- I"ve attented all lectures, calculated all the tasks and done all old examinations. I kept up with the lectures in time, and yet the examination didn"t go well at all. I think this was because the examination contained numerous questions that never had been mentioned in any task, lecture or previous examination before.» (No, not at all)
- Some of the questions were reasonable but some were what I and many others feel, a lot away from what has been the main focus of the course. One of the 8p questions were a combination of blocking and replicates, something we never at all practiced and none of the excersizes handled. This is wrong, ok that there should be hard wuestions on an exam but the majority of the questions should at least be about the major focus of the course education, which I strongly feel is not the case! I am quite positive that I passed the exam but I dont think that it was a fair and relevant exam in the perspective of the main focus of the corse!» (To some extent)
- The exam was a bit odd comparing to older theses. It was sometimes hard to understand what really was the question even when asking.» (To some extent)
- Tentan testade målen men jag anser att tentan är svårare och innefattar mer än målen.» (To some extent)
- Many of the exam exercises were to large which made the time of thinking and understanding exercises none. It should not be the one that does the calculations on the shortest time that gets the most pionts, but it felt like that when you had done the exam.» (To some extent)
- There was one task on the exam that we hadn"t done before and I don"t think we should need to learn new things on the exam.» (To some extent)
- I was disapointed that the exam tasks focused on areas that had little or no emphasis at all on during the course. » (To some extent)
- the exammination was hard.» (To some extent)
- It was too big, five hours should be enough but it wasn"t. » (To some extent)
- Examination had many specialcases rather than the general cases, this was a supprice.» (To some extent)
- I think the exam was to big. More time or smaller exam is my recomend to next year» (To some extent)
- Somewhat, Though several questions with mixed problems that we had never seen before and the examples in the book gave ambigous solutions. Also, the focus of the exercises we were supposed to do did not cohere with the focus of the exam and the lectures!!» (To some extent)
- some of the questions on the exam, I felt could be enterpent in different ways, so the questions could have been a bit clearer.» (To some extent)
- The examination dit not correspond to the course as a whole.» (To some extent)
- I seems like the author of the exam just by random took a chapter from course book and asked a question about it, So the exercises and lectures dident reflect the examination. » (To some extent)
- Eximinationen använde delar som vi inte tagits upp i föreläsningarna, speglade inte kursinnehållet korrekt! Annars en bra tenta» (To some extent)

- Det är inget fel på Claes som föreläsare men det är inte tillräckligt för att kunna lösa övningsuppgifterna samt för att klara tentan.» (Adequate)
- More examples, just showing formulas does not help in understanding them. It is when you are shown how to use them you can understand them.» (Adequate)
- Powerpoint is hard to follow but i can understand why he has them.» (Adequate)
- He teaches at an acceptable pace and the notes are easy to understand» (Good)
- He do the regular error with power points - too much information, too fast.» (Good)
- clear content, but could be better planed in order not to rush through the second part of the lecture because of lack of time» (Good)
- Very good lextures that clearified som things in the book that was hard to understand» (Good)
- I think the lectures were really good. Its a pity though that the connection between Claes and Jan(who made the tasks and examination) was very bad. Jan didn"t seem to know the subjects mentioned in the lectures, and this led to an examination filled with questions that weren"t mentioned anywhere before. Basically it felt like anything that was mentioned in the coursebook could come on the examination, since Jan didn"t know what was mentioned during the examination. It didn"t really matter if you had attended previous lectures, calculated tasks and so on since something completely different could come on the examination. » (Good)
- I am truely honoured to have had lectures hold by professor Claes Niklasson.» (Excellent)
- Great lecturer, speaks loud and clear. Easy to understand.» (Excellent)

- Känns lite märkligt när det kommer in en föreläsare och håller en föreläsning. Hade varit bättre om Claes höll i alla föreläsningar. Det blir mer sammanhängande då.» (Fair)
- It would be better to include some calculation examples in the lecture. » (Good)
- Only had one lecture, could have been more.» (Good)
- The best lecture, it was not as fast as the other ones. » (Good)

