I don"t know/have not been examined yet» 4 8%

Genomsnitt: 2.84

- Too many guidelines in the exam and many questions that have been explicitly answered in lectures. The exam tested more of "memorising knowledge" than real understanding.» (To some extent)
- A lot of questions on the exams where too trivial. They didn"t test your understanding. True/false questions doesn"t feel serious enough. The underlining task was just confusing. Better if you"re asked to describe something or give arguments for something.» (To some extent)
- Perfectly» (Yes, definitely)
- The trial exam was a good exercise that assessed the whole course so far.» (I don"t know/have not been examined yet)

I did not seek help» 4 8%

45 svarande

Poor» 0 0%

Fair» 2 4%

Adequate» 5 11%

Good» 25 55%

Excellent» 13 28%

Genomsnitt: 4.08

- It"s to basic, one already know almost everything.» (Adequate)
- better time management in presenting lectures and not giving too much lectures ,and focusing more on lab activities.» (Good)
- The computer lab was a bit hard to understand.» (Good)
- The exam was a bit inconsistent.» (Good)
- I would recommend this course to those who are interested in electrical engineering. I was not at all interested in electric machines when I started this course (I chose it because I need 30 hp of electrical engineering at master"s level), but I am definitely much more interested now and I do not regret one bit that I chose it. The course promotes the field of electric drives very well.» (Excellent)
- One of the best course that I have taken at Chalmers, the teachers were very good» (Excellent)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Sonja, the book, the hand-outs being handed out before the class starts...very good!»
- The labs (the short lab report was superb)»
- almost everything, it"s hard to figure out»
- labs were very good, good with half time exam»
- Everything but...»
- The professor who was very good teacher. Handouts were good.»
- Trial exam»
- The lab and the lab report. The good lecture slides.»
- Sonja is a very good lecturer. keep her!!»
- That Tarik did a little lecture before the tutorial. Very good! And the pictures and video on the home page.»
- Tarik»
- The true/false quizzes at the lectures. Both fun and it feels like you take an active part in the lectures.»
- the course materials and handouts. »
- Nothing»
- Slides, so one doesn"t have to take notes.»
- Handouts, trial exam. »
- Lab 1 video»
- same contents»
- Lab test, trial exam, the teachers»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Increased number of pages allowed for the lab report, and the possibility to dispose the structure more freely. Very unchallanging with these strict guidelines for the report. More computer simulation assignments would be reasonable, to cover more machine types than only DC.»
- the tutorials, I found them to be bad and unnecessary.»
- Just the information in last parts related to special machines were not enough coherent.»
- Make the course more difficult. (I"m from Chalmers.)»
- the workload»
- Nothing»
- topics are many and are taught in a very short period of time. While this may seem like a common strategy, some of the subjects are rather memorized instead of "learnt". This can help us pass a test, but we will forget soon after.»
- The exam should better represent the focus of the course. It was a bit too simple.»
- I would not say definitely, but three experiments and just one computer lab occasion would be better. »
- Lab 2 - better instructions, maybe a video, I didn"t feel like I knew what to do, or what the goal was.»
- nothing»

16. Additional comments

- Practical work is good, more of that! »
- exams sould be a little harder»
- the general course was handled well.»
- It could be good idea to simulate different type of motors and students work with them to realize the differences and similarities.»
- I would welcome more quizes on the ping-pong. »
- Thought the material was very well prepared and presented. I learned a lot and appreciate the time put into this course.»

- Actually I spent the most of my report making time with fitting it into the size of two pages. » (Small extent)

- Because the lecture slides was handed out i didn"t look at them before the lecture. » (?)
- don"t have time to read before, but very good to have afterwards» (Small extent)
- Not in advance, but during the lecture as well as after when studying for the exam.» (Small extent)
- I looked though them quickly before some lectures. But the times I did, it helped me to be familiar with the content before the lecture. That"s very helpful, since you don"t have to struggle to take in things you haven"t seen before.» (Small extent)
- I don"t believe students have the time to print and prepare prior to classes. The workload is rather intense, and we are trying to just keep our head above water. That is at least my perception, of myself and listening to other students.» (Small extent)
- The slides are good, and it"s awesome that Sonja hand them out before every class.» (Great extent)
