- The guest lectures, in general were very good. The final one on ventilated facades was a little less applicable, since it is not used as much in practise as the other lectures. It was very helpful to have calculation exercises with the guest lectures as well.» (Interesting, instructive and relevant)

- Excellent opportunity to interact and learn with architecture students. » (Interesting, instructive and relevant)
- One of the most interesting parts of the course» (Interesting, instructive and relevant)
- because I didn t prepare enough it..my notion of heat transfer and moisture were to poor to help the architects...but i think it is a very good idea to make meet these to kind of students with real projects» (You can live without it)
- As I said before, fun, but more profitable for the architechts I guess.» (You can live without it)
- Some of the students were not interested» (You can live without it)
- It would be better if we knew the problems before the workshop so we had time to think about them» (You can live without it)

27. What should be definitely preserved to next year?

- the 2 parts of the quarter with 1) notions, learning 2)guest lectures, understanding, applications and the home assignmenqt»
- The home assignments»
- The guest lecture and the meeting with the architect»
- The home assignments.»
- Home assignments»
- The teaching style of presenting information on the blackboard was good. Having calculation exercises during class was also very useful.»
- Workshop, home assignments and home exam.»
- The Home assignments»
- The home and computer assignments, as well as the workshop should definitely be preserved to next year. The guest lecturers are also quite interesting and should continue to present in the next year. »
- Home assignments and the home exam, even if the exam was very long.»
- many examples of the excersises»
- home assignments, we learned very much from them»
- home assigements, heat 2»

28. What should be definitely changed to next year?

- the presentation of these exercises (facultative) on the website»
- Maybe more exercice»
- The home exam was a new way of doing exams, but it was rather stressful. It was said that a home exam should be less stressful but instead I felt more pressure than during a 4-hour exam, with the difference that it lasted fro eight hours. I believe I would prefer a standard exam.»
- It was a little disappointing that the tour of SP could not be arranged. It would have been useful to see their facilities and what kind of research they are doing.»
- The final examination was a bit long. Perhaps, it should be shortened by one question for next year.»
- Load of material, more desription of a lecture notes, more explanation, more materials helping learning, for examples links, which content explanation to some problems»
- nothing in particular»
- The Examination grading system should be change.whole grade ldepends on your Final exam.and its open solution.there should be some points for Assignments as well.»

29. Additional comments

- Very interesting and valuable course! »
- intresting course, good with small intimate class, created good opportunities to discuss solutions and such. the home exam worked good too, though we really needed all those hours»
- I realy liked that course.But i am very sad that I failed that course by 1 point.I tried my best.as this course was very new for me.Its 8 hour home exam.I don"t like the Examination system for this course.If I m given a choice to study it,I would never choose this course because of exam.»
