- the lab excercies were a vital part in understanding about mixed signals, esp refelection questions» (Yes)
- the labs and the lab reports took too much time to administrate. Use time for learning and understanding the lab problems was lost there.» (To some extent)

- too detail lab guidance sometimes is not good. it makes the disturbance of the "big picture" of that lab. each lab PM should be ~3-4 pages at most. students need to put the effort of thinking how to use the tools. of course it will take more time, however we can study the tool better.» (Good)

17. A demo session replaced the lab session in the last week. What was your opinion of this mode of teaching?

Adequate»		4		33%
Fair»		1		8%

Genomsnitt: 1.5

- We had time to see, reflect, ask and understand the demonstrated problem rather than putting lots of time on the administration part of ordinary labs. » (Good)
- The concept was well taught. It was really good» (Good)
- its content was interesting. however I did not remember much: just enjoyed the lecturer"s show time :) it"s better to be another student"s lab. why not, right?» (Adequate)

No»		1		7%

- Maybe put up the recitation slides. When at the lab you remembered something brought up in the recitation but could not check it.» (Good)
- i did not attend as it"s conflict with another class» (Adequate)

20. Did the feedback of the reports (lab + reflection) help you to improve the final submission report?

No»		1		7%
To some extent»		3		23%

Genomsnitt: 1.53

- Feedback was a great help and it helped a lot» (?)
- it should be informed sooner about the 1-column report rule» (Yes)
- the feedback was not helpful with few exceptions. » (No)
- It would have been useful if atleast 75% of our mistake in lab report was pointed out in feedback. The feedback was not so good to correct all the mistakes in the final report submission.» (To some extent)
- Not much feedback but looking at my grade, maybe it was not needed and feedback for unnecessary improvement would just increase the work load.» (To some extent)

- nice idea!» (Good)
- The optional deadlines lowers stress» (Good)
- It is really good procedure to be carried out next year, it lessens the last minute burden» (Good)
- It was good idea and can be improved with better feedback that explains the misunderstanding and/or the problem.» (Poor)

Fair»		1		7%
Poor»		2		14%

Genomsnitt: 1.71

- It really tested whether I had undestood the concepts in the report, maybe stretch it to 45 min. But maybe that will be too much for the teachers...» (Good)
- The point of the this exam was said to be "to check those who were NOT active in the labs or did not understood the labs" but I don"t think it gave that result. I think it was good for those who were good at expressing their thoughts in short and stressful time. If that would have been the point then ok no problem.» (Poor)
- The level of the oral examination to pass the course was really higher than expected, and that"s something that after doing all the labs and the reports it should be less important,also because after this you don´,t have enought time to prepare the sit exam.» (Poor)

- It is annoying when you get stuck with a lab partner who is not very good and slow. It does not feel right that I have to spend double the amount of time to make sure that he understands as well. Better with individual labs I would think» (Rather poorly)
- Best lab partner ever! The answer to this question depends very much on which lab partner you recieve.» (Very well)

- It is a rather complex subject with this mixed signal design even though the exam is open book the exams are really hard. It makes you not even want to go to the exam because you know you do not have a chance of increasing your grade. » (Good)
- This is very good course can make it compulsary course for embeddded electronic system design course» (Excellent)
