- the calculation part is too difficult, compared with example exam...» (To some extent)
- The theory part is definately a good indication of our understanding and the questions did challenge our understanding. I feel the practical part could have related to methods taught to a greater degree.» (To some extent)
- But the last question was not fare. no exampels simmarar to this question had been done and was thus a bit to difficult» (Yes, definitely)

- Thomas part at least and Johans excercises...BMW not so much since she is sweet but gives the impression of being uncertain» (Large extent)
- Teaching was good. Hand outs were always given and lecturers spoke clearly and with interest. The most beneficial part of the course came from worked examples, especially the handouts covering designing a activated sludge reactor and nitrogen removal. Maybe this could be expanded into other areas next year as it helps give a clear method of workings.» (Great extent)

- havn"t read» (Small extent)
- Really good with the lecture slides» (Small extent)

- I don"t like the Viessmann. Maybe you can find another book?» (Some extent)
- especially BMW excercises that Johan went through» (Large extent)
- The question and answer booklet was useful in what it covered but I felt sometimes it narrowed too much on a specific question as opposed to more generic questions which limited its use.» (Large extent)

- exept aswers to exam» (Very well)
- Except that Thomas didn´,t follow BMW structure on the webpage» (Very well)
- Everything was made available as we needed it and the literature posted on the student portal was especially useful to the assignment and overall understanding. On the other hand, I felt the recommended coursebook was one of the worst I"ve had. Examples are unclear and in non SI units, the texts are rambling and EXTREMELY hard to read and take anything away from it. » (Very well)

- I felt the course workload worked well, other than in regards to SWMM. This particular part of the course seemed to swallow time like a black hole! It was not entirely conducive to a group work atmosphere as everyone had to carry out ever step to have an understanding of what was going on. Also, the advice that we received was sometimes poor and contradictory.» (Adequate)
- I felt quite pressurised at the end when we were doing to project and trying to study for the exam. We got the project early but didn"t have all the information we needed to actually get started properly until quite late in the course. » (High)

- Unfortunately I did not enjoy this part of the course at all. Very stressful and confusing.» (very poor)
- to many in each group. cant sit 4 with 1 computer. so divided the work instead of doing it together. was hard to do changes in the model when you didn"t know how the model was built.» (rather poor)
- Although the overall concept of the assigment was intersting I found the actual computer work rather uninteresting and not condusive to group work. » (rather poor)
- To big assignment to be easily handled and understood to all in the group.» (rather poor)

- Theres some small details that are not said and has to be corrected after the delivery of the project» (rather good)
- As I said before it would have been good to get all of the information and start working on it sooner.» (rather good)
- See above» (rather good)
- alot better than the "drinkingwater assignment". not as overwelming» (very good)
- The problem was quite open and we had difficulties because we don"t have prior experance in designing WWTP » (very good)
- The problem was quite open and we had difficulties because we don"t have prior experance in designing WWTP » (very good)
- The only improvement I feel is that instead of having work sessions, we have appointments with the lecturer so we arent all battling for the lecturers time and also, it provides an incentive to get results to discuss.» (very good)

- Really good idea, interesting to do. It may be too much to ask but a small amount of feedback would have been good when you only get 1 credit just to know if you"ve done something wrong or just missed something out, just one line.» (excellent)

- If the examination and particularly the Britt Marie part was good I would have answered excellent, I think the exercises that Britt Marie showed us were totally different compare to what I saw in the exam! maybe I can say a damn difficult examination.» (Good)
