Genomsnitt: 3.16 (bidrar till totalt genomsnitt/jämförelseindex) 9. The lecturers were*25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.12 (bidrar till totalt genomsnitt/jämförelseindex) - Too much information and difficult to see the essence of what was presented.» (Very poor) 10. Too little attention was paid to?- To students" understanding.»- making even clearer relations between key concepts» - Practical applications of the theory» - Definitions of important concepts. Hard to find by yourself.» - How can we use what is being taught in class in real business situations? How is it going to help us in our future careers? Preferably use short cases that the students get to work on to apply the theories being taught in real live examples. Adopt more of a MBA style teaching method and work more with cases and refer back to readings much clearer.» - The red line! And more interesting examples than mining and gaming industry, more real life examples from the economy.» - Student interaction during lectures» - The general outcomes of the course, the structure. Not enough concrete examples also...» - Case studies. I see an enormous potential having cases describing successful innovations, unsuccessful innovations. Have one case each week and let the students read it through with an obligatory hand in (e.g. ppt slides) and then discuss it during the class. » - level of coherence with Scherer book as a compulsory reference » - Team working» - artiklarna, genom att jämföra artiklarna med relevanta exempel had de blivit lättare att förstå.» - Showing a read thread and making a connection between lectures and the articles.» 11. Too much attention was paid to?- To the articles used.»- Academic theories» - Abstract theories.» - Cultural aspects... sure it is important but perhaps not for the course. I know those parts were not there just for the course so I guess it is ok.» - Explaining, a directer link to the literature would be nice.» - The cultural part felt unnecessary. » - final exam» - ..» - Examples out of the scope.» 12. Comments on the course literature?- The number of articles was too much and sometimes difficult to understand.»- To much prereading.» - Generally relevant articles but would be better to be able to buy them as a compendium from Cremona rather than having to print them all.» - some really hard readings, the book"s level is ok» - Sometimes hard to understand» - The course book was not really helpful» - Are there no economists who thinks that somethink else than innovations are important for the economic development?» - It was at times extremely demanding. Overall I am disappointed in how little the readings were referred back to during lectures. If we are supposed to read an article I expect it to be referred to, discussed and used in class.» - Some papers are excellent but it felt like some of them were not useful for the course or for the exam. Perhaps remove some of the more irrelevant in order to make people read the others more carefully?» - Some really interesting articles. The book could be left out in my opinion.» - It was good. Specially the Scherer book.» - Some readings really useful & interesting, others a bit less...» - I actually hated the articles to begin with, but they are good you just have to read them carefully and perhaps twice. I think this could be better communicated, which articles are more demanding etc. » - Challenging. For economics student, its very important to see the other school of "Schumpetarian" and Austrian school. » - The articles were good but it was alot to read.» - they were ok, but could have been more up to date» - mycket intressanta artiklar men svår tolkade! skulle behöva mer stöd för att förstå dem både på lektionerna och på eventuella seminarier. » 13. What other comments or recommendations would you make for the future?- To refer more to the course book. To give clearer definition of the course content and the key concepts. »- The limits on the home exam are to large.» - Less theoretical » - Literature seminar as in the course Managing Development Projects. » - There needs to be more interaction during class between the professor and the students. Make 5-10% of the grade dependent on class participation. This requires more work on behalf of the professor in learning the names of the students. However, I think this can easily be solved if each student has a name tag to put in front of them during class. That way the professor can call on people or people will be more inclined to actually participate since it matters. Lastly, I unfortunately have to comment on the english skills of the professors. Overuse of some expressions such as "Whatever else have you..." and "and so forth..." must be restrained. Furthermore, the professor has to consider the level of english used on slides and in speech. "Ain"t...", "wanna...", etc. is slang and should never be used, neither on slides nor when speaking! This gives an unprofessional appearance and is quite frankly rude! I was particularly shocked on september 22nd when the professor used the following phrases: "...fuck this...", "...women"s boobs..." and "...taste like shit..."! This is completely outrageous and it is a language not suitable for professors or students. THIS MUST IMPROVE IN THE FUTURE!! Overall I am quite shocked by the level of the english that some professors have. If Chalmers is supposed to offer international graduate programs this is a basic requirement that has to be fulfilled! » - Little less crowded slides. Don"t put everything on the slide, use the notes function and put the .ppt files on the study portal so we can read your notes from there. » - Include more assignments in which use of the literature is necessary. This is a great learning moment and preparation for the take-home exam.» - Make the lectures more interactive and if possible add couple of literature seminars.» - More concrete examples!!» - Make the course case-based! There are hundres of Harvard business cases ready to be used. » - As "Economics" of Innovation, there is something missing with "Economics approach". In some piece of material, it discussed about "completedness of utility theorem", but then its leave out, directly jump to messo level. The order between micro, messo and macro level should be bordered in a better way» - Leek spin exercise was great for learning.» - It would be useful to have seminar and discuss the articles.» - the lectures should be reconsidered and try to increase their qulity..» - sälja in ämnet bättre med exempel, jämförelser mellan olika världsdelar och olika länder så att man förstår t.e.x. hur det går om man inte promotar division of labor. Erbjuda hjälp, som t.ex. seminarier och bättre föreläsnings slides, för att förstå artiklar och allmänt kursens innehåll bättre. » Genomsnitt totalt för detta stycke: 3.4 Specific questions on the course14. I learnt to*Matrisfråga- The vast amount of topics made them all a bit invisible.» Understand what economic progress means*

