- this was really nice lecture (to broaden mind, not to prepare for exam)» (Great extent)

Genomsnitt: 2.66

- Mathlab again,takes time to get used to the format of the reports» (a bit too difficult)
- Hard to find references to the lecture notes» (a bit too difficult)
- too time consuming» (a bit too difficult)
- good mix with some difficult parts and some more easy» (adequate)
- Det är rimliga labar. Dock skulle det vara bättre för inlärandet att få göra mätningarna själva. Likt Lab1. Innan kursen var mina Matlab-kunskaper väldigt bristande vilket gjorde att rapportskrivandet gick väldigt långsamt och blev svårt att genomföra labbarna ordentligt. Men om man skulle haft mer kunskap i Matlab skulle labbarna nog gått bättre och svårighetsnivån rimlig!» (adequate)
- If one looks at the projects as a whole they are quite complicated but since they are divided into smaller tasks they become quite easy » (adequate)

Genomsnitt: 2.73

- project 2 too long » (a bit too short.)
- We spent too much time on it.» (a bit too short.)
- Except for the lab, that time was a bit too short I think. Maybe it was because I was one of the first to have the lab and by that time you hadn"t got a sufficient feeling about sound to write a good lab report.» (adequate.)
- På grund av bristande matlab-kunskaper blev tiden mellan inlämningarna ganska kort då mycket tid togs till att lära sig räkna.» (adequate.)

- Good to have some hand on calculations.» (Large extent)
- Project work is always great for learning» (Great extent)

Genomsnitt: 3.33

- The grading of the lab work was not that well motivated.» (Rather good)
- even though there was missunderstanding how the introduction shall be made. We did not want to spend some extra time by only (in a slavish manner) rephrase the given sentenses, so we reuse them in project work and we were punished for doing so(lower grade). suggestions: 1.give more time to project work - and make clear, this is not allowed 2.allow this with giving the same time and do not punish students, which do that 3. refrain from introductions of project work» (Very good)
- Bra att kunna maila in dem, och få tillbaka dem fort!» (Very good)

Genomsnitt: 1.33

- Except for the cheap and lousy measurement equipment.» (It was well prepared)
- the callibration didn"t work so we had to use other groups results» (There is a need for improvement / please comment)
- The equipment didn"t work at the time for the lab, but otherwise it was a good lab.» (There is a need for improvement / please comment)
- Any hints of which lecture notes it is about would be an improvement» (There is a need for improvement / please comment)
- a more ingoing description/genomgång of the lab is nessesary» (There is a need for improvement / please comment)
