- I think this course is difficult to be examined in, because I think it is important that you have understand the whole planning process and I do not think the questions are representative if you understood it or not. » (To some extent)
- I wish some exercises about the capacity would have been done in class before this exam because it was clear...» (To some extent)
- Too complex questions and too large extent in comparison too the available time!» (To some extent)
- The allocated points to different questions were not matched with the content and the time was needed to fully answer.» (To some extent)
- Exam was to narrow compared to the course... calculation questions was NOT at all like the one teached during lectures. » (To some extent)
- some questions were about small details from the text book that did seem to be related to the goals of the course or related to what we have done during classes» (To some extent)
- The quantitative problems were unreasonably time consuming/tricky in relation to how many credits they could give, which will possibly decrease the likelyness of the exam really reflecting the learning objectives of the course.» (To some extent)
- Should not include description of some specific words» (To some extent)
- to long exam compared to the avalible time» (To some extent)

- But still I felt the exam was pretty heavy.(many questions)» (Yes, definitely)
- Maybe a too long exam. Some of the part questions could have been removed and I don´,t think that that would have resulted in a poorer check of the knowledge.» (Yes, definitely)

- I wonder if there is a possibility of including more variety of problems» (Some extent)
- Sorry to say, but the way the problems were dealt was not of quality standards. The person did lot of mistakes while solving the problem and never really thought the practical point of view an instead solved the problems for just solving it. But it did help to some extent, having considered the fact that there is no RIGHT solution.» (Some extent)
- it could have been a higher grade, since the idea and method suits me well. But those lectures has meen all messed up, I"m sorry to say but because of the teacher, to unpreapered or to nervous.» (Some extent)

- the IT guest lecture, the last one was good. It gave an insight in to day to day life in a company which is what is required at this stage. There is no use if we still stick to text books and do something which really is not used at all.» (Small extent)

- Always good to visit companies to see how they work, but the assignment should be more open and not on a specific planning process.» (Small extent)
- Bad company» (Small extent)
- Unfortunately I visited my company too early, think it would have been better with a later visit date.» (Some extent)
- Good to come out to the reality! but i think this assignment should be presented after we have had lectures about SOP, MPS and everything else..» (Great extent)

- Den enda inlämningsuppgiften som jag tycker har varit något » (Some extent)
- Very good case!» (Large extent)
- I really liked this assignment. I learned a lot about the different procedures and concepts used in this field. I also liked to get an exercise in working with Excel, instead of writing text/report with five persons.» (Large extent)

- Timing problems, the assignment could have been even smaller and individual. The seminar was very good and helped learning.» (Small extent)
- Den hade säkert gett mer om jag hade hunnit läsa in mig mer på ämnet innan.» (Small extent)
- We had alot to do at the moment so I think it was good that the assignment was decreased.» (Small extent)
- Didn"t put much effort into the actual assignment bus the dicussion and lecture at the seminar was good» (Some extent)
- good way to get to know the differences of MRP and other methods. it was good that it was simplified too... could keep this task relatively simple....» (Some extent)
- The work before was not good but the discussion during the seminar gave a much better understadning.» (Large extent)
- Thought provoking assignments. Able to know what you have studied may not always be it that way is really important.» (Large extent)
- very good seminar!» (Large extent)

