- WHY the explainations in the lectures slides ARE EXACTLY THE SAME than in the literature material (Kruger in this case) ?????? _ We expected differnt ways to explain, to make topics clearer » (Small extent)
- I feel that I would learn much more if the lectures & tutorials would be like in the HVE style: mostly black board writing and only sometimes the usage of slides. Stanislaws lectures are like story-telling, it"s very intresting while you"re there and listen, and you forget to take notes, but afterwards when you are to look back at it, you discover you have almost no material to look back at.» (Some extent)
- Could be better if there were more blackboard presentations instead of power point. » (Large extent)

The tutorial slides are noticably better, but not enough. Please don"t have slides in the future, and use the blackboad instead, we learn much better in that way.» (Some extent)
- It is better to recommend the students to read Kreuger book and if you can make order some copies to Chalmers libarary that would be great, Kuffel Zaengel book is really killing the time only!» (Large extent)

- Didn"t have a clear goal nor a good plan but the subjects themselves are very interesting.» (Adequate)
- it is an interesting topic» (Adequate)
- The material should be handed out, not forcing us to print... And there should be WAY less slides and much more on the blackboard.» (Adequate)
- Very good and inspiring teachers! The labs was well organized and it is nice that it is enough time so you doesn"t feel stressed» (Good)
- Unfortunately, I don"t think the lectures with professor Gubanski was very good, he was talking about so many different things it was difficult to follow what was important. On the other hand, Yuriy was a good teacher and it was easy to ask questions. He was always very helpful!» (Good)
