1. Introduction

1.1 Contents of the report This report contains the quantitative data from the semester evaluation of the spring semester 2019. The qualitative data has been processed internally and in confidentiality by the Study Board for Energy. Likewise, the quantitative data concerning the evaluation of all the courses has been processed in confidentiality and will not be reproduced in this report.

1.2 Follow-up on the results

Overall, the evaluation shows that the students are predominantly satisfied with their study programs and their study environment. Concerning the physical study environment in Aalborg, however, there is room for improvement. Like the previous semester evaluation of the autumn semester 2018, several students note a dissatisfaction with the group rooms in the temporary locations Fibigerstræde 2p and to a lesser degree Kroghstræde 6. Since these locations are no longer in use, the Study Board hopes to see an improvement regarding the physical study environment in the current autumn semester 2019. The Study Board will track this closely in the coming evaluations. In addition, the students have pointed out some issues regarding some of the courses. These issues have been handled by the Study Board in cooperation with the teachers in question and the semester coordinators. It is also worth pointing out that many of the courses were evaluated very favorably by the students and given praise in the comments. The positive comments have also been communicated to the relevant teachers by the Study Board.