14. How did you perceive the mix between lectures, guest lectures, assignments, seminars, own literature studies, etc.?

- It"s a good way.»
- A good mix now when seminar 3 was shortened.»
- Rather good. It could thou have been less assignments. Its better with one good assignment that you can dig into instead of several you have to rush trough ending up in a poor result.»
- good mix. Reaaly liked the tool and die case. could maybe have changed the figures and the task a litle bit so that not everyone would come up with the same solution. good guest lectures»
- Not considering the assignments of the FTS course, it was good and the assignments were the parts I liked the most, as I could lean many things from them...»
- OK»
- I think more exercises would have been good.»
- If everything else would stay the same, then it would be better to skip one assignment. Feels like there where not enough time to actually study the book and learn. »
- Despite of all lectures, assignments... the most part was the literature!»
- good mix ! perhaps to little time for own literature studies...»
- I think it was a good mix»
- too many assignments»
- The workload with the assignments was to heavy, which meant that the possibilities for own litterature studies was not enough. It became very stressful in the end before the exam, especially since the exam was on the first possible exam date.»
- The mix was good, although the lectures were very long»
- OH!!. Very hectic and tight schedule. Can it be made in to 15 credits? The subject is really good and forms the basis for people like me who would like to go in to Demand planning i guess. It would be better able to study the subject thoroughly rather than just studying from exam point of view.»
- Much assignments and lectures, i didn"t open the book until last week.»
- ok, maybe a visit in factory can be suggested»
- maybe not too much task should help learn more deeply»
- På tok för många inlämningar som tog väldigt tid.inte gav någonting alls. »
- Quite well balanced, there would however have been to much focus on the seminars if the third seminar wouldn"t have been shortened.»
- A good mix»
- lectures, 50% guest lectures, 10% assignments, 10% seminars, 10% own literature studies, 20% »
- Hard to have time to own studies.»
- The topic is large and it was challenging to get a holistic interrelated view about the area. The excel study was very good and Volvo presentation also. Maybe some more case examples from the real company during lectures should help the learning of overall processes. »
- Everything gave different perspective within the same context»
- quite good. Better mix would be nice though. Not two guestlectures in the same day and then alot of days with stig-arne and patrick. I also think that the assignments could all be scheduled one or a half week earlier. so there would be a bit more time that is "your own", not needing to see groupmembers (ie have a lot of booked up time)... at the same time, if the exam would have been a bit later, than it had not been the feeling.»
- It was a good proportion between the aspects»
- Good Mix»
- Good! »
- Good mix, but very much to do. Especially the assignments which in combination with 3 assignments in the other course became quite hard...»
- Own literature studies were too much, because seminars, lectures and assignments were time consuming. »
- Det blir extremt mycket att göra redan vecka 2, varför läsning av vkurslitteratur faller efter till veck 6, förutsatt att man inte lägger mer än 50h/v på studier.»
- OK»
- It was a good mix»
- Too little time for own literature studies. One too many assignments. I liked the seminars.»

- Only one suggestion. Can the questions asked by the swedish students be answered in ENGLISH so that the other stdents around would also gain some knowledge. After all the purpose of coming here is to gain knowledge from all sources and it would be good have english only in this case. NO HARD FEELINGS, understand it is a bit difficult but sometimes the swedish students start discussing in Swedish language and makes it really difficult to follow half coversation.» (Very good)
- i did not ssek much help, but this group who took the class is great, a very nice climate. also you teachers have been available and answered questions when needed.» (Very good)

- Inlämningarna har tagit nästan all studietid, jag har inte alls hunnit läsa så mycket som jag hade velat.» (Adequate)
- The eyam was too hard, too specific and detailed questions!» (Adequate)
- For a "usual" student is adequate, for a student with family and other major responsibilities too difficult as it takes a lot of time, much more than 20 hours a week.» (Adequate)
- The exam was to narrow.» (Good)
- Very interesting subject that i would like to go deeper into. » (Good)
- i think i have really learnt something that i can use someday» (Excellent)
- The course and the subject are great, need time to think, then the lectures too would be really great to listen, else it would be difficult to follow» (Excellent)

21. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Less theory. More site visits or company visits.»
- good seminars and good wih the presentation and discussions about them.»
- The MRP case was good, and especially the seminar for the MRP case. »
- The textbook is great. Host comeany concept is also great. »
- the assignments( of course if it"s not simultaneously with the FTS course! »
- Seminar 2 and 3»
- Assignments but should be some what different.»
- The book and the lectures. »
- Assignments and exercise classes.»
- assignments, case 1 and 2. »
- The assignments and the company visit»
- That the assignments was olny giving a few points!»
- Seminars and guest lectures»
- Company,excel calculations. the EXAM PAPER, it was really good, got me thinking really.»
- More seminars like the one after MPC presentation»
- Guest lectures»
- assignment 2»
- Inlämning 2. Boken är bra också.»
- The seminars, especially the last two.»
- Course review »
- The company visit.»
- Seminar 1-3»
- emil jonsson was a great guest lecture, alot of insights.»
- The seminar with the Company and the discussion about Push based and Pull based systems»
- MRP seminar»
- Assignment 2.»
- The second and third assignments were vary good with respect to the learning. The third could have been done earlier though. Can´,t put my finger on what it was but it was too many cases this period.»
- Seminar 2, it really was helpful and besides, fun!»
- seminar 2»
- Seminars»
- Host company visits.»
- The mix of the different moments is good, keep it.»

22. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- keep seminar 3 as short as it was now.»
- The company visit with the process focus felt quite pointless, but maybe that was much because of our company.»
- the examination date»
- Start with the first seminar earlier. The accumulated workload was OK but uneven distributed.»
- More varied exercises in class»
- Maybe one assignment less. And the exam was really hard, in comparison to what the focus have been on the course i think. The book is good, but there where not enough time to actually study for the exam. But even if so, there had been hard to get a good grade on the exam, since i experienced that a lot lot harder than all other assignments, calculation excercies etc that have been related to the course. The time aspect together with hard questions gave the result that i could not even answer a lot of questions, due to time. »
- some chapters were covered much more deeply in lectures than others while all of them were part of the exam almost the same.»
- One big case instead of seveal small ones.»
- the EXAM! still tooooo difficult! I mean, it is not easy to show that you have acctually learnt and understand the course material in this kind of exam! First it was too many questions and secondly, the questions were quite tricky!! »
- Maybe reduce the extent of one of the assignments, as was done this year with assignment 3»
- the amount of assignments without getting a grade. It takes a lot of time to write papers with the foreign students. Their English is often inadequate and it takes longer time to rewrite their parts than to do it yourself from the beginning.. Let people choose their own groups and grade their performance.»
- I did not feel that the teacher making the calculations was prepared enough, both for the calculations and for answering questions. »
- nothing much»
- The course content. Is IT systems, procurement needed?»
- Less lectures and more discussion groups.»
- Assignments, not so much»
- maybe not too much task should help learn more deeply»
- Det borde vara färre inlämningar»
- Possibly try to increase the connection between the guest lectures and the rest of the course.»
- Excel case, not enough instruction.»
- The exercise lectures. »
- calculation»
- less assignments in total for the period»
- this does not feel nice to say, but linea need to improve herself when giving lectures, especially calculation lectures. coparing linea and violeta from the freight corse, it is like comparing night and day. violeta is very structured and very clear when she show calculation exercises. »
- The way of teching how to solve exercises »
- Quantitative execises. Should correspond more to the exam and give more clear answers to the questions they attempt to solve. »
- I´,m a little bit skeptical to the bonus points...»
- The quality of the exercises. You chose easy ones during the course, in the exame they were more difficult!!»
- distribuera om arbetsbördan över veckorna »
- More calculation exercises please»
- The exam didn"t look similar at all to the previous exams and it was hard to answer all questions on time.»

23. Additional comments

- There were not enough time on the exam. Ofcourse you could manage to answer all question if you would know them before, but it is quite stressful to take exams and it would be appreciated if one had at least 5 min just to think about the question before one need to answer. Too many questions and too little time!!!»
- The exam timing was not suitable for the load of the questions.The points were not allocated reasonably. 3 calculating problems with several parts each, is not suitable for final exam. »
- Good work!»
- NA»
- I think the assignments definitely should be a part of the examination to a greater extent than the extra point system. This since we put very much time on the assignments. I feel i did not have time to study the other areas during the period, just after the last assignment was finalized I started to read for the exam... The assignments were to heavy. Also, the exam was too long! I did not have time to answer all the questions and leaved questions unanswered...»
- On the whole, it was a good course with interested and talented teachers.»
- nothing»
- Maybe add some lectures or more information related to global supply chain planning. I have seen some of the previous syllabus with these topics but now its not.»
- Thank you Patrik for your interesting lectures!»
