- The course book is well written but the presentations are suffering on a lack of motivating teaching skills. The exeption is the teacher who talked about pulp mills and other stuff at the beginning and a bit later about HEX network. The whole contant should be presented in a way like he did!!!» (Small extent)
- Very little help from lectures. Much more more learned when asking questions during the project hours.» (Some extent)
- Sometimes the lectures were with very support of the slides, and less explanation. For the next time, maybe do more exercises in the lectures as example.» (Some extent)
- There were so many hours of lectures. I believe that the same information could have been presented during a shorter time» (Some extent)
- I think that the teaching of all 3 lecturers I recall, are not professional from the style of presenting and all lack basic principles of presenting.» (Some extent)
- As the lessons were exactly the same information as in the compendium without any further hints or discussions it was mostly more useful to study on its own with the compendium» (Some extent)
- The lectures were most of the time not so usefull, as it was just repetition of the course book. » (Some extent)
- Especially the guiding through the projects!» (Great extent)

- The compendium is really clear and easy to understand (with the examples etc.).» (Large extent)
- The book was great.» (Large extent)
- I think the compendium is really good.» (Great extent)
- Not everybody learns better from going to class than from reading. I prefer reading, and with the great course litterature you have, you should tell people that the same information is gone through in the lectures as given in the litterature.» (Great extent)
- The course book is awesome!» (Great extent)
- Maby go over the course literature and clarify a couple of paragraphs. It sometimes seemed as if there were some information missing in the text, it just ended with a statment and no further explenation.» (Great extent)

- Good if you dont want to read in the book.» (Moderate)
- Sometimes the lectures were with very support of the slides, and less explanation. For the next time, maybe do more exercises in the lectures as example.» (Moderate)
- Since they were going through everything so slowly, it felt like it was hard to focus sometimes.» (Moderate)
- The lectures should be adapted to what the students already know (is it important with a thorough description of the steam cycle?).» (Moderate)

- These were really helpful, it feels like I learned 85% of the course here and 15% in the lectures.» (Excellent)
- Its actually a great idea to do it that way. » (Good)
- Would be better to present them on the blackbord and write and explain in class rather then just show slides» (Good)
- We coudl not solve the exercises at the same time as the teacher did. Thus it did not bring so much during the demo. Maybe more after, when we try to do it at home.» (Moderate)
- Maby focus more on the part were the students hade some time to solve a problem, otherwise you just look at the slides and don"t learn as much. » (Moderate)
- The Demo lectures were rather boring, because a lot of the foregoing lecture was just repeated. The time of the demos would have been better invested in more time within the projects.» (Moderate)
- The demo lectures are maybe what can be improved til next year. Everything else in the course was very well planned but I got the impression that the demo lectures were not, not always. Maybe it is better if the teacher demostrate the whole exercise and then people can ask question. Some of the demo worked well but sometimes it felt that there wern"t enough time to do it well.» (Moderate)
- The TA Matteo has not been to much help, only saying if the result is wrong, but poor guiding. I went to viktor andersson or elin svensson and there got help.» (Poor)

- Good projects but I think the last problem could have been ended a bit earlier. The last week one want to study for the upcoming exams.» (Excellent)
- Learning by doing is an excellent way of learning. Good instructions, assignments and help.» (Excellent)
- You learned a lot from them.» (Excellent)
- Best part of the lecture, where we had the chance to really understand the content» (Excellent)
- The projects were a very good help to understand the course and to learn how to calculate. My only remark is that the last project (that felt very important and an inporant part in the course) was very big and many students felt that it wasn"t enough time to finish it.» (Excellent)
- It seems like different teachers were unequal when correcting them, maybe you should go through that together before» (Excellent)
- I belive that the assistant should help the sudent with the exercises, but apperently M does not think so.» (Poor)

Genomsnitt: 1.62

- Most difficult one, but where I learned the most.» (Excellent)
- I was slightly terrified that all projects would be as large as project 1, so maybe more information about that project 1 is quite large compared to the other projects.» (Good)
- A little bit too long but interesting» (Good)
- It was good, but more time is needed. P1 is to huge especially when you are new to everything.» (Good)
- Maby be more clear of what you expect from the handins. » (Good)
- Maybe you should tell the students to check with you if they have constructed a correct pinch network before they countinue. To avoid subsequent errors.» (Good)

