Genomsnitt: 2.4

- Lectures by Annie were quite good.» (Human Factors)
- The lecture notes were much clear in understanding and no changes.» (FOT and system evaluation)
- Cut down on the database information etc. Why is that of any relevance... if it is I still do not think it is as important as understanding the AS-systems more throughly.» (FOT and system evaluation)

Genomsnitt: 2.39

- More details about how the systems are developed - the specific algorithm for one type of system needs to be discussed.» (System Design)
- also exercises» (System Design)
- More project work and other more creative work would be better» (Exercises)
- If you will include exercises in the exam.. please let us practice on it also. » (Exercises)
- A combination of Exercises and system design would probably yield a better result. IE Design a system etc.» (Exercises)

Genomsnitt: 3.15

- i think all of the lectures required to be reduced. the descriptions are more than enough and a lot of guest lectures about one topics seems unnecessary» (FOT and system evaluation)
- Was covered too deeply in respect to some of the other aspects. » (FOT and system evaluation)
- One lecture is sufficient, not very interesting form an engineering perspective.» (Society and the market)

Yes»		17		73%
No»		6		26%

Genomsnitt: 1.26

- Would like more visits» (Yes)

- Some of the visits seemed a bit disorganised» (No)
- not completely no. its between yes and no» (No)

14. Does the FCW-lab match your expectations of a lab in a course called Advanced Active Safety?

Completely»		9		37%
To some extent»		12		50%
Not at all (not relevant for the course)»		3		12%

Genomsnitt: 1.75

- Absolutely, but it would have been fun to work more with the implementation of the algorithm and try it in a simple simulator for example to the some more advanced testing than looking at matlab plots» (Completely)
- The assignment was interesting, could be handled in Simulink for a more "realistic" working environment.» (To some extent)
- was quite long» (To some extent)
- there should some more systems for which we would be finding logic , i mean some non-existing or upcoming systems....just algorithm for everytwo weeks maybe ..so that we would end up at something creative at the end of 8 weeks(each batch would deelop some thing significant)» (To some extent)
- It was more data analysis than designing a safety system, but gave some understanding of the "workflow" and the problems of data handling» (To some extent)
- The one thing we struggled most was with Matlab. ALL focus was on solving the 100 million problems that occurred in Matlab. Is that really a goal in this course? » (Not at all (not relevant for the course))
- All we had to do was matlab coding and there was only less time for us to concentrate on the objective of the assignment. 90 % of the time was spent in coding and debugging matlab and only the rest was for FCW and analysis. this task is humongous for people who have less exposure to matlab. » (Not at all (not relevant for the course))

15. Did the work load to complete the lab correspond to the significance it has for the exam and bonus?

Completely»		2		8%
To some extent»		17		70%
Not at all (too much work)»		5		20%

Genomsnitt: 2.12

- It was a lot of work . I would love to have more bonus marks . Much higher than 10.» (To some extent)
- A ridiculous amount of time was spend with this lab, and mostly just because Matlab was a huge problem. » (Not at all (too much work))

- also algorithm development» (Real time application)
- I would have liked to be able to select "Algorithm development" as well, above.» (Real time application)
- Also: Algorithm development and the problems that can occur with that etc.» (Real time application)
- and algorithm development» (Real time application)
- The main problem in the lab was actually the data handling and pre-processing.» (Algorithm development)
- Spent a long time processing and filtering the data. Using some techniques that weren"t so good wanted to use more of the matlab tools instead but was told to just use for loops.» (Algorithm development)

Genomsnitt: 2.59

- all are important , just i dont have an option to skip» (Matlab implementation)
- Most of the time went to get the correct data and make it work in Matlab. Such a WASTE OF TIME!» (Data collection and handling of data)
- Could use simulink for implementation of a system giving a set of data that corresponds to a moving vehicle in real time as apposed to post processing.» (Data collection and handling of data)

I did not seek help»		0		0%

Genomsnitt: 3.37

- If some students have problems with something that the Lab assistants think is obvious, this should not be ridiculed in any way. Especially not behind the students backs and in class so they can hear it. Extremely inappropriate. Also too few lab sessions.» (Very poor)
- I asked several questions per email concerning the lab, but I got an answer only once! During the scheduled hours in the computer rooms, however, the help was good!» (Very poor) (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- It varied» (Rather poor)
