Goals and goal fulfilment

The course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.

3. How understandable are the course goals?

29 svarande

I have not seen/read the goals» 3 10%

The goals are difficult to understand» 3 10%

The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer» 12 41%

The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn» 11 37%

Genomsnitt: 3.06

4. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?

Answer this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.

25 svarande

No, the goals are set too low» 1 4%

Yes, the goals seem reasonable» 19 76%

No, the goals are set too high» 5 20%

Genomsnitt: 2.16

- The course seems easy but it is just about everything.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)
- The content of the course could be lighter and some chapters could be seen in the introduction to nuclear reactors. » (No, the goals are set too high)
- As a student with electrical engineering background, most of the topics that were not covered in the introductory course were completely new, such as fluid dynamics and heat transfer. These are quite hard to get a proper grasp of from this course alone. From a credit point of view it seemed reasonable with the right background.» (No, the goals are set too high)

5. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?

28 svarande

No, not at all» 2 7%

To some extent» 9 32%

Yes, definitely» 13 46%

I don"t know/have not been examined yet» 4 14%

Genomsnitt: 2.67

- The exam seemed more intent on testing our ability to memorize example problem than to test our understanding of the course material.» (No, not at all)
- According to the checklist for the exam, we had to learn a lot of different things and I got a bit confused. The exam was easier than I though but since we had to learn so much, I thing I miss a lot, even simple things. A lighter checklist could be good (more focused on the essential for the exam)» (To some extent)
- The goals seem to demand more than the examination showed. At first, I thought the goals were too high, so I work really a lot. But finally the exam came, and it was pretty easy compared to what I would have expected.» (To some extent)

Genomsnitt: 2.89

- I had no time to read the material before the lectures.» (Very badly)
- Mostly don"t have the time or endurance to read in advance every time. It"s a very nice thought though!» (Rather badly)
- The material is very detailed and equation intense, and thus it takes quite some time to prepare properly. The method as a concept is good though. Maybe there could be some sort of summary one can read at the end of the chapters if there isn"t time to read the whole chapter before a lecture?» (Rather badly)
- Too much and too hard reading. This course should have been 30 hp.» (Rather badly)
- I did´,nt read in advance very much: However, the teachers were good in describing the subjects clearly» (Rather well)
- Ususally read/followed in the compendium during the lectures instead of prior.» (Rather well)
- Good method but I did not read beforehand» (Rather well)
- It"s always hard to keep up when the lecturer has to get through the material at such pace that he doesn"t have the time to write down the equations on the blackboard.» (Rather well)

- ping ping is great» (Very well)
- The only things that really worked in the course.» (Very well)
- First time I used pingpong and it was great» (Very well)

Rather useful» 20 66%

Very much useful» 6 20%

Genomsnitt: 3.06

- sometimes too fast» (Rather useful)
- Some where good some where not...» (Rather useful)
- It was hard to solve the tutorials without the lecture note. Since the exam was without lecture notes it was hard to understand the difficult level on exam questions. The tutorials was a good way to understand the course.» (Rather useful)
- But the questions given during the exercises where usually a bit to complex or long. Better if they where more on the level of the exam questions. » (Very much useful)

- It was nice to work with people who I never had work with before.» (Very well)

Genomsnitt: 3.56

- Sadly I feel that what we were supposed to do was to REMEMBER the equations and methods rather than learning how to use them. This was also what the examination tested.» (Fair)
- The course is good, but too much to do in too little time.» (Adequate)
- Good but hard.» (Good)
- A great course, which treats an interesting subject. A big plus for good reading material and for skilled teachers» (Excellent)

18. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- lab, project»
- The setup, the lab, hometask and the content»
- The group exercises and the course litterature»
- The teaching.»
- The hometask»
- The layout of the exam was a bit tricky with the numeration in different parts, would have been better with only one question numbered one and so forth, but the type of questions where very good and that layout should definitely be preserved. »
- Lecture slides (if possible it would have been nice to use the same equation numbering as in the compendium for convenience). The lectures were really good, especially the interactive bits where you fill out equations.»
- laboratory exercises and home task»
- Neutron physics.»

19. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- lighter workload (less chapters ?)»
- The information one need to know by heart to teh exam.»
- The exam. It is extremely hard to learn all things by heart. The setup with one theoretical and one problem solving part was good, but it would have been nice with a formula sheet (for the problem solving part)»
- I would have like more exercises that I could have solved on my own. During this course there were only the tutorial which had already been solved by the tutors.»
- the exam was maybe too easy. Or the overall course too complicated. But the lectures seemed a lot more complex than the exam. So maybe : make the exam more difficult or make the lectures easier.»
- The tutorials should be tought slower.»
- More exercise to work at home»
- The exam should be changed to better test understanding.»
- The table board deductions during chapter three was hard to follow. »
- No blackboard derivations for chapter 1 and 3. »
- A real book. More clear content of the course. not about everything that can be connected to reactors. And more interesting lectures. »
- The course overall workload.»
- Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer should be skipped.»
- The weather. Horrible, really.»
- A thougher last exam»

20. Additional comments

- Nice course, a good theoretical background for nuclear applications.. »
- This is one of the most interesting courses I have ever had!»
- There is no point learning lots of equations and derivations by heart.»
- I think the exam was quite strange. You almost got a recipe what to do at each question. But i don"t think it was bad, just unusuall and different from the other exams »
- The workload and difficulty level of this course are higher than for the introductory course. It would be good if some of the material was transferred to the introductory course. »
- During the course if you will provide the clear idea about the question than it will be good for us to get good grades.and if u also give some credit point to laboratory exercises and home task than it will help us . »

- To people with a more mathematical background than my own program.» (Yes, to some extent)
- It was very interesting. We have seen a lot of things from different scientific fields. The teacher in charge is nice, his explanations are very clear.» (Yes, definitely)
- If they are interested in nuclear physics.» (Yes, definitely)
- During the course if you will provide the clear idea about the question than it will be good for us to get good grades.and if u also give some credit point to laboratory exercises and home » (Yes, definitely)
