- We should have more lectures on fatigue design. Maybe it is easier for the students who have chosen Fatigue course but I think most of us don´,t.» (Good)
- Maybe more examples and applications in real life» (Good)

Genomsnitt: 2.7

- For the next year perhaps a preparatory class that goes through a bit about the theory about the HAZ would be good in advance of the assignment.» (Good)
- It was a bit earlier to give the assignment.Perhaps it should be given in week 2 of study period.» (Good)

Genomsnitt: 2.68

- The samples weren"t really well prepared. The surface of the samples was very uneven and so every time the sample was moved in any direction, there was a loss of focus. This made it very difficult so try and identify the different zones within the HAZ.» (Fair)
- The metal lab could have been updated with new microscopy methods. Connected to computers for example.» (Fair)
- Instructions were clear but sample was very difficult to analyse due to the very subtle differences between the zones» (Good)

- Both the metallurgy book and the welding handbook has a lot of mistakes.I think both of the books need to be proof read first.» (?)
- Book on metallurgy was very difficult to read» (Some extent)
- The book "Physical metallurgy in welding" was very good was well explained and at a high enough level. "Welding processes handbook" however, was worthless! The structure of that book is horrible and vital information about some processes and welding parameters can"t be found in it! Often the book gave a statement about something without ever even attempting to explain why that is so. Please try and find a replacement for "Welding processes handbook", because it was so bad.» (Large extent)

- Very interesting to see some of the more advanced methods such as submerged arc welding. It was good to talk to the people there about how things are done in reality, since there is often a difference between real life and theory.» (Interesting)

- I liked the visit to their "lab", but the lecture wasn"t as good. Since the place was very hard to find, perhaps a meet-up location should be used next year? Maybe at the bus stop at Volvo?» (OK)

- With the International students it was rather good, but Most Swedish students they were not willing to help international ones.» (Very poorly)
- Had some problems with a lazy group member, but since the assignment wasn"t all that heavy, it was easier to just do it instead of spending a lot of time complaining about it.» (Rather well)

Genomsnitt: 4.23

- Welding is a board subject for only 2.5 months. So it is reasonable that certain topic in the course can not be spreaded and go deep. So expecting more specific course about certain topic, e.g. defect formation, metallurgy analysis of weld, fatigue simulation of welding structure etc.» (Good)
- Some flaws such as the lousy handbook in welding, otherwise excellent.» (Good)
