- Salsa did not work on one day for unknown reasons. But this was not a big problem.» (Useful, I learned much from it, I had practical problems (please specify below), The instructions were adequate)
- This was a nice and instructive exercise. Should definitely be remained in the course. » (Useful, I learned much from it)
- Hard to download the data to my computer. » (I had practical problems (please specify below), I would have liked more detailed instructions)
- The program QRadio cut the link for no reason once and it also cut the link when I accidently choose galactic coordinates which gave a negative angle with the horizon. Then I had to contact the administrator because the program is designed so that one remains logged in when the link has been broken and no one can therefore log in again (including one self!). This should be changed. One should not be able to choose non-valid coordinates by accident. » (Very useful, I learned very much from it, I had practical problems (please specify below), The instructions were adequate)
- The first time we measured there were problems with brage and we did not get a usable signal but the second time everything went well.» (Useful, I learned much from it, I had practical problems (please specify below), The instructions were adequate)

- An overview of the universe would have been nice in the beginning. But the whole course was kind of an overview so that might be difficult. All in all a really good course with really nice and helpful teachers!» (Good)
- Eskil is really good! He really explained very well. So he receives 4.5/5. To receive 5, maybe he could just give his notes during the exercises so the students maybe could listen and see how he solves. I think many students focuses more to write correct. Anyway he did a perfect job! Magnus and Susanne, did aswell as Eskil really good job. They explained really good.» (Excellent)
- This should be available during the first 3 years as well for those who wish to study astronomy. I will recomend it for younger physics students as one of the optional courses in the third year. » (Excellent)