Genomsnitt: 1.58

- It definitely interesting to see what the course contents can be used to, but I can"t say that I learned especially much about industrial energy systems from it.» (Very interesting)
- Great with the exercise we had there» (Very interesting)
- Getting away from school is nice for a change, but we didn"t do much there but to sit in their conference room and do calculations. This is something you can do at school. But it WAS interesting to get the guided tour.» (Good but could be improved)
- The tour through Renova was not very good, we could not hear what our guide was telling us. But when our teacher stoped at the heat pumps and took over the mike it was interesting. The exercise, when we used their actual data was good. » (Good but could be improved)
- The tour could have been a little more informative. It would also be great if the tour guide would be confident in speaking english.» (Good but could be improved)
- It was interesting to see a CHP plant, but the calculations and the tasks we had to solve seemed a little unnecessar. » (Good but could be improved)
- It is not really necessary to got there because we could not see so . The part with the Heat pumps was really good!» (Good but could be improved)
- We couldn"t hear anything during the tour because of a tech. failure. I understand that this was just bad luck but it worsen my imprssion of the laboratory.» (Good but could be improved)
- We were at another similar plant in Udevalla in Heat and power systems engineering and it felt as if everything was just repetition.» (Not Interesting)
- Did a 2 month internship at sävenäs combined with a not at all challenging assignment it was quite uninteresting.» (Not Interesting)

- In the first lecture she seemed a bit nervous and unsure of herself, but after that she was great! She described things very well and pointed out what was important. Also good that presentations were available at course webpage before the lectures. » (Excellent)
- I actually prefer if the lectures are as long as the schedule says, instead of ending half an hour early (which sometimes were the case). Also I thought the explanation on how the method on optimizing energy sources was poorly explained.» (Good)
- needs to show more self confidence» (Good)
- Good lecture, but difficult to understand because Elin doesn"t speak that loud and there are around 100 persons in the room.» (Good)
- She just didn"t have a skilled way of teaching.» (Moderate)
- Sometimes the lectures were with very support of the slides, and less explanation. For the next time, maybe do more exercises in the lectures as example.» (Moderate)
- Sometimes it seemed like she wasn"t really prepared for the lecture, and it was then hard to follow what she was telling us. » (Moderate)
- She seemed to be a littöe distracted every now and then.» (Moderate)
- There was a lack of passion and no enthusiasm noticeable. I guess, if Elin would be little more open and joky, the lectures would be perfect. Because from the content side, the lectures are ok.» (Moderate)

- DIfficult to see where he wanted us to come. And too long to do all the background/foreground methodology in 4 hours in a raw... It would have been better to split it, because it was to many new things at the same time.» (Moderate)
- I can"t say exactly why, but I still have no idea how an evaporator nor a distillation column works.» (Moderate)
- Too much slides and too much information in that amount of time. It may not be due to Matteo, but these lectures felt a bit blurry» (Moderate)
- He explained quite simple things in a complex way. I didn"t understand what he was talking about at all during the lectures, and afterwards when I got what he had been talking about I was able to go through it myself and it wasn"t that hard. Maybe Matteo and I just don"t think the same way.» (Poor)

- I would had preferred a nicer tone on his e-mails.» (Good)
- sometimes Matteo could be quite unpleasant. Laughing at us when we asked him something. He didn"t listen when we asked something, he just assumed that we were asking something we didn"t and started explaining the wrong thing. But in the end we sort of got to know him and how he is and then it wasn"t too bad. I just know that he made some people upset when being rude. » (Moderate)
- Matteo was good, but he would save a lot of time by being a bit more patient to listen to the full question when helping out. Quick to assume and interupting the question with an non relevant answer.» (Moderate)
- Sometimes he didn"t let us finish our questions and just started answering what he thought we needed.» (Moderate)

- Much have already been covered in earlier courses, but the rest was interesting.» (Fair)
- The Pinch Analysis is a very useful methodology. Even if I am not sure to use it in the future for a thesis or a job, I am really happy to know how to apply it.» (Good)
- I found the course really interesting. There are always things that can be better but overall the structure is quite good. Only some minor additions in the litterature and some restructuring of the lectures are needed. » (Good)
- The projects were really helpful but the lectures were confusing. I"m sorry i do not have a solution but if the lectures can be made more interesting then the course can be expanded more» (Good)
- It was good. But more about distillations columns would be great. I myself was very weak when it came to distillation columns.» (Good)
- It was very hands on and I feel like I will remember most of it even after the exam» (Excellent)
- I think it was a very interesting course.» (Excellent)
