- I was very dissapointed with the book» (Small extent)
- The course literature is really bad!» (Small extent)
- Tycker inte att kursboken användes så mycket. Det enda den användes till var till de frivilliga veckouppgifterna. Kanske kunde inkludera den mer i kursen, eller ta bort den helt.» (Small extent)
- Värdelös bok, ångrar djupt att jag köpte den, och antar att det inte är lätt att sälja den heller, eftersom ni byter bok.» (Small extent)
- I found the book not useful at all and was disappointed that we had to pay such a lot of money for something that I, and many other people I have spoken to, have not used. It was not easy to read at all.» (Small extent)
- only used the textbook for the indiv assignments! Found unclear, uneasy to follow and a lot the same facts with different words -not a good book.» (Small extent)
- Kursboken kunde inkluderats mer i undervsiningen. Det den användes till var att göra veckouppgifterna, inget annat. Aldrig fel att ha en bok, men vore önskvärt om man kunde använda den mer.» (Some extent)
- The book was not good, handouts from course homepage were better to read.» (Some extent)

- it should be better organized, there was files under the wrong category several times!» (Rather well)
- För det mesta bra, även om en del föreläsningsanteckningar kom upp lite sent.» (Rather well)
- Veckouppgifterna lämnades inte alltid ut i rätt tid.» (Rather well)
- I find the student portal a very accessible and efficient way of getting lecture notes, assignments etc. Some of the marks for the weekly assignments could have been given a little more promptly.» (Rather well)
- unclear where the results from the assignments was posted » (Rather well)
- Funkade bra!» (Very well)
- The results from the weekly assignments were often delayed. » (Very well)

- The spoken english need to be better! Also, some lectures were to basic, and some (chemestry...) was to abstract. Students from this branch don"t know so much chemestry.» (very poor)
- some were bad, some were good, i didn"t like the chemistry part since some things had been "simplified" which meant that people that have had some kind of background in chemistry from gymnasium were very confused» (rather good)
- Varierade väldigt mellan de olika föreläsarna. Delen om distribution var mycket bra, medans treatment var lite sämre» (rather good)
- great variation, mostly good. (chemistry part can be better and clearer!)» (rather good)
- Excellent for Thomas, very goog for Britt.» (excellent)

- I think that it would have been better if all groups (or almost all groups) were to have different tasks. » (rather poor)
- Kunde varit fler!» (rather good)
- The lecture room was very unappropriate for exercises.» (rather good)
- Mycket bra med exempel, även om det ibland var oklart hur en del kemiuppgifter hade löst, kanske borde räknas igenom igen. Dessutom skulle ett datorskrivet facit vara bra.» (very good)
- I really liked that we had the question bundle near the beginning of the course as I was able to start working on it straight away which I think took away from the last minute stress nearer the exam.» (excellent)

- You got better grades when guessing, then reading the book for the answer!» (rather poor)
- I think it"s a good idea to have a weekly assignment» (rather good)
- Bra, för man fick en enblick i de olika delarna, dock hade det varit bra att veta vad man fick och vad man inte fick poäng för, så man vet vad man har missat. Dessutom dröjde det ibland väldigt länge innan de rättades.» (rather good)
- it was good to have assignments every week, but the results on the weekly assignments should be faster. And it would be good to have more feedback on what was wrong if the answeres weren"t correct.» (rather good)
- Det kunde ha givits kommentarer på vad som saknats i svaren för att få full poäng.» (very good)
- Good idea to have those, because you get started earlier.» (very good)
- Very good to be able to have an individual work. » (very good)

- agin, if we were to have different assignments in the groups I think our gaining would be greater» (rather poor)
- We wanderd in dark most of the time, when data didn"t match and we didn"t know what to do (with the chemestry), and got poor help. Took so much more time than it could have. It feels like the teachers don"t value the students time.» (rather poor)
- epanet var bättre än kemin.» (rather poor)
- I think the chemistry assignment should have been more helpful if it had been more theorethical and not so many calculations. We had to do so much simplificatiosn, since we didn"t have the time to learn how to do the proper calculations. Since the calculations were so simplified it was difficult to understand process.» (rather poor)
- Project 1 ok. Project 3 should be presesented in another form.» (rather good)
- Bra! Även om den första var lite stressig. Epanet var bra (assignment 3) för man fick verkligen en inblick i hur programmet fungerade och hur det kan användas. Assignment 2 kändes lite diffust, och det var svårt att räkna när man inte hade riktig indata och bra värden att jämföra med.» (rather good)
- Computer work is always hard with a big group of people but it was good that the sections could be split up between the group memebers (ie you didn"t necessarily have to have done part 2 to do part 3 etc) » (rather good)

- more study visits and field trips!» (very good)
- Mycket bra! Även om vi varit där innan var det intressant att se det igen.» (excellent)
- the guy who showed us around (with the main lady) was great, he was really enthusiastic! » (excellent)
