Genomsnitt: 2.34

- Teaching of almost all the topic was really disappointing. The course itself is just a brief overview of many important topics, which should be seen in deeper detail.» (Small extent)
- The assiments were really good!» (Some extent)
- In fact, presentations given by the Professor (Hybrid Vehicles and Wind power) were not helpful for the preparation for the examen. There were more statistics than dealing with the subject itself. I would suggest to put more emphasis in the development of the topic than in the "motivation".» (Some extent)
- Some of the lectures seemed too general and offered little or no more detail than a Wikipedia page» (Some extent)
- The lectures were not good. It is OK if Ola wants to borrow slides from some other professor, but he must read them beforehand and know what he is going to say. Also, one must ask what kind of prerequisites it is for this course. Showing the "carbon dioxide is increasing in the atmosphere"-slide seems too low a standard. » (Some extent)

- it was relevant and useful. I think it could have been used more effectively in the projects» (?)
- Really bad course litterature, Especially the compendiums.The teacher should not try to lecture about topics he doesn"t know. » (Some extent)
- In fact, in order to feel really prepared for the exam I had to review exhastively the recommended literature. Course materials were not that much helpful.» (Great extent)

- I only had questions about PV-cells before the exam. Went to Ingemar, he wasn´,t there, so I sent him an e-mail. He did not respond, so I had to call him at the same day as the exam. There should also be more calculating tasks for PV-cells, so that we that have not read electronicscan understand. It is not so hard to write down 4-5 tasks for the students to solve.» (Rather poor)
- Many students were registered but only one person "Abram" was available» (Rather good)
- OK but nothing more» (Rather good)
- course lecturers and assistants seemed to be quite accessible» (Rather good)
- For the assignments we got full guidance which is very appreciated. For lectures in fact I didn"t seek for help.» (Very good)
- Except for that Ingemar was hard to reach and ask questions about the solar cells.» (Very good)

Genomsnitt: 3.58

- There were no problems with cooperation. As the expectations of the level of detail in the projects was quite low, students are not motivated to do more than the minimum expectations» (Rather well)
- Worked with some of my best friends so..» (Very well)

11. How was the course workload?

Too high» 1 2%

Genomsnitt: 3.12

- The projects were quite straight forward. Much effort was put into the individual assignment but that was a personal choice» (Adequate)
- It was adequate, but I would rather spend more time on lectures and stuff like that than the "Scientific Work", which was a joke. » (Adequate)
- The scientific work feels to be just another project that takes time from other studies whithout giving anything specific to the course. I understand the idea of having it but the information about it has been rather weak and to produce a report on 10 pages at masterslevel requires quite a lot of work. This in combination with many other hand ins makes this part a bit overload.» (High)
- The amount of assignment is large.» (High)
- because we have another subject load as well so either you or yury has to reduce some course load.» (Too high)

