Genomsnitt: 2.62

- I felt it was very difficult to discuss the problems with fellow group members, whether due to language barrier or level of interest/comprehension of the material in the class. group work provided very little stimulation to help gain a better understanding of the relevant concepts. People were very nice and agreeable.» (Very poorly)
- in the group:the communication was really bad in my group and just one other person was actively seeking something to do. the others waited untill they were "handed" something with students "outside" my group it worked really well though» (Very poorly)
- Svårt att sammarbeta med vissa asiatiska studenter då de hade betydligt lägre kunskaps- och ambitionsnivå. » (Very poorly)
- Group formation was very good done by teachers. Sometimes international students find little discrimination if it is left to the students themselves to form the group.» (Very well)

- Svårt att se kopplingen till byggbranchen. » (Adequate)
- The material, in regards to environmental issues and sustainable living, seems essential to anyone interested in such things. Method of learning is very effective but requires much work. Defining the hypotheses of the projects before really knowing anything about what we were looking at was challenging. Making students do a more formal pre-study would maybe give incentive to learn relevant material before attemptign the hypothesis.» (Good)
