- it"s still needed to hold more exercise sessions for better understanding the lectures.» (Large extent)
- Sven is a good teacher, and the way which he used for giving the lectures is quite good.» (Large extent)
- Very good teacher, holds time good and time for questions.» (Great extent)

7. What did you think about the different lecturers/teachers?

- Sven - Good teacher easy to understand Arjan - Good material but needs to give more interessting presentation, and presentation technic Alf - The corrections on the reports is really "to detailed errors" and if the levels of the reports demands that, then atleast report guideline must be handed out, because different courses has different demands!»

8. What did you think about the exercises/assignments/lab?

- not enough exercises and not enough time for dismantling.»
- The engine dismantling could be held this way. A whole dedicated for a team and the engine should be completely disassembled to each small part. Then the teams switch between the engines and then assemble it back again. This would help people to get a better and a more clear view. (JUST A SUGGESTION)»
- More practical sessions like the dismantling session can be organized to enhance learning.»
- In other to put the theory in practice,other laboratory could done to analyze parameters like spark ignition time,fuel ratio and emissions.»
- There schould have been more problem exercises. One instructur on the dismantling-lab had very little knowledge about the engine itself and repeatedly gave the wrong term for different parts. Assignment 1 Could have been a good one if we only had some more knowledge about the concept before we started the assignment. assignment 2 was good for better understanding of the powertrain but there was no need to be so anal with the reports.»
