- To me it feels like we are doing too many things it too general level. I mean - I would prefer to focus more on some parts and take it more deeply than doing all parts but not thoroughly enough. But as clear overview of these three topisc, it was perfect.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- To many tasks so did not have time to calculate all of them. Reduce the number of task or make them smaller. » (To some extent)
- Think there could have been a really basic task. I know a lot of people felt all tasks, even the first two, had a little twist.» (Yes, definitely)
- the FEM project» (Yes, definitely)

- solving examples on lectures was great. but sometimes 4 hours of examples were quite exhausting :-D » (Large extent)
- Björn is a really good lecturer. Great to mix theory and practicing tasks. Only problem i there is a bit too many tasks, it covered everything but was sometimes har to keep up after many hours. The project teaching could be improved, a ot of focus was put on technicalities were I would have needed understanding the concept more. » (Great extent)
- The lectures were really great!!» (Great extent)

- I almost did not use the compendia. It wasn"t needed (only 2 or 3 formulas for long term effects on the exam) and I regret buying it.» (Small extent)
- good books» (Large extent)
- Great course books. Really helpful.» (Great extent)

- More consultation time for the project» (Rather good)
- Really good from Björn. Always very helpful. A bit hard to get answes from Mario and Hamid, took them long to answer e-mails and it was to crowded on project sessions. » (Very good)

- good with that Björn distributed the examples on paper. Easy to follow. Could be good though the make some sort of booklet of all the examples. » (Very well)

- More computers are needed to the project and maybee two booked computer halls for the project time» (Some extent)
- As always, it"s hard to find computers in the V-building and since we needed Abaqus to do the project we had to use the computers there. Next year,book two rooms for the project session instead of one!!!» (Some extent)
- The computer rooms are too small for the big group of students.» (Some extent)
- There was to few computer rooms available at the computer labs.» (Some extent)
- not been able to find a computer for the FEM project a lot of times» (Some extent)

- since the project was quite big and also interesting. And the other course was Geotechnics, which was super boring and did not have any homeworks or projects» (60-80%)

- quite high since there was both the dugga and the project during the course. » (High)
- I did not have the time to work on examples by my self. Project work and dugga took to much time and there was little space in my schedule to find sufficient time to work on my own. My other course hade a very similar schedule and deadlines with projects and dugga as well. » (Too high)

- I will probably use the strip as well as the strut and tie methods in order to understand and discuss structures in the future. The pre-stressed part was hard to get the grip of since it mostly consist of rules and numbers that you need to check up in a book. Not as neat as the first two parts. The FE-project was to some extent good, however a lot of time had to be spent on Abaqus problems rather than the actually design problem. I have used a few other programs to perform FE-analysis that is more easy to use and well adapted to structural engineering, e.g. Ansys and Oasys GSA.» (Rahter high)
