- maybe a bit less» (Around 20 hours/week)
- I didn"t count the breaks between the lectures: for a lecture from 1 to 5pm, I counted 3hours. I may have under evaluate the personal work for the "bonus" activities, I don"t remember well because the work load was different depending on the activity, but it took me a lot of time. How can you ask if it took us 30 hours or 35 hours a week ? Is it only possible ? We don"t have only this course to study, for me I spent on this course more than 20 hours, and it is way too much... Imagine the same number of hours multiplied by two or three (for your other courses), you don"t live anymore !» (Around 25 hours/week)
- I miscalculated the times and spent to much on the projects compared to the little bonus points you got from. One example is the written issue with just 6 bonus-points» (Around 30 hours/week)

- Useful to make us understand what is multicriteria analysis, but taking a decision on something we don"t know much about, without any books or data to rely on, is a bit difficult and don"t make a lot of sense.

- The questions could have been more " challenging".» (Could have been better)
- Good idea to make us discuss on this film. But the film itself is not that instructive for our level of studies (we already knew most of the facts, and moreover, my scientific sense was sometimes hurt when e.g. some graphs without scale were presented)» (Could have been better)

- it was a bit too big, it got a bit boring with having two presentations, a bit repetative» (Could have been better)
- I learned a lot but for me, the groups were too big. Especially in the end. With such big goups it is hard to get the same amount of work for everybody and some are meeting, some are never there and also missunderstanding is happening really fast.» (Very useful)

- It would have been useful as soon as we could do something with our oly 6 points worth issues.» (Not useful at all)
- Very interesting to find information and write something on our own on a sustainability issue, and very interesting to read and correct the work of others too. Nice to have peer advice on our work. But, the issues proposed are not very related to chemical sustainability (the aim of the course, according to its title!). And, I think it was too much work comparing to the number of points given for this exercise.» (Very useful)

- Sometimes, Magdalena did simply not know the answers. That could on one hand-side follow from the complex thematic but on the other hand she could prepare better. It is poor, not to know why something is written on a slide that I use. But in total I am satisfied with the course and especially with its climate.» (Rather good)

- It was hard to get everyone together and to get everyone to do their part in time. It is better if we were allowed to choose our own groups! » (Very poorly)
- The groups were do big! It is hard to have 10 people be able to work at the same time!» (Rather poorly)
- Great to have the opportunity to work a lot in team, with different team mates each time. Great not to have the choice of the team mates and be "mixed" (regarding backgrounds) as much as possible.» (Rather well)

- Especially at the end.» (Too high)
- The activities "Sustainability semainar", "Multicriteria analysis" and "role debate" took me a lot of time to prepare (of course, it also depends on if you do it properly or not). The points given for these activities are too low in comparison. Moreover, the points you earn for all activities are not really bonus points, as you still should reach 25/50 on the written exam". I am glad I had another course which didn"t requiere me all that much homework, because I would have become crazy.» (Too high)

- To many bonuspoints for activities that dont give me much.» (No, this should be changed)
- It is great but the activities take too much time, and moreover you are still obliged to pass 50% of the written exam". » (It can be improved)
- Some points are not so ok, like only the maximum 6 points for the seminar and 20, which depend not only on you are maybe too much. But maybe it is ok as well. Here I do not really have an opinion.» (The system is OK)
