Your own effort1. How many hours per week did you spend on this course?We mean total time, that is, it comprises the time you spent in class and the time you spent on your own work. Try to estimate the average time per week over the entire study period.48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.22 - Already took the course before» (Around 25 hours/week) 2. How large part of the teaching offered did you attend?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.39 - Already took the course before» (25%) Goals and goal fulfilmentThe course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.3. To what extent did your reach the following goal?After the course the student should be able to define basic constituents defining a boundary value problem in terms of a differntial equation, data and boundary conditions.48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.39 4. To what extent did you reach the following goal?After the course the student should be able to apply the basic theory of the finite element method as a numerical method to solve (partial) differential equations, including deriving a weak formulation and constructing suitable approximating functions.48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.25 5. To what extent did you reach the following goal?After the course the student should be able to identify and separate the physical modelling (balance laws, material properties, loads and boundary conditions) as compared to the discretization (numerical solution, e.g. FEM).47 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.06 - Inte så stort fokus på discretization. Blev lite förvånad när det kom på tentan, var beredd på att lämna det häftet hemma» (60-80%) 6. To what extent did you reach the following goal?After the course the student should be able to define the modelling steps in the mathematical modelling of stationary and transient linear heat flow and static linear elasticity.48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.1 - Dont remember this very good» (60-80%) 7. To what extent did you reach the following goal?After the course the student should be able to apply the finite element method to problems of stationary and transient heat flow and liner static elasticity in one, two and three spatial dimensions.47 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4 - I think the transient part deserves more attention in terms of examples and exercises since there were not enough exercises for the information to stuck in students" minds. » (60-80%) 8. How understandable are the course goals?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.64 9. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.08 - There should be less physics, and more mechanics in the course. The main part was about heat flow and similar stuff.» (No, the goals are set too high) 10. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?The examination consits of project assignments and final examination.47 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.57 - The problem with having so much points in the assignments compared to the exame is that classmates (of course) help eachother out. This means some people will pass the course without actually fulfilling ANY goal above. To be honest this is especially true with the foreign students. Still, I think the assignments and the system overall where great for those who did there homework.» (To some extent) Teaching and course administration11. To what extent have the lectures been of help for your learning?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.95 - Already took the course before» (Small extent) 12. To what extent have the exercises been of help for your learning?47 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.51 - since some examples were carried out in the course-book in a very detailed way, the need for the exercises, as far as the final examination is concerned, was rather small.» (Small extent) 13. To what extent has the first project (one-dimensional problems) been of help for your learning?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.02 - Part a in it was very easy if you have read structural mechanics course, but was a nice task to start of with. » (Some extent) 14. To what extent has the second project (stationary and transient heat transfer) been of help for your learing?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.16 15. To what extent has the third project (plane stress analysis) been of help for your learing?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.08 16. To what extent has the computer lab (commercial software) been of help for your learning?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.87 - Already took the course before and did it then» (Small extent) 17. Did you follow "Heat and moisture engineering" in the same quarter?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.31 - Needs improvement. Clearification of the project.» (Yes) 18. To what extent has the the course literature and other material been of help for your learning?47 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.27 - Great book» (Great extent) 19. How well did the course administration, web page, handouts etc work?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.35 - New, corrected versions of distributed Matlab files were uploaded on the course homepage, without any information on mail or on the course homepage... Rather frustrating to need to spend days to seach for errors in your own codes, and then realize that the distributed codes contains errors...» (Rather badly) Study climate20. How were the opportunities for asking questions and getting help?