- Difficult to say since we have got no feedback on anything» (To some extent)
- the examinations reports are good. you have to know about all different topics to be able to write a report about. The grading of the reports is a total different story, and in my eyes not academic at all!» (To some extent)

Lectures

This section deals with the lectures we have had in the course. The goal is to assess the relevance of each lecture as well as the performance of the lecturer.

10. How relevant was the lecture"s topic for the course?*

Matrisfråga

- You didn"t need to participate in the lectures in order to obtain the information needed for the home exams and the case. Basically, you could pass the course without attending lectures.»
- In my opinion, Sten Karlsson"s lecture could be more interesting if it would be less technical, more focused on the effects of global warming, current actions, and less focused on the physics behind the phenomenon. Do not misinterpret this comment, explaining the physics behind was important, but it could have been explained in a more summarized manner.»

12. On which topic (related to the course content) would you have wished to get a guest lecture by an external expert?

- life cycle assessment »
- The LCA lecture, it was obvious that this was not the main focus for Magnus. It wouldn"t be that hard to get Anne-Marie Tillman (or someone else at ESA) to make that lecture.»
- Alternative fuels»
- I would like to have a guest lecture by a person or team who have applied the Life Cycle Assessment in a company and can give us the actual procedure and results of this concept, because from the course"s content we could only understand a part of it.»
- Road transport, air transport, a guest lecture from European Environmental Agency»

- no feedback» (neutral)
- We"ve only gotten feedback from the last one and maybe putting up a previous home exam in the page would help in knowing what you want then.» (neutral)
- I think the learning outcome is higher because one deals more with the topics compared to by heart learning for exams. » (neutral)
- It would be very useful to have feedback from the examination reports before the end of the course. Without feedback there is little chance to improve from delivery to delivery (structure, content, writing preferences, etc.)» (rather good)
- I think that you learn alot when researching for the handins» (rather good)
- I really like the concept with take-home exams since you learn more than you normally do. However in combination with my other course the over-all workload was too high.» (very good)

- Conflicting and uncertain handin dates and times. I still have no idea how a performed on the hand ins (exept one of them) This is four weeks after the course is finished and several months after the first handin. VERY POOR correction. The system with handin partners and case study was a joke. This isn"t a kindergarden where we are supposed to meet new people. Many of my friends perfered to do the hand ins themselves than to look for a new "buddy" each time. A better idea is to randomise the case study groups and let people work with whom ever they chose on the hand ins.» (very poor)
- Correction obviously didn"t go that well since we still haven"t recieved the results for reports handed in more than a month ago.» (rather poor)
- very slow. You can use the grading of the first assignment for improvements in the other assignments! And you should give the opportunities to the students to ask for personal feedback after grading of each assignment such that the can improve their way of writing between the examinations!» (rather poor)
- correction takes/took to long» (rather poor)
- please correct at least one before the end of the course» (neutral)
- The corrections would have been very nice to get earlier.» (neutral)
- the handout and handing-in was easy. unfortunately, the corrections take a long time.» (rather good)

18. Examination report 1 - Env. impacts and technical solutions/transport modes

Matrisfråga

- Hard to comment on how difficult it was when you don"t know the result.»
- nice assignment!»
- Too few words to get something good...»
- The use of different articles made easy to consider many factor related to the topic and the word-count limit was not restrictive.»
- Difficulty: I don"t know because I havent got the result I think It was ok, but how can I know?»

Matrisfråga

- The word-count limit was a little bit restrictive»
- Relevance: I don"t like that you pick a subject. e.g. ecological footprint from an article just to check if we"ve read the articles. It would be better to ddiscuss more relevant concepts we actuallt talk about in the course. Difficulty: I don"t know because I havent got the result I think It was ok, but how can I know?»

22. What do you think was the best with the examination reports?

- examination report 1 and 2 where very connected to boh parts of case study»
- That you got more time to think about the questions than on a normal exam.»
- There is no final exam in the end»
- The fact that you could deal with each subject separately»
- Gives a much deeper understanding than a regular exam»
- they covered more or less all the material we were supposed to study»
- Examination report 1»
- The first one, it was the most interesting and was interacting with the topic of the case study. »
- You learn more because you really need to understand the information provided.»
- Nice to work hard with something and really try to find the best pieces and put together.»
- No stress, workload was distributed»
- Different essays anable the possibility to explore and write on a specific area related to envtal. impacts of logistics.»
- The examination reports asked the students to summarize all the important and necessary parts in various lectures, research papers, etc, which made the study much more proactive, fruitful and of course, interesting.»
- rielaboration of the topic discussed in class»
- EX.REPORT 1»
- Good way to focus on a subject at a time to learn more.»
- comprehensive»
- The structure and limitations, although it was difficult not to write too much. Also, by having these, no exam was given. »
- learning concepts step by step»
- Giving us deeper perspective to understand the content of the course»
- That you learn alot when researching.»

23. What do you think was the worst with the examination reports?

- no clear connection with overall goals»
- That they still are not corrected.»
- Time problems. 4 Examinations reports + 1 Case study + 2nd Course is a lot of work»
- you had to write it in pairs, you didn"t and haven"t gotten feedback... in the end it doesn"t matter that they were separated. You could have given one in the end with 4 questions since, again, we haven"t got any feedback.»
- That we couldn"t write with other group members. That we weren"t allowed to write with the same person twice was OK.»
- it was quite stressing to be obliged to write a home exam throughout the whole duration of the course.»
- sometimes to vague what the teacher exactly wants to hear. be clear how you grade the assignment (as i would write it differently when i knew that you use that kind of template for grading)»
- third one»
- The amount of take-home exams. i think 2-3 are enough.»
- Taking sooo much time every sunday...»
- There was no grade from the essays, nor feedback. There could be some general remarks to be fed back to the group even when a grade is not yet available.»
- it might be better if the students are totally be free from finding a partner, working with someone in the same group sometimes is fairly good, since the two partners know each other well, and the most important part is, time is really easy to be harmonized.»
- The deadline ( 1 week) is very short »
- EX.REPORT 4»
- Needing to coordinate with others, it´,s time consuming.»
- The strict regulation for the selection of writing partners,limits to some extent the grade which would have been possible otherwise. »
- To have one every week at the same time as the LCA report etc. »
- too much work in a short time»
- dont have so much time to communicate with writing partner»
- No feedback what so ever. some articles wasn"t releveant to he course.»

