teachers present..»
- Access to all the exercises earlier»
- The project work.. Im insisting on that you take away that part of the course to next period. The way its constructed now doesnt give any real connection to the course. Only extra workload which this course definitely NOT is in the need for. »
- the course»
- better administration. Also it is easier to follow along with not too many teachers giving lectures. »
- A (better) structure of the course which the students can follow and thus be organized in their learning.»
- Gör kursen valbar eller stryk den helt.»
- The whole course? Why is it compulsory?»

27. Additional comments

- There was too much rudundancy in the lectures. Different lecurers could talk for hours about almost the same thing. There was also too much overlapping of the "byggnadsfysik"-course from the bachelor. I belive that you could actually pass the exam with just the knowledge from the basic course, which means that you haven"t really learnt that much during this course.»
- See above»
- Waste of time, money and effort. »
- Det här är den sämsta kursen jag läst under hela min tid på chalmers. Något måste göras..»
- Two ways the couse can develop. 1. More tecnical knowledge, ways to build it practically. 2. More understanding of basic transfer mechanisms.»
- I belive 3 out of 4 courses during this autumn in Structural Engineering program first year was not good. Only FEM Basics was good. I am disappointed.»
- The course should be optional»
- Useless course»
- I spent most of my time on FEM like other students,but at the same time I had to get along with a completely new subjects in heat and moisture course while half of my classmates at least had some background of it,and at the end the final exam really made me disappointed.»
- I know that I´,m being really harsh in my comments, but this course has been frustrating. I´,m very disappointed, and I want you to take my comments serious.»