- The mvda part was in general totaly unmotiveted and wrong implemented. Eng did not even got a proper chance to do a good work.» (Fair)
- The materials given are slightly difficult to be understand. Might need to allocate more time to teach this part of the course (multi variate data analysis)» (Adequate)
- Helt okej men kändes inte som att de gav så mycket. Vid projektet användes tidigare öcningar som inlärning mer än föreläsningarna för min del.» (Adequate)
- A more efficient way to understand MVDA is through MVDA project. » (Good)
- Mattias did a good job, he is pedagogic and also corrected our reports good.» (Good)

- Some were very good some not as good.» (Fair)
- Ofta fungerade detta mycket bra, i och med att kursmaterialet är på engelska.» (Adequate)
- Claes, Carl och Matthias klarade det bra men Rodmar var ingen hit.» (Adequate)
- Hard to set a average grade due to large difference in english knowledge. Would like to avoid mentioning teachers but it is obvious that Jan rodmar has a lower grade of english and he haft to speak up found it extremely hard to hear him. This is unfortunate with regards to his extensive knowledge.» (Adequate)
- Claes was really good. Rodmar was not that good unfortunatly.» (Adequate)
- With the exception of Jan Rodmar.» (Adequate)
- The teachings of excersizes by Jan Rodmar in english is maybe not super good. » (Good)
- Good expect for the exercise teacher. He should be exchanged» (Good)
- Different between teachers. » (Good)
- Difficult to give a general grade since all but Rodmar(who I didn"t understand a word of) were very clear in english.» (Good)
- It was a bit hard to hear what our exercise teacher was saying. I think it would have been enough to get the solutions on paper. Because he was very good when you asked him in person.» (Good)
- It was difficult to hear what Rådmar was saying.» (Good)
- all but rodmar excellent» (Good)
- If you don"t include Rodmar... half of the words he says are in swedish and the other half you cant hear. (you almost cant hear the swedish words either)» (Excellent)

- Same as before, the examination did not reflect the subjects mentioned in the lectures very well, compared to previous examinations. » (Some extent)
- The book is not very well written, doesn"t explain why you should do it a certain way, sometimes hard to follow what they mean and very poor explaination of the theory.» (Some extent)

- You cant hear a thing and you cant see what he wrights. » (Poor)
- After the first session I could not bring myself to attend another due to poor english and presentation skills from teacher.» (Poor)
- Jan shouln"t teach this course. You cant hear what he"s saying or what he"s writing» (Poor)
- It"s very hard to see what Rodmar writes and about impossible to hear since his English is half-way between Swedish and English.» (Poor)
- Rodmar is a very good teacher when he speaks swedish but it"s hard to understand him in english.» (Fair)
- Jan is a very good teacher and good at explaining. Unfortunately a lot of us students had a hard time hearing him during tutorials.» (Fair)
- More tutorials could be conducted to ease the understanding of the course» (Adequate)
- Its to time consuming when Rodmar write everything down on the blackboard that is important because many has a hard time to understand what hi is saying. It feels like time is not enough and that we miss out on some of the examples, or at least we miss out on how many examples we could have gotten teachings about in the same amount of time. » (Adequate)
- We had Jan Rodmar and it was quite difficult to hear/understand what he said during the tutorials. He was good when you talked to him one on one but when he talked infront of the whole class it was frustrating not to understand what he was saying.» (Adequate)
- Det höll inte samma nivå som tentan. Det är är den största bristen i kursen: man ges ingen möjlighet att träna på uppgifter som ligger på samma nivå som tentan. För mig är det oförståligt. » (Adequate)
- It was really hard to hear and understand what Rodmar said during the tutorials. » (Adequate)
- Jan have to speak up, the content is good but it is often hard to hear what he says and he often lagg behind schedual making it hard to keep up som times» (Adequate)
- It was sometimes hard to understand as Jan Rodmar did not really speak out loud. Apart from this he was great at explaining his calculations. He did better in swedish.» (Good)
- Carl Johan Franzen could have talked a bit louder» (Good)
- Problemet är att det förs på engelska, och då läraren inte har de bästa kunskaperna i det området faller något av informationen bort.» (Good)

