- Here I want to emphatize that the teacher were great, but the lectures we had were of no use. The computer labs were of greatest importance but if they replaced the intro. lectures and taken them a bit slower it would have been appriciated. » (Some extent)
- The exercise with solusion should be handed out before class.» (Large extent)

- COMSOL (3.5) did not exist on our computers and on the few ones that worked, other problems were found with comsol such as connection with matlab etc..., much time went initally to find computers that worked. Assignments should have been spread out over the all the course with different deadlines.» (Very badly)

- It"s not possible to answer the question like this. As mentions before, the workload got extreme in the end of the course when a) Seminar should be done b) assignments should be handed in and c) project should be done, written and presented in total two weeks» (Adequate)
- It is a suggestion that the workload be distributed starting from the first week of the study period itself. For example the final project tasks can be assigned first so more time is spent on it.» (High)
- work load was nothing at the begging» (Too high)

- Excellent if we could have an assignment where we more thoroughly went through error analysis and gained more knowledge in how to determine how good your solutions are. Maybe both a priori and a posteriory way. This was done to some extent but not enough.» (Good)

14. Is there a need for restructuring of the course? If “,yes”,, what should be a new course format?

Yes»		5		25%
No»		15		75%

Genomsnitt: 1.75

- Redistribute work load. The figures speaks for themself: Assignemts: 28% grade but 4 weeks of time. Seminar: 16% grade but 1 week of time. Project: 56% grade but 1 week of time. And all this is compressed into a 4 week time since we have lectures the first three weeks that are not really that important to concentrate. » (Yes)
- Assignments should be started to be given when the theory lecture is going on not when it is finished so that there is more time to do it instead of overloaded at the end.» (Yes)
- The course format can be changed to something like this: - Assigning of the different task for electrical, magnetic etc. can be done simultaneously with their respective lectures during the week.So extra time for explaining the background will not be required. - the final project description be assigned to the groups so that they have more time to work on it.» (Yes)
- The workload was too high in the second half of the course, but quite low in the first weeks. Hence it would be better to increase the workload during the first weeks so that there is more time to finish all assignments and projects.» (Yes)
