- He may know the material, but the structure of the lectures and his language is very difficult to follow. He needs to work on his grammar and pronunciation.» (Really bad)
- Gets the impression that he hasn"t been a teacher for very long. Could improve his blackboard planning since the text tend to cram up and it"s hard to follow the reasoning.» (So and so)
- Just needs more experience» (So and so)
- Erik is knowledgable person and could be a good candidate to be the instructor of this course. But his only weak point is, he could not transfer his ideas to his audiences. I mean teaching and helping people to know what you wanted to teach them is a great skill.» (So and so)
- I think the topics where mostly interesting, and I also think that the set-up was, but the pace was too slow, and the english pronounciation could be better, making the lectures easier to follow.» (So and so)
- I think he will be very good with some practice.» (So and so)
- Large parts of the teaching was good, but sometimes it was a bit unstructured and it was not very easy to follow the lectures.» (So and so)
- He is a very good teacher in Swedish. But he can not convey what he wishes to say using the English language.» (So and so)

- Havent been to all the lectures, but the once I did visit were nice!» (Good)
- A bit shaky at first but very good towards the end of the course» (Good)
- Positive improvements from the first to the last lecure! So the end grade of the last lectures would be good.» (Good)
- Could use some thought about what is the (teaching) goal with each lecture. Might be a good idea to outline at the beginning of each lecture what will be covered.» (Good)
- Sometimes he struggles to explain certain things and he do not always suceed. Can be overcome. He seems engaged and I get a feeling that he wants to do the best for the students. Available to answer questions and he is open for suggestions on how to improve the course, and aware of that the course can be improved.» (Good)

- The computer labs are good but the queue is too long to allow for question asking while solving the problems. This forces you to complete the homework problems before hand and just show the results.» (I prefer writing reports)
- It was very informal, with a friendly atmosphere, and very time-efficient. Not very hard though.» (I did not need to ask questions during the labs, I appreciated the possibility to ask questions)
- With this method focus is put on actually solving the tasks, which i believe is really good! » (I appreciated the possibility to ask questions, I liked this form of examination)
- In this course four lab home works and one project were too heavy. I think it would be better to lessen the number of homeworks or if it should be four, it is better to give people the primary/sample codes of the programs and ask students to improve them rather than inventing the wheel again. Like what Mattias does in his courses. I could learn the Genetic Algorithm by his sample codes and its sample codes is a GA class for one who wanted to learn the GA. By this way, every year students will add some new things to the codes and more educatinal value will be added than just re-writing the same codes. As i checked, lots of teachers in different countries give the sample codes.» (I appreciated the possibility to ask questions, I used the possibility to ask questions, I liked this form of examination)
- Compared with other courses I have taken, I have found to be more efficient to show our work directly in the labs instead of writing reports because: 1) It is more efficient since we don’,t lose time writing reports and we can focus on solving the exercises. 2) The feedback given by the professors and assistants are useful.» (I appreciated the possibility to ask questions, I liked this form of examination)
- I would like the examination to be faster, either by increasing the number of examiners or by making separate lines for examination and questions. Waiting for more than an hour just to get examined felt like a waste of time.» (I did not need to ask questions during the labs, I liked this form of examination)
- this examination form was very good, and ample for this type of class. I don"t think there was time to ask any questions.» (I did not need to ask questions during the labs, I liked this form of examination)

- The questions ask for previously undefined (or poorly defined) concepts. The questions need to be clearer.» (Too hard, They took too much time, I learned a lot from the exercises, The questions where too vague)
- Could been uploaded a bit earlier, one problem was uploaded 2 hours before the labtime.» (Good level, I learned a lot from the exercises)
- The later questions was to hard/time-heavy and the earlier was (a little bit) too easy.» (Too easy, Too hard, Good level, I learned a lot from the exercises)
- The first two assignments were too easy. The third was OK and the last one really good!» (Too easy, Good level)
- Gives you a good understanding of what can be done.» (Good level, The time requirements was well balanced)
- Unbalanced in terms of how easy the initial ones were and how difficult the last ones became.» (Good level, I did not learn that much by doing the home problems)
- One extra full lab may have been useful to tie up any loose ends. Possibly moving the final few labs a week forward to give more of a break before handing in the project may have been useful.» (Good level, They took too much time, I learned a lot from the exercises)
- Some questions were to vague and totally they needed lots of time which had bad effect on the quality of the work.» (Too hard, They took too much time, I learned a lot from the exercises, The questions where too vague)
- I think it is difficult to find a level on the home exercise that satisfy both students with very little experience in and students with lots of experience. I think the solution is to include subquestions in each exercise on different levels - the first ones really "easy" and the last ones really "difficult" to make all students satisfied. I think the homeproblems were well-formulated and the questions really clear - there was no confusion for me on what to do (just how to do it sometimes) Good!» (I learned a lot from the exercises)
- They didn"t take that much time, they could have been bigger. Though, I think that even if they were quite specific, I learned many simulation-oriented things with broad applications.» (Good level)
- The mistakes on the last examples sheet were very bad. I lost a lot of time trying to get the "correct" answer, and it finally turned out that I had gotten the correct answer at the beginning. The example sheet had the wrong answer (and was still incorrect after the first mistake was corrected).» (Good level, The time requirements was well balanced, The questions where too vague, I would have liked more open ended questions)
- The problems were well-guided and described. From easy tasks to challenging ones they were well mixed» (Good level, The time requirements was well balanced)
- I think the questions were perfectly posed! do not change them. there was a clear aim in sight and it was posible to individual chose how to get there,m perfect balance» (Good level, The time requirements was well balanced, I learned a lot from the exercises)
- This was so hlefpul and easy! Do you have any articles on rehab?» ()

- Some of the problems had very similar tasks and a few seemed repetitive. Perhaps it would be better to have more diverse problems and to cover task variations differently, maybe by asking more questions per problem or letting the student decide (and discuss, compare) choices of solutions. It was very nice to work with published material/real data. If possible, this should be kept.» (Good level, The time requirements was well balanced)

- Did not feel that the course had any real structure. The lectures where on very different topics which made it feel like we didn"t really learn anything, just scratch some surfaces. There was no litterature to read. Everything I learned in this course was during the homeproblems which I found interesting. I also find it would have been better it the projects where more structured. Maybe you could have some topics premade which people are able to choose from. Then have an early deadline with some action plan hand-in to confirm that the groups have formed and started working. To check that groups are actualy working it might be good to have at least two scheduled meetings with the supervisors.» (Fair)
- This was so hlefpul and easy! Do you have any articles on rehab?» (Fair)
- I think would be nice with something more of a red thread throughout the course» (Adequate)
- Not too challenging, but it does not have to be. » (Good)
- The chance to study an open ended project this early in the programme has been good. The homework problems set in this course have given a good overview of different aspects of complex systems.» (Good)
- The overlap with previos courses for Teknisk Matematik was to big. A lot of the lectures were very similar to lectures in Miljö och Matematisk Modellering.» (Good)