- Det är ganska rörigt. För att underlätta studenterna sökande efter viss information som lagt upp på hemsidan hade det varit bra att använda sig av mappar.» (Rather badly)
- I couldn"t attend to all of the classes and tried to print out the handouts on my own but they were to big fore the printers at school. If i removed all pictures from the pages i coud prin but, since almost all the information is in the pictures there weren"t much information left after doing this. §» (Rather badly)

- Totaly uselsess. It did not fit in the course at all and felt just unnecessary. Please if you want to implement this part in the cource, do it propertly, now we just got a step to step manual and a computer program to work with. The theory is unclear, the goal with this part is unclear and I still dont understand the main idea of the project. A tip for next year is to have mvda analysis as a part of the course the first three weeks and start the optimization project in week four then we have the theory for it. But most imortant, make it feel as a part of the course.» (Poor)
- It was hard to get the connection to the other parts in the course. It was also a hard deadline to have the hand in for the final report friday when the project started monday the same week.» (Fair)
- I felt that the MVDA-part of this course taught me more about the program SIMCA-P than it did the method of MVDA.» (Fair)
- Man hann inte lära sig jättemycket men det var roligt.» (Adequate)
- It was such a short project and part of the course but yes, the basics of MVDA was understood.» (Adequate)
- I think it was too late to start with it lv. 4 or when it was because the report was due in lv.6 so it felt really close to the examinationweek.» (Adequate)
- Good project. It was however a tough task for Matthias to try to help us all during the project hours. Perhaps another assistant would be a good idea.» (Adequate)
- By doing the project, the basic knowledge of MVDA can be obtained. More time might be needed to explore a bigger portion of MVDA theory» (Good)
- The project is a must since it helps me in understanding this subject. » (Good)
- fun project to learn more of what you can do with statistics.» (Good)
- I liked that you got to use a statistical software, and the project was good. Not to hard to understand which gave ypu more time on focusing on how the software worked.» (Good)

- Det är ofattbart att ha en räknekurs där det inte ges en enda räknestuga. Det fungar inte att ha rester på 15 minuter som enda tillfälle för 60 studenter att ställa frågor.» (Very poor)
- Man borde ha utsatt tid, typ "räknestuga" så man kan gå dit å räkna och få hjälp. Det fanns ingen tid på räkneövningarna för frågor. å sen när man gick och fråga jan var han antingen inte där eller så var han rätt otrevlig» (Very poor)
- There was no specific time for this, an idea, since Rodmar shouldn"t be teaching in english in full class, is to have him consultation where students can ask questions individually.» (Rather poor)
- would have like to have som kind of question time.» (Rather good)
- Jan Rodmar was really good at explaining things when you ask him in person.» (Very good)
- Rhodmar is great at answering questions and seems always eager to help» (Very good)
- Outside the computer exercises I did not seek help. During the Optimization project the opportunities were good and we didn"t have to wait for to long. During the MVDA-exercises, the waiting for help was tedious. It was to much for only one instructor. » (I did not seek help)

- I think the course was really fun and I enjoyed it. I think that the lectures were good, the calculation excercises were good in order to solve the questions. BUT i"m a really disappointed with the examination, since it contained so many new moments. :)Nothing personal, it"s just that I expected to perform well! » (Fair)
- Need solutions would facilitate the course and increase how mutch you learn» (Adequate)
- some parts were really good but some parts are were really poor so the total sum is just adequate.» (Adequate)
- Mycket rolig kurs!» (Good)
- For the next time it would really be nice if just not SOME of the students got access to a full and good swedish compendia of solved examples. It reached me 5 days before the exam but apperantly some student got hold of it from a teacher already in the first weeks. This would have increased my study-efficience by really lot and is really not ok that it is handed out to a few students who have the guts to ask for it! Hand it out to everyone or noone, its not fair that some student should have an easier and better teachings than others.» (Good)
- Easy to see the applications thanks to the project.» (Good)
- It turned out to be a fun and interesting course, which I did not think it would be. » (Good)
- This course really lightened an interest in statistical engineering! Great job!» (Excellent)
