- If by goals are meant the learning outcomes, then these are very specific and detailed and over the course content well. If this refers to the goals in the course memo then it is not as clear.» (The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn)

Genomsnitt: 4.5

- The only negative impression for me is the amount of learning outcomes. Excluding a few could make it possible to work with and understand the other parts better/completely. Learning concepts as such are very good though.» (Good)
- Together with Mech of solids and fluids this was by far the best course I have taken on Chalmers, I really learned alot. The lecture notes made everything quite clear. It is nice when you know what you should learn which was not the case in the material mechanics courses. » (Excellent)
