Group assignment

29. What is your opinion of the group assignment in general (usefulness, topics...)

- very good.»
- I think is enough to talk about only on one of the topics.»
- Useful, and our topic was interesting.»
- The assignment was very good and interesting. It was a great way of learning. But it was to few pages to fit the aim of choosing two or three subject questions. It would have been better to decrease it to one subject question or increase the number of pages. I would have prefered to increase the number of pages since I though that it was much to learn from the assignment.»
- good»
- Very usefull»
- they were usefull and gave us the opportunity to study deeper the chosen topics»
- Should have been specified that should be written as a scientific article. Would have made it easier. Also do not give the advice to cover too many issues.»
- maybe if youcould choose the groups it vould be a better result. However this means that you need to help with contact for some groups even if one contact in our group arranged one interview.»
- I liked it, especially due to the straight and clear instructions given for it. Little time was needed with the "administrative" parts of the report writing. Nicely done! On the other hand, it was a little bit dull, seeing that we have done dozens of similar reports earlier in our education on I. But again, I really liked how it was given to us with all the necessary details attached.»

30. What is your opinion of the supervision?

- Quite good.»
- My supervisor was not really helpfull since he did not help us to narrow the scope of our work. I think this would help us to have a better results.»
- Not well organised. As we were a group, I would have preferred the supervisor to communicate in English, and with all the group members.»
- Could have been on a more general level instead of only smaller comments. The feedback in the end was better but than it was too late to make some changes.»
- need improvement»
- Good. Liked the detailed feedback»
- good»
- Good maybe more direct critic on the text.»
- There was some missunderstanding at one meeting that lead to a delay but our superviser helped us verry much, she were great »
- She did a good job, even though it was obvious that she was rather new to it.»

31. How did the collaboration work in your group?

- good.»
- In general we work well in the group»
- Initially very bad, then we improved a lot. Also different schedules and deadlines from other courses affected a lot our collaboration effectiveness.»
- Very good collaboration. But it was not necessary to write down the group aims etc for a small assignment like this. But I really liked the way the groups were formed. Continue with that!»
- good»
- very well»
- my group members did an excellente job»
- I did almost all the work but it turned out good.»
- not so good.»
- Overall, it worked well. There were no equal share of work performed within the group - but life isn"t fair, right!?»

32. What is your opinion of the final presentation?

- good.»
- Interesting, though if I have to present, I am worried about my presentation and do not have the opportunity to fully concentrate also on the other groups" presentations.»
- It was ok. »
- good»
-
- they were very well prepared and it has been interesting to listen to the others»
- Unnecessary to grade it but alright.»
- good, however I personally had much to do in two other courses at that time but my mates did a nice presentation»
- Totally pointless. At that time in the semester it was a completely waste of time. My suggestion is to either schedule it earlier or to just drop it. No skills learned by that presentation.»

33. What is your opinion on the grading and feedback?

- Quite good.»
- Feedback was good, grading also.»
- Since it was clearly stated in the beginning how the grading should be performed it would have been interesting to know the grading for all parts instead of just the sum of them. Otherwise the comments was good.»
- good»
- Ok»
- they have been fair »
- Good!»
- good but there might have been too high in some cases.»
- Good. Seeing how we are not spoiled with feedback at all here at Chalmers and "I", I"m happy for everything I can get. »

- The group assignment. The law lectures.»
- law and negoiation part»
- the organization of the lectures and the group works»
- I like the mix.»

39. What should definitely be changed next year?

- Some thing must be done about the literature for outsourcing. maybe the book from Jan Bröchner would be better.»
- POWER POINT SLIDES for every lecture!»
- better handouts and maybe add seminars for discussing the articles and the books.»
- Domberger and/or the way Prof. Bröchner gives his lectures.»
- The group assignment could be some larger. The negotiation part could be less general but it still is an interesting part of the course.»
- the numbers ot teachers, it is to many»
-
- nothing»
- Maybe have one teacher more constantly involved.»
- refine the group work a bit.»
- I respect that you are all very skilled in your fields and possess a lot useful knowledge for us. Meantime, it is my impression that all lectures could be lifted to a more "professional" level. It is hard to examplify this critique but I wasn"t all comfortable with the small cosy classes held. Also, drop Henrik from negotiating - really»

40. Additional comments

- I loved the nice British accent of Prof. Kadefors.»
- Better administration and planning before the lectures etc would not hurt.»