Excellent» 4 9%

Genomsnitt: 3.51

- I was really disseapointed, it feels like the subject could have been handled in a much better way!» (Fair)
- Specially topics like Hybrid Vehicles and Wind Power need to be improved. I expected more from those topics since there are many research, doctoral students and professor devoted to those topics. However, this time lectures were more like presenting motivation than technical development itself. It is said that in the assignments is where you will learn about that, however I consider that in lecture materials should be presented the theory, and in the assignments they should be verified. I hope that in the future you improved the approach of those lectures. For instance, I liked a lot the presentation of Fusion because all the theory involved, environmental considerations, advantages and disadvantahes, state of art, were dealt very well, dispite I"m not a nuclear engineer I could understand very well the topic. Considering that students are from different programs shouldn"t be a limitant factor to give good and detail lectures.» (Fair)
- As mentioned before, I was expecting a lot much more of the course. I think that it should be well described in the course information webpage that it is just a brief overview of everything, not for student that are seeking for a more detailed study. This is not clearly written, and students may regret for registration in the future.» (Fair)
- Although the course is suppose to give a general overview of technologies, it seemed too general.» (Adequate)
- I think it would be of value to get into more details around materials and design issues for PV cells and systems, both conventional and leading edge technology.» (Good)
- Its was good in general but I prefer if it points out to a specific topic like Wind energy only.» (Good)
- Absolutely need more precise informations. For example, figures given are not clear. Maybe, you should do 3 slides with ALL THE FIGURE (percentage) about worldwide/europe/swedish utilization of different energy sources (and updated informations).» (Good)
- I were of an idea that the course is so stretched it will be good if the students are mode to have a detailed understanding on specific topics like hybrid car, wind energy and energy storage. I think wave, fusion, solar are less advanced and there is nothing the student can get from learning them except if he wants to make research on those area.» (Good)
- should be in two parts may be so that more details are covered eg the details of types of wind turbines» (Good)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Matlab exercises and windturbine visit»
- study visit»
- the study visit to Hönö»
- the weekly assignments with matlab works»
- I think that everything was good»
- Wind power.»
- every thing seems to be ok»
- Adding one extra helping hand for Abram to simaltanously help other students for projects.»
- excercises, asd the reserach project»
- good assignments»
- Assignments!»
- Every topic and the assignments, projects and everything is ok. »
- The assignments were good and interesting, Abram Perdana has a good knowledge of all topics treated by him. The study visit as well was very interesting.»
- The trip to the wind station was very good, as were the exercises and labs.»
- The excercises are very help full, the seminar as wel as the study trip should be preserved. »
- fusion course»
- Focus on technologies that the course representatives are focused on (eg. wind, hybrid cars, batteries)»
- Labs, visit windturbine.»
- projects»
- Assignments are interesting.»
- All the assignments were really good.»
- THE EXERCISES»
- as I stated above it is good for the student to have a detailed information on wind, hybrid and energy storage.»
- The hand -in execises»
- the assignements»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- The scientificwork, better information or even skip it completely.»
- It is better for teacher to divide group as it is more helpful to every body working with different backgournd parteners.»
- It is hard to get in touch with the teacher beside lectures. »
- the wavepower part seems much weaker»
- Nothing, I guess»
- I think it could be more material of solar energy»
- every thing seems to be ok»
- room booking»
- lectures slides are not very suitable for home learning and should be provided prior to the lecture»
- Better lectures, better slides for lectures, and better coursematerial.q»
- Lectures in Hybrid and Wind Farms should be improved»
- The course litterature have to be improved. It is to thin and for most areas studier there were no litterature atcall. Rhe wind power paper is probably alright if you have an electic engineering backgroud but for me with mechanical background it was very difficult to understand. Hybrid paper was quite good »
- I think that the topics of Wind Power and Hybrid Vehicles should be treated in separate courses, maybe a couple of them for each topic, just regarding electrical stuff and applications. Maybe an extra one for wind power for mechanical, fluids and structural analysis. Chalmers had shown that there is a good knowledge in these 2 topics, and I know there are many PhD and PhD Students that could be good lecturers and tutors, so a restructuration or improvemente regarding this needs to be done by my point of view.»
- There was a flip chart/poster page at the wind turbine station that described the relationship between wind speed and tip speed yielding apparent wind speed. Adding that to the lecture would help. A short basic explanation of what equivalent circuits are, why they are used, and the review of basic element characteristics would help.»
- I need to make some boarders on the cource.It would have been helpfull if it focus mostly on wind energy.»
- The lecture on hydro was weak. As was the lecture and lab for solar energy»
- the literature project, it should be canceled or more than just a few pages»
- More feedbacks are needed concerning the different assignments. I took the exam without knowing if my projects are validated, and more important, what were my mistakes in the assignments, so that I cannot do the same mistakes during the exam !»
- The presentation of the scientific work did not give that much. The work itself was a good idea but the presentation was not.»
- Scientific work. Have more (and better) lectures. Go more deeply into what is happening, analysing.»
- the way the lectures are performed»

16. Additional comments

- I would have liked to attend presentations from other students, but due to other classes, it was not possible. Maybe it would be good to post peoples reports and presentations for sharing, and/or maybe spread out the presentations over several days, but only 2 hours per day to make it more feasible to attend other sessions. I"d say at least half of what I saw had real value in expanding my understanding of topics that I would otherwise not have learned about.»
- All in all It can be said that the harmony between our lecturer and students as well as among students was very attractive and helpfull. And this type of learning methods should be kept in the future too. »
- more guest lecturers in specialized fields...however they should focus on their specialization and not on climate change and world oil reserves»
- I like the study visit. you actualy get the real staff that you have learnt»
- Maybe more information about the learning outcomes for the exam, and more calculations for each part of the course to get a better understanding.»
