Genomsnitt: 2.44

- The teaching was on some theory of mission statements, diesel engines etc (with Francesco) but the project demanded from us much deeper knowledge on engine dimensioning and electrical balance (especially those two parts I think). The electrical balance done in the projects was a complete out of the blue call... the numbers were guessed because we were lacking information. Same thing for the engine dimensioning, we could have some time given in the lecture to explain how to properly chose an engine from a given power. I felt like we just googled a bunch of engine brands and picked one that somewhat matched a power requirement. Is that how they do it in the real world?» (To some extent)
- Make it clearer and start with it earlier and set high goals.» (To some extent)
- It felt like the project was 100% of the course. The project was very good and it should be kept that way, we learned a lot. However, the exam should be harder since it was a walk in the park in comparison with the effort we put on the project.» (Yes)

Genomsnitt: 3.33 (bidrar till totalt genomsnitt/jämförelseindex)

- Except for the propeller lectures, the rest of them was pretty poor.» (Fair)
- In general the course content is fine but the it is unstructured. For instance we should know from the beginging of the design project that it counts 60 % procents. Everybody in the class thought it was 50-50 between the exam and the project. » (Adequate)
- I really liked the course because hydrodynamics is what I want to work with later on. Also engine stuff and supporting systems on the ship are very interesting topics I think. I was hooked.» (Good)
- Even if some lecture sessions was bad, the course overall is very good. Im happy with it.» (Excellent)
