The feedback about our report was written in detail and very well explained afterwards. Finn is basically always available and his answers are very comprehensible and encourages me to get to know even more information about certain topics then sometimes needed when considering the content of the course. Undervisningsmaterialet er fantastisk godt og let forståeligt, selvom det nogle gange indeholder kompleks matematik. Vi havde kun kontakt til Finn Jacobsen én gang mht. laboratorieøvelsen, men feedback var rigtig god.

His explanations is mostly understandable also because he tries really hard to put it in the way it is actually much easier to understand. Jeg synes det har været gode og spændende lektioner.

5 Page 9 of 11 Schema C Comments 35 have answered this evaluation form 57,38%answer percentage : 35 / (61-3) 1 Qualitative comments 1. 1 What went well and why?(14 answers) The repport in room acoustics really gave a good "hands on" experience of the theory. The course was generally very well structured and it supported other courses as Acoustic Communication and electrostatic acoustics. It was nice to attend introduction to PDE course to get insight about PDE, so it was much easier to understand physical principle of wave equation used quite a lot in the course and especially in lecture notes. The laboratory exercise was nice, the practical part of acoustic was really exciting to experience and connect it with the theory. It could be a bit more of these examples thou if it would be possible, but generally with other courses, the reports were/are very time consuming. The student assistance vere awesome, it's so good idea to put students as assistants, since I personally do not want to ask some trivial questions to some experienced teacher, but I do to these well prepared students. God koordenering mellem forelæsninger og grupperegningsopgaver. The presentation of the various topics was very stimulating. I think the course is very well realized and i could learn lots of things. The exercises are very helpfull. Forelæsningerne er gode. Grupperegning efterfølgende fungere godt. I like the fact that every professor teaches about the subject they are experts in. It is also nice to have the opportunity to meet the different members of the department in this introductory course. En rigtig god laboratoriøvelse med fine opgaver der relaterer til teorien. Gode grupperegningsopgaver, men muligvis lidt for kort tid til at lave øvelserne i. I de fleste andre kurser er grupperegningstiden 2 timer i stedet for 1 - og det føler jeg mig mere tilpas med. De fleste af forelæsningerne var rigtig gode med godt, relevant indhold. Forelæsninger er indholdsmæssigt af passende størrelse. Det udførte forsøg synes jeg gik godt. Det er alt tid sjovt med praktiske opgaver. In general the lectures were really interesting. And the problems, as well. The students helping us with the problems were really helpful! Many branches of acoustics covered. Several practical experiments to actually show what happens. lab exercise: practical application of theory Lab exercise was enjoyable. Omfattende og spændende introduktion til akustik som var til at følge med for en der ikke havde haft de samme matematiske og elektroniske kurser som de fleste andre 1. 2 What did not go so well and why?(14 answers) There is simply to many teachers!!! As a student, I got the impression that nobody really held the responsibility of preparing me to an exam. I was ill twice for the lectures, and thought I'd make the group calculations before noon but at home instead. Though those two days, the file with the questions weren't uploaded yet at that point (one time it got uploaded 11.30, the other it weren't uploaded when I checked at 3pm)... I don't know if that have

6 Page 10 of 11 been the case the other days as well, or if I was just unlucky those two days. But maybe they could be uploaded a bit sooner next year? later durring the exercise it was kind of demanding to finish the tasks in one hour, so it only added up self studying at home and took some time of preparing for next lecture. Svær opstart. Jeg kunne mærke at mange blev tabt grundet det svære teori, hvorimod senere forelæsninger omhandlede mere grundlæggende ting. Change teacher almost every week for the lecture is affecting negatively the learning process. Forelæsningerne bliver meget lange, specielt set i forhold til den meget korte grupperegning. It may be difficult to connect so many different concepts with each other, since the contents are very variate. Study sessions. Not enough time to be productive. Better off going home first. Forelæsning omkring sound absorption var om et interessant emne, men med en dårlig forelæser (gæsteforelæser udefra). For lidt grupperegningstid. Jeg synes regneopgaverne går mindre godt. Det er ok svære opgaver og der er kun en time, med hjælpelærer. Jeg plejer at lave opgaverne der hjemme og stiller spørgsmål til efterfølgende undervisningstime, men det er ikke altid at hjælpelærerne har materialet fra sidste gang med og det synes jeg er lidt irriterende. I am not so fond of DTU s teaching method, having the exercise session directly after the lecture. I would prefer to have it another day or the exercise sheet few days in advance, so that I can try to solve it my self first. Often, the one hour for the problems was not sufficient, as I needed more time to solve everything. Too long lectures, and attempts to include student participation appearantly doesn't work, as noone answers the questions, and thus it takes a long time. two and a half hours for lectures is too long, and i think some of the stuff was covered several times, almost as if you only needed every second lecture (almost), because of overlapping subjects. sometimes a bit too theoretical 1. 3 What changes would you suggest for the next time the course is offered?(11 answers) Less teachers, and more continuity in the subjects/teachers. More laboratory exercise, but compensate the load of work with other subjects, or make more sessions shorter. There could have been a couple of more laboratory exercises and the one present could have been graded. I would suggest to keep the same teacher for, at least, the same topic. Man burde flytte 30 min af tiden fra forelæsningerne til grupperegningen. Det er vigtigt at have tid til at tænke selv. more practical exercises. Mere grupperegningstid og bedre forelæsere (kun nogle af dem var dårlige). Jeg kunne godt tænke mig en læseliste, så det er muligt at forberede sig bedre til lektionerne. Jeg er bestemt ikke helt fortrolig med læsematerialet og derfor kunne det have været dejligt med en læsevejledning. Det virker som om at flere af underviserne bruger matlab til at lave modeller, tror det kunne være lærerigt at måske lave nogle matlab opgaver til regneopgaverne. Tror måske det kunne fremme forståelsen. Exercise sheets + lectures uploaded in advance. the lab exercise tried to cover almost the entire content of the curriculum and it felt a bit like a quick run through each subject. Maybe divide it into two parts and then extend the measurments in each part.
