- To be honest, the 2nd assignment was a bit complicated to carry out. Many of us just ripped off a hand in from a last year student.» (To some extent)
- Haven"t read the goals Hat happened with some of the chapters the students presented for the class? Fibres?» (To some extent)
- I think that multiple choice test has sometimes very random questions asking in not so important things (I could really answer well questions about timber because it was concerning on important topics.)» (To some extent)

- More computer rooms needed. Book rooms for group project.» (Some extent)
- More study rooms are needed» (Some extent)
- Too small lecture hall, people were sitting in the stairs..» (Some extent)
- It is hard to get hold of computers. The lecture hall VK has a very bad fan in the right back of the room - makes it sometimes hard to hear what you are saying!» (Some extent)

- About 40%» (20-40%)
- more to 40 than to 20, sometimes it quite difficult to say because there was more learning for final exam and on the other hand more work for Structural course so I think it was an intention to divide it like this.» (20-40%)
- About 50%, but put in a lot more time than for a regular cours of 7.5 hp» (about 50%)

- Is this really masters level? Multiple choise questions? seriously?!» (Too low)
- I like that there was small assignments and lab reports during the whole course, even though I thought it was a bit too less time for self studies. Again, the availability of the questions would have helped me get out more of my time. I did not learn much during the lessons unfortunately.» (Adequate)
- So many smaller tasks (lab report, assignment, presentations) makes it a bit stressful. Make the assignment greater and the number of them less.» (Too high)