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.68 - Hard if you was stuck somewhere in the code and the teachers couldnt find what was wrong either. Could take 2-3 days to find out what was wrong.» (Rather good) 21. How well has cooperation between you and your fellow students worked?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.54 - I did most of the projects myself and he helped writing the reports.» (Very poorly) 22. How was the course workload?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.6 - Already took the course before» (Adequate) Summarizing questions23. What is your general impression of the course?48 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.1 - Definitly best course this fall in our program» (Good) 24. What is the remaining value of the course in the future?46 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.13 - I think it should focus in using the most common commercial software, that is the one we are probably going to use in the future.» (Rather small) 25. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- Everything»- Most of the content of the course.» - I think the fact that one of the assistants was a student was very well since he was accessible all the time, and it was a good way to ask questions. Furthermore, the way of learning through projects rather than a lot of theoretical things is very well working. » - The assignments. Maby we as V-students should learn about beams aswell.» - all» - The litterature.» - The projects, the course book, the examinator.» - Fredrik Larsson. Great lectures!» - please don"t change the lecture as a whole! It"s great. » - The project works.» - nearly all» - Fredrik Larsson and the stress/strain part» - The project » - boken och projekten.» - The teachers and their commitement..» - The projects themselves were very helpful for me, because they were challenging. At the same time, they were a good preparation for the exam.» - the assignements» - The projects» - The assignments and that they are not manditory» 26. What should definitely be changed to next year?- Nothing, besides clearer information about the FEM-HAME-project»- The second home exercise should be handed out in time next year. But if I understood it right it was more or less Heat and moisture that caused the delay.» - Rather than only one computer session with ABACUS more sessions has to be introduced..Further instead of using MatLAB ABACUS could be used in project-3. This really provides more exposure to commercial tool.» - I think the course is too interacted with heat engineering, specially one of the projects. There are many students who are good in finite element but are not interested to do heat engineering problems with FE method. For example, it is not good when somebody should take heat engineering since it is obligatory, but he or she should tolerate this course in FEM course as well.» - varying computer rooms» - Too much lectures, narrow it down to the most important and do not waste time with repeating.» - Less heat flow, and more mechanical problems.» - Perhaps the exercises. One idea is to not do calculations on things lectured earlier that same day, so you have time to read it through on your own before.» - So that classes and exercises are in the same building.» - annoying was the deadline for the last assignment. We hardly had 12 days for the most complicated of the three assignements in a very, very busy time! There are other lectures which are challenging us two weeks in front of the exams! Maybe the date of handout can be set to an earlier date!» - Some more focus on how the matrixes and vectors "look like" and maybe some more exampels on the lectures.» - Would you please ask if students want to do a project related with Heat and moisture.» - I think one of the projects should be worked with abaqus instead of matlab» - Maybe introduce more stress/stress and less heat engineering» - lectures (it"s too much similar sith what is written in the book). I think students need more details during courses for a better understanding» - good knowledge of matlab is necessary for the course and there should be a preparatory even small course for students who are unfamiliar with it.» - Sammarbetet med heat and mositure i ett av projekten rörde till en del och kanske kan skippas? » - I would have had a greater understanding of FEM if I didn´,t have to spend all my time using mathlab. I understand however that it has to be a big part of the course.» - more teaching for the Matlab progam» - I"m not sure whether the calculated examples in the computer class helped a lot, maybe it would be better to have more time for consultation regarding the assignments, working on the assignments etc. instead, especially for those not familiar with MATLAB.» - better or no abacus teaching» - Computer lab in smaller groups Better repartition of the work in the exercises » - better computer lab.. One that is more helpfull for the future or something that makes sense» 27. Additional comments- Definitly one of the best courses this far in both the bachelor and the master program.»- I believe that it will better if professor put lecture notes on handout.» - the introductory lecture about matlab should take place in a computer room instead of the lecture classroom, where students could use the matlab to check the instructions» - I dont like the way the points are calculated, possible to get 9 points from project work, and 9 from exam is ok... but i know there are students who is working in project with "the right person" and get 9 points from project work, without understanding anything.. and only needs to make 1 point at the exam... this is not a good way to learn any subject. I would like it to be scored in the same way, but to get an "approved" the student needs to have at least 3 of 9 points at the project work, and at least 3 points on exam.. in this way i think the points would better show the knowledge from each student...»
