1. Introduction

1.1 Contents of the report This report contains the quantitative data from the semester evaluation of the autumn semester 2019. The qualitative data has been processed internally and in confidentiality by the Study Board for Energy. The quantitative data concerning the evaluation of all the courses and the questions regarding harassment and abusive behavior have 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 programmes and their study environment. In this evaluation there is a marked improvement in how the students have evaluated the physical study environment in Aalborg compared to the two earlier evaluations. This could be attributed to the move away from the group rooms in Fibigerstræde 2p and Kroghstræde 6. However, there are still a few complaints especially regarding the indoor climate in Badehusvej/Strandvejen and the noise levels in Fib15. AAU is currently doing an inspection into the indoor climate and the climate will be regulated in 2020 with the current ventilation system. In the coming years AAU will explore whether further investments are needed. If the problems persist, please continue to notify us. Regarding Fib15, the Department is currently exploring whether to continue with having group rooms in this location, but it is very difficult to find and finance alternative locations. In the evaluation of the social aspects of the study environment some students have noted that they would like more social activities across groups and study programmes and better integration of the international students. Because of this, the Study Board has formed a committee to help facilitate more social activities. 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.
