- All of what the teachers say, is on the powerpoint, so it was not necessary to attend the classes. I also think that the teachers should have other ways to teach. It"s hard to stay awake four ours in front of powerpoint.» (Small extent)
- The information in the slides was often very good but i found it hard to understand it in the lectures since most of the four our sessions involved the same teacher. At many occations the low knowledge of english from some teachers was disturbing the flow of the lectures, understandable since it´,s the first time for them but perhaps not acceptable.» (Small extent)
- I think it would be better to have some other way to teach other than just lectures.» (Small extent)
- Hard to understand the speaking language. Very bad pedagogy.» (Small extent)

- Without any book and just pp-slides it´,s nearly impossible to study before the exam. So a book should be very good to have!» (Small extent)
- course book required!!» (Small extent)
- The handsout are sometimes hard to study at. Literature would be good. Always handout handouts in class or make a compendia of it and sell it in the beginning of the course. Printing is a large workload aswell as a large additional cost for us students.» (Small extent)
- Very difficult to learn with only power point slide as the only course literature» (Some extent)
- Only powerpoint-slides was"nt enough. Hard to understand some slides.» (Some extent)
- The slides were nice to read » (Large extent)
- If only slides are handed out, it would be great to put them on the website at least one day (or better two) before the lecture is held.» (Large extent)
- But not any good literature. Better with a book» (Great extent)

- Often course literature was not on the web before the lecture» (Rather badly)
- Too many slides from the teachers. Maybe about 3000, better to find one or two books which the students may follow.» (Rather badly)
- There was no information on when to hand in project works etcetera.» (Rather badly)
- Always handout handouts in class or make a compendia of it and sell it in the beginning of the course. Printing is a large workload aswell as a large additional cost for us students.» (Rather badly)
- But a lot of the information came much too late» (Rather well)

- Very low in the beginning and later on becoming more and more, which didn´,t feel motivated since a whole lot more work could be done in the three first weeks to make the workload less in the later weeks when the structural systems project work took a lot of time.» (Low)

- It didn"t fulfill my expectations. I would have wanted examples from the reality, how to build to avoid these problems.» (Poor)
- I was really disappointed with this course.» (Poor)
- The worst course, for the present, on Chalmers.» (Poor)
- Some timed low quality and some really boring lectures. Lack of literature makes it harder. A bit to much repetion from basic course. A bit to much about strange models and research methods...» (Poor)
- to much in detail. I don´,t feel that I need this sort of knowledge when working on a company.» (Fair)
- Depends a lot on the lectures. I think the subject can become more interesting if the teachers could use powerpoint in another way.. » (Fair)
- in the beginning i didn´,t see any difference between material performance course and the swedish course "byggnadsmaterial" but later on there were differences though a lot were the same» (Adequate)

20. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- knowledge about durability.»
- The guest lecturers»
- It is important to keep teaching this material because it has such a big connection to the structural performance»
- The guest lecturers (except the AAR)»
- Kopplingen till "Structural systems" genom projektarbetet i "Structural systems"»
- Laboratories are important for the comprehension of the course »
- nothing»
- Study trips, lab exercises, guest lectures»
- ...»

21. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- less description of different measurement methods»
- better lectures, better course literature, better connection between the courses.»
- The lectures - some were much too detailed and some repeted a little too much from the earlier building material course. It would be good to avoid having the same lecturer for 4h.»
- The materials choiche task have to be handed out much earlier so it will be more easy to plan the work, not one week before final hand in of both projects in the period»
- calculation of some examples otherwise it"s getting too abstract and students won"t enter that many lectures cus it can be studied by own hand! »
- The connection to the other course should be better and the calculation methods for chloride and co2 ingress should be practiced more.»
- Have a book to read and have something else than just lectures.»
- Lectures sometimes boring. Try to get students more involved into them.»
- it"s better to give less than 3 ooks to let the students read. and all the lectures should come from those books.»
- Start with the other materials. Then we will learn more about all of them, since concrete is the most complicated one the others fell in it"s shadow»
- The number of slides!»
- Nån kurslitteratur hade varit trevligt. Att bara ha powerpoints att plugga på på egen hand är inte optimalt.»
- Kurslitteratur i bokform, och lärare som kan prata engelska så man förstår vad dom säger.»
- Better teaching»
- Try to have more links with Structural Systems Too many powerpoint presentations (a lot of very detailed and maybe not always useful informations to learn) »
- Do some litterature because just reading from PP. slides does not give me any knowlage.»
- The lectures, the literature, the exams»
- Definitely some kind of literature, not only slides...»
- Less information on the slides, but additional handouts with the left information.»
- The teachers, or changes from the teachers. Maybe some course litteraure»
- Litterature, better lectures... Hard to come up with sucestions for topics. Maybe course is unnec»

22. Additional comments

- You should consider giving rethorical lectures for the teachers. »
- the slides should be more explaining, cus sometimes you just see pictures and don"t know how they are related to the topic!»
- if using slides teaching no books, the exam maybe could choose write reports instead of writing-exam.»
- Keep all the slides but skip some during the lectures.»
- This cours has been a waist of time and only a repetition of previous courses. »
- Hard to come up with sucestions for topics for next year. »
