- Sonja is a good teacher. Johan is not a good teacher. Saeid is a really bad teacher. Please let Sonja give all lecture. » (Some extent)
- Saeid was hard to understand, Sonja was very good and Johan was adequate. » (Large extent)
- Johan and Sonja are good teachers, they are methodical, give clear explanations and follow the schedule. Saied doesn"t do any of the above. At the end of the course I systematically avoided his lectures and tutorials, since he wastes the time talking outside the scope of the lectures and never solves half the amount of problems he should be able to during tutorials. without the slides and tutorial solutions I would have never learned his part of the course!» (Large extent)

- Perhaps do the LAB-signup on course page instead of an analog paper...» (Rather well)
- Overall well, but there was never any clear information on how laboratory work is graded. Also our lab assistant never showed up for one of the labs and we therefore needed had lab unprepared lab assistants that lab and had to come back to do a written test.» (Rather well)
- Use the student portal for file management.» (Rather well)

- Because of Johan and Saied this course becomes really bad. Sonja should give the lectures.» (Poor)
- To much "you are electronic engineers so you should know this...". I"m not an electronic engineer. Just because the course is a part of the electronic engineering does not mean that all participants are electronic engineers. The course is also part of other master programs... (e.g MPSYS)» (Fair)
- I think there should be more exercises, less lectures, but it is my personal overall view.» (Good)
- All the teachers had a good teaching methode.» (Excellent)
- The course is very interesting and it shows at a great extent what it claims to show. I found the tutorials very useful.» (Excellent)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The labs should be preserved»
- Sonja should do all the lectures»
- Saeid is very friendly and he helps us with problems, but sometimes I felt that he was not always very well prepared for the tutorials and he spoke about several not so important things, that confused a lot of students more than it helped.»
- The trial exam and the labs. Johan and Sonja as lecturers and Johan as tutor.»
- Sonja»
- The very fast return on the exams.»
- Labratory experiments should be supervised well!!»
- The laboration is good. The course book! Sonja! »
- Lab»
- The teaching of switched reluctance motors and permanent magnets.»
- Sonia"s lectures»
- The teachers»
- In overall the program was elaborately conducted, so the structure of topics and the order of lecture and tutorials was sequential»
- The tutorials and the program followed. The laboratory is definitely very important»
- Teachers, those like Sonja and Saied, they did a great job.»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Better tutorials»
- More information about the lab report and more space in it, to be able to write what you want without the primary concern being to keep it short. Saied as lecturer and tutor.»
- Do not let Saeid have the lectures or the excercises.»
- One labreport by student (when it is just two pages it would be required for each student to make one themself). »
- the tutorials have to be better prepared by the teacher »
- Teachers»
- The way of teaching some tutorials and theory on induction machines should be more careful and straightforward. The teaching of the types of synchronous machines should be definitely extended. It would be better if not so much effort was put on DC machines and focus more on state of the art types.»
- phd student"s lectures»
- More consistent and clear notations in lecture slides»
- I would explain much more the PI controller espacially for foreign students like me, who have never got any contact with controllers, feed-back loops, Matlab and so on»
- After having completed this course I am ready to write several suggestions and to specify some topics on which the material should be expanded: - synchronous machines (tutorial problem solving), - induction machines and transformer equivalent circuit.»
- Some exercises of the tutorials exceeded the level of the course by far»
- I don"t want to offend anybody, but lectures with Johan often stayed unclear, which lead to deeper self-study.»

16. Additional comments

- The teachers assume that people have a electric bakground and that all will take Electric Drives II and power converter. Do not do that, many are just taking the Electric Drives I and are not going to study anything more in this area.»
- It would be really good to have a "laboration" where you could build your own motor/generator or take one apart. That would be a good exercise!»
- Lecturers should get prepared before getting in class.»
- Very interesting course»
- there was one topic regarding DC drive speed control, so I would recommend to expand the lectures with additional material printed as handouts (not just one that was handed on lecture considering that everyone has sufficient knowledge)and I think that everyone would appreciate teacher"s dedication to the material (not just going through his presentation) and kind of introduction to what this topic deals with. Please, be aware that the students have different background and for somebody it would be difficult to understand the control theory without good references provided by teacher.»
- Very interesting and well guided course»

