- I understood everything at the time but it was too much content in too little time. So, it"s pretty hard to remember all the details. Back then, right before the exam I would have answered 80-100% but not anymore.» (60-80%)

- It is somewhere between too high and adequate I think.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- THe work load was quite high» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- Tveklöst de bästa föreläsningar, vad vad gäller upplägg, struktur, m.m., jag tagit del av under mina dryga fyra år på chalmers... Björn Engström sätter en helt ny, svåröverträffad standard för hur man bedriver undervisning.... Mycket bra!!» (Great extent)

- We got some practice in designing a slab and using its plastic behaviour but we didn"t learn anything new by doing the project (except handling Abaqus). Considering that all the time for the project could be used for studying the examples back and forth and reading the corresponding parts of the compendium I have to say that the project was of very little use for the understanding.» (To small extent)
- Absolut inget fel på själva projektet. Dock lades för stor energi.. och framförallt tid, på att få användarovänliga programmet abacus att fungera.» (To some extent)

- It may have been better to get all examples in one bundle instead of handing it out one by one.» (Very well)
- Excellent!!!» (Very well)
- Mängder av uppgifter av varierande karaktär med utomordentligt välskrivna lösningar fanns att tillgå. Ett stort plus till att många uppgifter även delades ut i föväg på lektionerna så att man lättare kunde följa med på vad som sades vid tavlan... Allt annat kopplat till kursadministrationen fungerade också jätte bra.» (Very well)

- OK+ (i.e. a bit too much too do to fully "get the grip" of the subject)» (Adequate)
- som vanligt... med andra ord...» (High)
- Perhaps a bit too high but since the parallel course didn"t have as high workload it was manageable. » (High)
- Definitily too much, especially because of the project. If the project would to some degree provide a preperation for the exam it would have been ok. But the project and exam preparations have been completely seperate things. The only reason why this course worked out quite well despite of that is because the Geotechnics course didn"t demand so much of us.» (Too high)

- The teaching was very good and I feel like I"ve learned a lot. Despite off the massive workload this was a really good course!» (Good)
- The course itself is very good and seems to be very well planned. But it is much work to do, and working with ABAQUS in the FEM-project was very time-consuming » (Good)
- One of the best courses of the first 4 years.» (Excellent)
- Det är ingen överdrift att säga, att detta är tveklöst den bästa kursen jag har läst på chalmers vad gäller innehåll, upplägg och struktur. Det är lätt att se varifrån Karin Lundgren och Marie Johansson har hämtat inspiration när de bedrev kurserna Bärande Konstruktioner och Konstruktionsteknik, som är de enda två kurserna som ens kan jämföras med Structural Concrete. » (Excellent)
- very good structure of the course, the examples added to the lectures perfectly and were very well explained. It was clear and understandble what we were supposed to learn in the course» (Excellent)

21. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Dugga!»
- The "dugga"»
- The theory on plasticity and elestic behavior is very important to grasp»
- Allt!»
- The Björn"s book is really nice»
- FEM-project»

22. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Nothing.»
- FE tasks in ABAQUS does mostly cause irritation over the woftware and not a great deal of learning.»
- Geometry of FEM project to complicated. Have a simpler geometry and the students can consintrade on lerning the diffrence between handcalculation and FEM in sted of spending many hours in building the model in FEM.»
- Jag har en invändning: Tentatiden. Jag vet att det finns vissa tentor som hålls i sex timmar. Denna borde bli en sådan...»
- The project. There needs to be a better connection between the project and the course. Since the design of slabs is a rather easy part of the course, maybe doing something about prestressed beams would be of a much greater use.»
- The distribution of the timetable, too many hours of the same course per day.»
- The lectures of 4h felt very long and it was hard to take it all in, maybe a division of 2h lecture + 2h problem solving would make it moore effective»
- The FEM-project could be somewhat simplified, that goals can be reached by more simple slab forms»

23. Additional comments

- Bra kurs!! Relevat, bra ordnad!»
