- I dropped the course . sorry» (?)
- Expected the course to be quite boring and it was. Not the teachers fault however, I just don"t like this kind of course and think it is unnecessary for my education.» (Yes, completely)
- As a basic information introduction of ESA, I think this course gave me pretty much. Moreover, I very enjoy the group project working.» ( Yes, almost)
- Det var för lite konkret, projektet borde kunnas göra mer konkret med ett mindre exempel och föreläsningarna kan ta up större exempel och belysa att det är svårt att genomföra på stora projekt.» (Partly)

2. One objective of the course is to provide basic knowledge of a number of tools/methods, and in-depth knowledge of others. Has that been achieved, according to you?

- I dropped the course . sorry» (?)
- Yes, the central focus in everything we do in the course deals with the different tools.» (Yes, entirely)
- the in depth part is questinable.» ( Yes, almost)
- The depth level of the one more used was not that deep» ( Yes, almost)
- basic knowledge was ok but bt in depth knowledge ---don"t know much» (Partly)
- För lite träning i att använda verktygen. Man borde också få se mer exempel på rapporter där vektygen används.» (Partly)

- I dropped the course . sorry» (?)
- Comparison between the tools could be better, perhaps with a exercise of lecture.» (Yes, almost)
- I think that part was well covered.» (Yes, almost)
- Väldigt mycket information att smälta. Svårt att med så många olika texter kunna sätta fingret på hur de olika vektygen relaterar till varandra. Bra dock med övningstillfällena där detta ibland disskuterades.» (Yes, almost)

Genomsnitt: 2.08

- I dropped the course . sorry» (?)
- Sometimes a little bit hard to understand due to the lack of something related with my studies, but interesting at the same time.» (At the right level)
- I did not come across with courses like ESA in my bachelor study,but I found ESA as a modern and important course.» (At the right level)
- Some parts were hard to understand, given the complexity of the texts which were sometimes hard to understand.» (Too difficult)

8. Did you find the lectures easy to follow and relevant in content?

- I don"t remember who is who and what lectures they had.»
- I don’,t like the advertisement typed lectures from companies, especially Akzo ‎,Nobel thing was really an advertisement rather than a lecture! ‎,»
- I dropped the course . sorry»
- To be honest I must unfortuenatly say that Karins and Ulrikas lectures where quite useless. This is a little strange since they are both very good and relevant to listen to in most other circumstances, but I guess that this could be blamed on lack of experience in lecturing in english.»
- Can not connect all theese names to their right faces. Hard to remember who is who.»
- Karin har en tendens att säga "whatever" ibland när hon inte orkar förklara och en går hon bara vidare. Hennes slides är också lite svåra att använda i sin ensamhet. Dvs dom borde kompletteras så man kan förstå dom även efter förälsningarna.»
- Guest lectures were charged with a lot of information for one day»

9. How did you like the exercises (LCA, MFA, RA, EIA)?

- I dropped the course . sorry»
- The excercises are extremely good and helpful but Christin is not a very good "tutor". She is quite rude and often "abrupt".»
- since the coure is new for some international student it is butter to give some hint about the exercises befor starting discution with the group. »
- Need to be more practical.»
- Jenny Westerdahl is a very good exercies teacher»
- Should be possible to hand in the exercise without attending the class, if you are sick or away.»
- The exercise sometimes were not that clear, and the in depth level not so big, maybe because of lack of time»

Genomsnitt: 2.2

- I dropped the course . sorry» (?)
- The exercise with MFA I hade to work with at home also. So maybe it was 1.5*scheduled time just for that one. » (1 * scheduled time)
- För mycket jobb om man jämför med hur mycketbonuspoäng dom gav.» (1,5 * scheduled time)
- I would rather have made the exercises some other day than fridays, since the exercises often demanded (at least for me) some extra work after scheduled time. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete one or two of the exercises due to the fact that I had already planned other things than studying on a friday night.» (2 * scheduled time)
- Difficult in managing the exercises in two hours.» (more)

11. How did you like the case work?

- I really enjoy with my group. I learnt a lot from them.»
- One thing that concerns me is that only the groups who did the pharmaceuticals case work could get the highest grade which tells me that either their case work was easier than the others or that their supervisor was too kind in putting their grade. My group with foreign students were ok but they have big problems with keeping the time. I have probably spent 15-20 hours waiting for them. English level is sometimes very bad.»
- Jenny is a VERY GOOD supervisor who always helped us with the case work and the exercises when we asked her. Actually she made this course more interesting when she explained things we wondered on the exercises. »
- I dropped the course . sorry»
- I notced that all groups had someone who didn"t work at all, never showed up and didnät do anything when they did show up. This affected the working students grade negative. felt unfair. »
- Hand-ins is extremely good, if it works which it didn´,t in this case. The use of getting back a report filled with unreadable comments and notations more or less without discussion is point less.»
- Very good case work. Should have weighed in more in the resulting grade, because it was the part where I learned the most and felt like I had the chance to show that.»
- Svårt att veta hur man skulle avgänsa sig eftersom man inte kunde hantera vertygen så bra.»
- It was somewhat difficult to know how much effort and time we were supposed to put into the case work. It seemed to be very different from different groups. I learned a lot from the case work, but I would prefer maybe to work a little bit more with the other exercises to fully understand all of the assessment tools.»
- Can say it was big because of the lack of information to work with it and the lot of time spend searching it, not because of the application of the methods.»

12. Course literature

- Some parts (e.g. RA) was very diffiult to read and understand. Very small text in some parts.»
- I think some of the texts were difficult to read and understand. »
- I don’,t know why, but the literature wasn’,t clear and easy for me to understand and ‎,the concepts were so general, I think more engineering point of view in these cases ‎,would have been more useful and understandable for me at least. ‎,»
- I dropped the course . sorry»
- Create a real index so you can find a page number, not the page numbers from the copied book. »
- The litterature is quite good but some parts are extremely hard to read, many people have problems with reading beurocratic or excessively academic texts in their native language but to try to do same in foreign language is more or less unfeasible.»
- it is to much to read and understand.»
- some of the article is printed in too small letters»
- Vissa delar var svårlästa och när kompediet består av olika delar från olika författare blir det svår läst. Alldells för liten text i vissa delar. »
- LCA Methodology was not so easy to read»
- It is very good to have compendiums like this because they take out the best of several books and papers, but still it was not so easy to read and understand.»
