Goals and goal fulfilmentThe course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.3. How understandable are the course goals?22 svarande
I have not seen/read the goals» | | 4 | | 18% |
The goals are difficult to understand» | | 1 | | 4% |
The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer» | | 6 | | 27% |
The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn» | | 11 | | 50% |
Genomsnitt: 3.09 - The general purpose with the course was clear, but what to expect for the exam and how the exam was supposed to differ between the two courses, was not clear until the last lecture. That kind of information, I think, you should get without even going to the lecture.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- Questions during the home assignments were not very clear, and not easy to understand.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
4. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.18 svarande

Yes, definitely» | | 7 | | 31% |
I don"t know/have not been examined yet» | | 8 | | 36% |
Genomsnitt: 2.95 - Some of the questions was really good. But too much electrical components compared to what is taught in the course. Describing functions is not described well at all in the course so it is a bit strange that such a large part of the exam was about this subject. Better solutions to the exams that is provided and earlier in the course. More than three of them would be good also.» (To some extent)
- The exam was okey, except for the last question (op-amp circuit). This topic has not been covered in lectures at all, and in the exercises we have not done anything on positive feedback circuits. So I think this question was irrelevant for the course and unfair.» (To some extent)
- We haven"t worked with this type of questions so much, the exam was to difficult. It didn"t matches what we have calculated.» (To some extent)
- Some of the problems was more complicated than what we was learned during the classes. » (Yes, definitely)

Some extent» | | 12 | | 57% |
Large extent» | | 3 | | 14% |
Great extent» | | 1 | | 4% |
Genomsnitt: 2 - Jonas is messy and hard to understand. Lacks structure and presents new material sloppy. Esteban mumbles and has unintressesting material. He manage to make a interesting subject really boring. The excercise sessions are worthless since the tutor only calculates one excercise. The solutions given at the homepage are really bad and hard to read because of low quality of the scanning. Volvo guest lecture good. ABB not so good.
Nikolce is ok.» (Small extent)
- Lectures has been decent and interesting, but they did not help to pass the exam. » (Small extent)
- Exercise session were not useful. It would be useful if the teacher corrects more exercises (at least more than 2 per session).» (Great extent)

Large extent» | | 7 | | 31% |
Great extent» | | 1 | | 4% |
Genomsnitt: 2.27 - The book is quite bad. To be able to use it better reading instructions must be developed. Microprocessor chapter is worthless.» (Some extent)
- I did not like the book. Some topics are very briefly described while others are described too much.» (Some extent)
- Maybe the exercise paper could be covering more problems, now it was just old exams exercises and to be able to learn some easier and some harder problems would be good to have. » (Some extent)

Genomsnitt: 3.59 - There were only the consultancies. The computer exercises did not fit at all in the schedule with the hand-ins. Considering that we have another course it was not time enough to get to the point where we need to ask questions, before the computer exercise.» (Very poor)
- Very good support by the assistants and the teacher.» (Very good)

Genomsnitt: 3.09 - We haven"t worked with this type of questions so much, the exam was to difficult. It didn"t matches what we have calculated.» (?)
- One of the most interesting subject but one of the worst courses i have studied at Chalmers.» (Poor)
- I had quite high expectations for this course. I thought it would be more practical.» (Fair)
- If you read the Automation och Mekatronik program this course was just a repetition. The part about op-amps and transistors that was more difficult was not spend so much time on. It was good with repetition but something new would be nice.» (Adequate)
- Lectures and the book were very interesting, however exercise sessions were not very helpful to understand the course. Concerning the assignments, they are interesting and useful to understand the course, but the questions could be more clearly stated.» (Good)
14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- Assigments with bonus points»
- The paper reading assignments.»
- The content»
- The attitude of the staff to help the students.»
- The guest lecture about sensors was very interesting.»
- The problem solving sessions. They were good.»
- The guest lectures and the paper reading assignment.»
- Paper reading, I think it was good to learn reading and reflecting over papers.»
- Lecture (slides), guest lectures, the book»
15. What should definitely be changed to next year?- The amount of homework with the computer assignments»
- There is in fact a litle difference between what we are taught in the lectures and what is actually done in the exercise session...»
- There should be more hand-ins and laboratory exercises. The parts of the book that the course covers should be more specific, not only "Ch 8" or similar, rather the specific pages that are relevant should be mentioned in the PM, since the textbook contains a lot of unnecessary text. »
- Method of teaching or something»
- It was sometimes a bit hard for me to follow the lecture, but to be honest I have no idea how to present C-programming etc. better...»
- Skip the scientific paper reading part. Problem solving sessions should focus more on solving problems, so that it is shown how the theory from the lectures is applied.»
- The teacher»
- Change the teacher and examinator and re-plan the whole course. Esteban can not teach.»
- The possibilities to consultancy, at the computer labs.»
- Maybe the home assignments could be rewritten so that this would be more difficult. The last one, choosing gear and motor, was not so good because it was just to use matlab and gave no new knowledge. Also to make the lecture more interesting. If you read MPSYS you will know about the microprocessor and also the simple C-code. Make this lectures more interesting or exchange them to another subject that isn"t just repetition. »
- I think a formula sheet handed out is better than own note sheets.»
- exercise session, assignments»
16. Additional comments- Esteban: Has great knowledge, but can"t teach in a good manner.
Jonas: Same thing as for Esteban
Mattias Brännström: Worst teaching assistant ever on Chalmers.
Nikolce: Thumbs up!»
- Laboratories are good. Needs better PM. First assignment badly written and do not explain anything. Second assignment is badly written but good.
»
- We haven"t worked with this type of questions so much, the exam was to difficult. It didn"t matches what we have calculated.»
- I would learn a lot more from the 2nd computer assignments by getting proper comments on the choices we made.»
- The assignments overall could have been more well formulated to better convey the tasks and become less ambiguous.»
- I think that the course would be perfect, if more exercises are solved during the exercise session and if the assignment"s questions are more clear.»
