- they where good. As the formulas was in the compendium, it would have been better to give examples to how they are used. » (Rather good)
- Innehållet i föreläsningarna täckte inte in det man behövde kunna föra att lösa projektet på ett effektivt sätt. Därför gick mycket tid åt till att försöka hitta en metod att lösa projektet när det inte egentligen var det man skulle lägga tid på.» (Rather good)

- För låg nivå på uppgifterna, grundkursnivå.» (Rather bad)
- The teacher isn"t the problem, instead I would like to have more time to solve the problems myself with the aid of teacher if needed.» (Rather bad)
- Could be more overview of solving method than actual time-consuming solving» (Rather good)
- Good but sometimes it felt liked they where out sync with the lectures and the project.» (Rather good)
- lägg mer tyngd på problemlösning/tänkadelen och mindre på de algebraiska biten. Det är att tänka ut hur sätta upp koordsystem/lösningsgång som är svårt» (Rather good)
- Well structured PSS. » (Very good)

- A lot of calculations. Perhaps too much. Difficult to start solving the project before Jonathan had gone through last years project (which happened the day before the deadline).» (Rather good)
- The problem is rather good! But still it"s a lot of calculations, to some degree, it"s a little bit boring to list so so long equations....» (Rather good)
- It was good, gave good insight to what we learned in lectures. Some part"s could have used better examples how to make them. In lectures or/and solving lessons.» (Rather good)
- The fact that you learned so much from the project made it worth doing. It had however too much "mechanical" calculations that you didnt learn anything from.» (Rather good)
- In my opinion, the focus could have been more on comprehension rather than on "monkey business" such as deriving equations of motion on and on.» (Rather good)
- very heavy sometimes but that seems reasonable since it gives a pass on the course and 5 extra points.» (Rather good)
- Roligt och utmanande» (Very good)
- Good but tough» (Very good)

- They where good, but little unclear on what was expected to do sometimes. especially about the first voluntary part.» (Rather good)
- interesting to do and analyze something real!» (Very good)

- I would prefer the system where some points can be earned with the project (for example 5/20), but still an exam is needed to pass.» (Rather bad)
- Since the project consumes a lot of time this system seems reasonable.» (Very good)
- It makes me focus more on learning for fun and not for grade, which is better for the grade.» (Very good)
- It is good, the project was insightful and demanded a lot of time so it was fair to be passed on the merits of it. And the possibilities to get a higher score on exam is also good.» (Very good)
- Släpper pressen inför tentan vilket ger en bättre inlärning. Lugnare jullov eftersom man minst har G» (Very good)
- Very good, even though the preparation for the exam was also really useful to repeat and understand the course content.» (Very good)
- But i do think that the project and the adams lab sholud make you understand the most important things to be able to fulfil them.» (Very good)
- But this also a problem, because if you pass the course bevor the exam I was not so motivated for the exam» (Very good)
- Releases the pressure on exam studies.» (Very good)
- I learned much studying for the exam though.» (No opinion)
