- More time spent at the end with the Hybrid Electrical Vehicles Project... but thanks to David we had one week more, it was a good idea!» (At most 15 hours/week)

- The contents of the lectures are sometimes too basic for people attending a Master Course. I don´,t know why, but I expected more. Maybe guest lectures would be good. » (No, the goals are set too low)
- But the course by it self did not deliver as the goals where set.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)

- It was a very easy exam» (No, not at all)
- Taking 30/56 points on the exam from last year"s exam was definitely the most lazy thing I have ever seen! The exam was more a memory- than a knowledge test!» (No, not at all)
- It was a real "typtalstenta". Personally I think that is really sad and boring because then I automatically dont put down more efford to go into depth with some things... I studied just for one day for the exame and probably will get a 5 in grade - Normally that would not be possible if it is a course that demands more of you. » (To some extent)
- but I hope so!» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)

- David made great job during the tutorial sessions. About professor Ola"s lectures: Why not adapt the lecture slides for the audience? It is really LAZY and DISRESPECTFUL to use about 50% of the slides written in swedish. Going to most lectures (especially the one about waterpower)was just waste of time. Absolutly terrible prepared lectures (what should I say here...?) with one half of the slides written in swedish didn"t help that much....» (Small extent)
- Slow and very broad lectures.» (Small extent)
- Some of the techers were unprepered. To few techers at the data lab» (Some extent)

- Nice compendiums, well explained, but lecture slides not so clear especially when you have to read them again for the exam...» (Large extent)

- to few assignment teachers» (Rather poor)
- ..during booked hours. It was possible to get help outside of booked hours.» (Rather poor)
- David was really good! You could always go to him with questions and he explained well. Though the situation was not the same with Poopak. Initially during the assignments she did not follow the help list but instead just walked to a few that got alot of help. Maybe she did have a bad self-esteem to dare to talk with more people.» (Rather good)
- David and Poopak were nice supervisors and helped a lot, I do not know for Emma since I did not ask her. As far as I remember David replied quite fast to the mails and to the questions during the project sessions.» (Very good)

- As said before the level of the course was a bit low... expected to learn more, high workload came with Hybrid Vehicles project which was really boring (especially the task 1).» (Low)
- Too little to start with, too much in the end. This was due to the last assignment being much larger than the other ones.» (Adequate)
- last assignment was hard!if the task was described earlier, it would be much easier!» (Too high)

Genomsnitt: 3.51

- Really intersting subject but the organisation of the course is bad. » (Poor)
- Is this course just a way for the department to earn money??» (Poor)
- Good thought but to broad lectures that the exam in the end did not test anyway. One suggestion could be to focus more on less things such as be better in calculating and optimising wind-, solar-, hydroenergy and electric cars. » (Fair)
- I thought it would be more future systems studied. It felt like my lack of electronic background made some parts hard to understand. But it was overall a great course with good lectures and assignments. » (Good)
- But please add more electrical engineering in it. Give a separate course to students of electric power on this subject so that we will be able to gain more.» (Good)
- Bet course i have taken so far.» (Excellent)
