- Since it was only laboratory work and it included experiments from different fields of acoustics which were somehow irrelevant and unfamiliar, it was a bit difficult to get all the points in only one introduction lecture. And since we were very busy all the time I couldn"t find time to study extra materials in that field.» (Some extent)
- Kan definitivt utföra praktiska mätningar med de metoder som lärts ut, men kanske inte greppar teorin bakom till 100%.» (Great extent)

- This course doesn"t have any exam. The grading is just based on the hand in reports. But since the work load was too much, I could never show all I knew in the short time that was available for handing in the reports. » (To some extent)
- examination i mean the writen reports, they are the best, even it takes a lot of time to write them :) i really appreciate the comments from the assitants and the way they help to improve to describe procedures and things correctly» (Yes, definitely)
- But a portion of the grades allocated to the report structures and literature stuff which is not related to the main goal of the course» (Yes, definitely)
- Ingen tentamen. Jonas var hårdare i sin bedömning än de andra (möjligen undantaget Astrid, har inte fått returen än). Detta gör i för sig ingenting, bra att någon ställer lite krav...» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)