- the strategy part was actually okey. but I have to say that, the first LCA part was kind of a bit "heavy workload". » (much)
- The workload for the case study alone was not too much but in combination with the take home exams and our other courses it was too much.» (very much)

- same question as 17?» (poor)
- guidance and handins were good, but correction is har to comment on ...» (neutral)
- No corrections yet but good with opposition.» (neutral)
- moments of additional help are good (on exactly the times we needed it). The feedback after the planning report may be a little bit more.» (good)

27. What do you think was the best with the case study (e.g. teamwork, home team session, seminar, etc)?

- application of the lessons learned and teams were built by ourselves»
- The work in the team was nice.»
- That we first had a presentation and then the possibility to make changes»
- it was useful and interesting to apply a tool in our groupwork, and we actually learned something practical out of it!»
- seminar was very good! very usefull and interesting. »
- teamwork was the best. »
- That we got opposition and then had time to correct!»
- Group work»
- seminar»
- I believe that the seminar was very useful to get to know what other teams considered in their reports and help to standardize the criteria related to the information provided by the report.»
- LCA methodology is very useful and important to learn. the case study offers all the students such a good opportunity to work with LCA method. »
- The possibility to share the knowledge with the other mates of the group »
- Seminar»
- Interesting to learn LCA»
- teamwork. i work with new friends and we reach the aims!»
- can learn lots of things»
- I learned a lot when doing the LCA and it was interesting. »
- the seminar and the teamwork»
- getting to know different people and work together for the same goal»
- teamwork is good, you learn alot when discussing»

28. What do you think was the worst with the case study (e.g. teamwork, home team session, seminar, etc)?

- the workload»
- Nothing.»
-
- seminar is too short without valuable discussion. the instruction for case 2 is not very clear.»
- the second and theoretical part of the case study is not offering some new knowledge but it was mainly a way to test and revise all the information provided by the lectures. this means that it was not connected to our previous work and consequently it was much less interesting.»
- the planning report of the 2 groups may be a little bit more extented, such that the results can be compared better. »
- part 2 maybe not necessary»
- the seminar didn"t have that much influence. for such a big case study a more important and graded presentation would have been appropriate »
- The second part could have some better structure. Not fun with too much freedom...»
- home team session»
- In my personal experience the teamwork coordination was the worst part of the case study, but this was not related to the course, it was rather related to our team.»
- teamwork. by teamwork, I mean the first report about defining system boundary things, etc with the other group who work in the same case. It actually doesn"t make sense to some of the groups (or at least our coworkers) since they actually changed their mind later without sending us a notice.»
- The huge amount of calculations to be done for getting the final result»
- home team sessions»
- Our team did not match to well »
- the grade of project is unfair.we try our best, spend lots of time and energy, but the feedback is so disappointment»
- Our group spent a lot of time doing the LCA report, late evenings and no time for anything else in any other course. And we did start "early". »
- the deadlines for the different parts (LCA, discussion, etc) were too close»
- sometimes the communication can be hard»
- the seminar was a joke. A proper discussion would have been better. At least ywice as long seminar.»

- Unlike many other courses, it does not give the impression that environmental aspects are dull.» (Yes)
- Learn much about the environmental knowledge» (Yes)
- interesting topic which will probably get more attention in the near future» (Yes)
- Good that the course has an economic perspective and show all aspects of the problems we face.» (Yes)
- Lectures pleasant to attend, very useful information, workload is not so much» (Yes)
- Although the rationale of the course seem to be environmental, it cannot be detached from the economical implications of logistics operations. Environmental solutions do not sell by themselves, instead, if the the environmental gains can be also substantiated with economical gains they become sustainable and feasible. The course helps to identify when the duality works in real life.» (Yes)
- It was a well structured course with clear guidelines from the beginning on. This allows one to be able to study apporbriately. Moreover, with the extensice case atudy, one learned something by doing it, instead of only listening. » (Yes)
- It"s a very interresting topic.» (Yes)
- in my eyes, the course is too easy and a lot of work. so i would advice just to read some of the literature. The content of the literature is very interesting. but there is no personal development due to this course» (No)
- The course could have been better. I had more expectations of some of the lectures but while in the end the course does give some new concepts it"s also filled with uninteresting/kind of useless things. There must be more logistic related things about the future than recycling and social responsibility for example.» (no opinion)
- The lectures should be more interesting and informative. Not much new things to learn other than the LCA which i had no idea about.» (no opinion)

33. Additional comments

- The course was overall a good and interesting course, but the late corrections of the examiantion reports leads to irritated students - and that could be avoided. »
- There was another subject that had a similar amount of people and a weekly individual hand-in of a seminar with 4 or more questions. We usually got feedback, good feedback, on the next week and the course was handled by 2 people. That way the quality of the answers and seminars visibly grew throughout the course. Feedback is good because of that. It improves the quality of the work and learning. »
-
- Thanks so much for the examiner and lecturers»
- case study in collaboration with a company would be nice, but it"s also understandable that this might not be possible with about 100 attending students»
