27. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- clearer lecture about the homework after we handing in»
- The lab serie, very good lab PM:s»
- Home asignments»
- lecturer»
- solutions to homeworks after deadlines so we can see where we went wrong.»
- The home assignments, great!»
- Home assignments should not be changed»
- lectures»

28. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- it is great,not need too much change.»
- the Excell file in lab 2, or give an optional matlab file.»
- MPIES intro labs»
- Labs need to be changed in to a project and extra classes for exercises needed. There is a lack of problem solving so tutorial hours need to be added»
- homework assignment #2.»
- The labs did not really give much.»
- I think no change is required»
- loering total load»

29. Additional comments

- Very good gourse in general, but you should defenitely talk to Sven about the workload in his course. Only one group finished on time with the labs...»
- I think the number of lectures should be increased if there is a possibility»
- nothing»