- Learned some about DC-motor. Don"t really feel that the TA"s need to put 5min on explaining what Matlab/SImulink/Blockdiagram is. Rather put more effort on what Star/Delta connection is and how it works etc. (Might be something you should know, but basic PI-control is also something you should know. A basic control course is demanded for taking the bachelor degree..?)» (Some extent)
- The labs could have been had more substance. My group were done with 1,5 hours to spare both times. Also more clear information about which data should be saved for the second lab and the report would have been helpful.» (Some extent)
- Quite good.» (Some extent)
- When it comes to control the DC-machine» (Large extent)

- To easy» (Small extent)
- Since the assistants weren"t really experts, most of the time was spent learning Matlab/Simulink and not the DC machine and the conclusions could have been reached much easier by an extra lecture, the computer lab felt more like a purpose of it"s own than a good way to learn about the DC machine.» (Some extent)
- I"ve indicated "to some extent" because due to the time limits and the nature of experiment the computer lab was just as calculator without pre-knowledge of what really lays behind the sophisticated equipment. That was just a mean for conducting experiment.» (Some extent)

19. To what extent has the trial exam been of help for your learning?

- Good way to make sure you"re on the right track and to motivate you to start studying early in the course.» (Some extent)
- Harder than the real exam which is strange.» (Some extent)
- Just to get first impression on how it is conducted in Sweden. The problem questions were rather difficult for the course.» (Some extent)
- It always good to have an trial exam!» (Large extent)
- It was a shocking experience but I think it is obligatory and very motivating.» (Large extent)

- ping-pong? Perhaps you should tell us that we have this resource (Or just use one course page instead of two..)» (?)
- did not know there was quizzes» (?)
- We didn"t have any?» (?)
- I haven"t seen them» (?)
- didn"t use them» (?)
- I didn"t use ping pong.» (Small extent)
- Since there are so few questions.» (Small extent)
- Did not know they exist» (Small extent)
- Good way to make sure you"re on the right track. Only reason they weren"t more important was that there weren"t that many questions.» (Some extent)
- Not good that the exact questions with the same alternatives appeared at the laboration test.» (Large extent)

- Filling out a form is not a lab-report.» (Small extent)
- There was no clear information about was is considered a good lab report, and very little space to summarize to labs and a computer lab and make useful conclusions.» (Small extent)
- Worthless...» (Small extent)
- More pages should me allowed, its difficult to answer the questions and to write all the important things for myself in only 2 pages.» (Some extent)
- Large extent but that was due to considerable amount of time I spent on digging theory material by myself» (Large extent)
- Really have to focus on explaining with your own words is a very good way of learning. Max number of pages was so low that it was hard to describe all that you wanted.» (Great extent)

- I wasn"t aware of that they were uploaded before every lecture.» (Small extent)
- The slides were never available ahead of the lectures! Otherwise I definitely would have prepared. The slides were useful to have afterwards though.» (Small extent)
- Saied and Johans slides were messy and hard to understand.» (Some extent)
- It was not always the case that the slides used in the lecture were uploaded before class.» (Large extent)
- Slides were prepared rather in a good pattern. They helped us a lot as an additional material.» (Large extent)

- I think if the lectures can be given by one lecturer, that will be better. » (Small extent)
- Sonja should have all the lectures» (Small extent)
- Sonja should give all the lectures. Johan could work if he improves and do not stress. Saeied wil probably never be good enough. » (Small extent)
- I was confused by the philoshphy of different lecturers in different topics!! But Sonja is the best of all!!She manage the class well!! I would like the course if she teach e the whole lectures!!» (Small extent)
- I would rather base the lecturers on Sonja and Saeid Haghbin. The rest of lecturers poorly performed.» (Small extent)
- Ms Sonja was one of the best lectures I"ve been ever cooperate with.» (Small extent)
- Sonja >>> Johan > Saed» (Some extent)
- Two out of three lecturers were good, and of course it"s an advantage if the lecturers know the area the teach very well. I don"t see any inherent advantages to having many lecturers though. It"s harder to get a complete picture of the course and prioritize right.» (Some extent)
- It is often easier to follow when one teacher holds all lectures. In this case it feels like the teachers had a good separation between who says what when.» (Some extent)
- It is ok when there are two different persons holding the lectures, when there are more it can be a bit harder to get a red line through the whole course. I still prefer when there is one have all the lectures though. » (Some extent)
- As mentioned above, lectures with Johan were unclear.» (Some extent)
- It felt like it was several experts.» (Large extent)
