- 1)The lab group sign up and lab group activation on the course site can be confused, activation should be dropped. 2)Often times people do not know their fellow lab mates thus group assignments when people just leave after a lab are difficult if all you have is a name on the website. 3) Better feedback (perhaps on website) on lab corrections or approval. I still don"t know if the lab is approved or there are any problems since another group member was going to had in the rewritten answers.» (Rather badly)
- organizing groups could have been better!!» (Rather badly)
- Slow correction of labs though.» (Rather well)
- The registration for groups and labbs was a bit confusing.» (Rather well)
- all very good except the lecture on surface topography which is difficult to print out. but we understand the source is difficult to modify.» (Rather well)
- Good work with the homepage, reading instructions etc.» (Very well)
- Good to have the handouts in adnvance. » (Very well)

- The MQL lab was a bit confusing» (To some extent)
- the thrird lab was simular to the one in Tillverkningstekning. Would have been interesting to see something different.» (To some extent)
- except for the metal cutting lab (quite repetitive)» (To quite large extent)
- Good to see some in practice. Could have been more if less work on the project.» (To quite large extent)
- Put some more emphasis on preparatory and follow up questions. Perhaps by somehow now allowing group solutions.» (To quite large extent)
- but just in the lab issues that covered only 3 chapters.» (To quite large extent)
- drawing lab and AWJ where realy good. The different graphs and relationships was a bit advanced in the hard turning lab and didn"t help that much. Maby there should be another focus on the hard turning lab, chip size, cutting depth etc.» (To quite large extent)
- The labs were really interesting and organized very well. It was based fully on observation, practice and spot learning. The exercises in the lab description papers were set very well and it was very much better than writing a lab report which could be sometimes repeatition of the course material.» (To great extent)
- Those lab was really meaningful.But Form ability testing seems to be very simple which could be replaced by more critical process, e.g Laser, Plasma or Hydro-forming.» (To great extent)

- only an irritation because of the exchange-students workload wasn"t even close to others...» (Not meaningful)
- I can not see the point of making another small group project work, especially since the outcome of the work obviously didn"t matter nor where graded. Also, in the other course we had a project, so we got training in project work anyways. » (Not meaningful)
- Remember that a division of labor amongst the members will be common thus the amount of information actually learned by one individual can be questioned. Personally I twice rewrote the whole text for the group thus learned more from it than the others.» (Somewhat meaningful)
- When yuo have to do a report without getting any credits for i.e. you can only pass or fail the work sometimes feels meaningless. It would be better if the task was a bit smaller and if it was graded and accounted to the total grade.» (Somewhat meaningful)
- But could have spent more time on labs and less on the report. » (Quite meaningful)
- It is a good thing to impose the groups. I would just have prefered that you mixed exchange-master students.» (Very meaningful)
- The final presentation of group assignments was a good review of the whole course material before the exam. The group members were chosen very well based on different nationalities and academic backgrounds. The only point was that some processes were difficult to be compared with each other or maybe irrelevant. » (Very meaningful)
- it"s allowed student to consider each process very keenly to compare with others. For the first year student it was also an scope to introduce and work with new students from different nationality.» (Very meaningful)

- They seemed to be really promising, they were very much ready with the answer of any question and also a informative presentation. » (Excellent)
- colliding lectures» (Did not attend)
- Pitty I could not attend, but to me a guest lecturer from industry is always appreciated. I checked the SKF slides though, and it seemed that they had represented something good.» (Did not attend)

- My background was more industrial than mechanical engineering and this course was a very good way to get the basic knowledge on production processes. Even if i don"t directly use this knowledge in the future i believe it is important to have this basic "culture".» (Good)
- Wide course, but quite study intense because of this.» (Good)
- more labs and less project.» (Good)