Genomsnitt: 2.2 15. I really think it is correct when the examiner claim that this course provides a backbone for the entire innovation area (i.e. the MEI programme)24 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2 - I have difficulties right now seeing this connection, but I am hoping that it will be clearer once I engage in the following courses.» (I agree some, but not much) 16. There was too little emphasis onMatrisfråga- Might have been more developing with slightly more focus on economy and economic models.» The level of the economy in the course
Genomsnitt: 3.12 The firm and the industry levels in the course
Genomsnitt: 3.2 17. It is much better that the course introduces the entire MEI area than just sticks to one issue24 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.54 - men genom att göra en bättre kursplan, t.ex. dela in kursen i olika delar mer tydligt och förklara logiken i de olika delarna (röd tråd), kunde man få en bättre överblick över kursen från början och därmed ökad förståelse.» (I fully agree) 18. This course was not challenging25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.96 - Sometimes challenging but many of the basic concepts were known since before.» (I agree some, but not much) 19. I wish I had started to read and study much earlier25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.48 - I guess I suffer from Student"s syndrome... I have probably read more the last week then I did the first seven.» (I fully agree) Specific questions on literature20. The course book by Scherer was very useful to me25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.96 - Really makes you understand how things relate to each other and gives you a historical perspective. Very good!
But does not seem to be a very objective book. » (I agree) 21. Some parts of the literature were very easy while other parts of the literature were very hard25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.76 - The article by Loasby should be exchanged/excluded» (I fully agree) 22. I found it hard to read the papers, since they were written in a very advanced English25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.88 - Had been ok it we just had had better definitions on key concepts.» (I agree some, but not much) 23. The lectures helped me to understand the articles23 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.78 - Don"t have an opinion, I rarely read the prereadings.» (?) 24. The articles helped me to understand the lectures24 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.33 - Don"t have an opinion, I rarely read the prereadings.» (?) 25. I did not read in advance25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.76 - As it was one of the introductory courses hence had no initial idea exactly when to start.» (I agree some, but not much) Specific questions on lectures26. I learnt a lot during the cultural lectures25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.12 - Very interesting lecture.» (I fully agree) 27. There should have been more emphasis on in-class exercises25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.12 - I would rather say in-class discussion on topics.» (I agree some, but not much) 28. I really think there should be only a few slides during each lecture25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.96 - Most slides were really too wordy and hard to follow...» (I fully agree) 29. I found it very useful to look at the slides after the lectures25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.36 - Especially after the take-home exam had been handed out.» (I fully agree) Specific questions on examination30. The take home exam was very difficult25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.2 - The notion cognition is not mentioned enough in lectures and literature. To large page limit.» (I fully agree) 31. I really learnt a lot during the take home exam25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.76 - Very good questions! You had to think a lot! Very good examination form! Do not change!» (I fully agree) 32. The take home exam really reflects the learning objectives25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.24 - The strategy question was not really in proportion to the number of lectures and articles we"ve had on the subject.» (I agree some, but not much) 33. I thought assignment 1 was very good25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 1.76 - It was very good because it forced us to read early and get some idea about the course.» (I fully agree) 34. I thought assignment 2 was very good25 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.64 - Fun.» (I fully agree) Other comments35. Additional comments or suggestions- More perspectives upon whether innovation is really the most important thing in the economy. Sometimes it felt as if you learnt a political opinion. But maybe it is the general idea that economists have, I don"t know...»- Please post slides in advance not just minutes before the class. » - Quizzes in class will be good to keep track of our learning and literature reading.» - mycket intressant ämne och kunnig lärare. men väldigt oigenomtänkt course-outline och alldeles för flummiga föreläsningar. med så svår och bred litteratur behövs strukturerade föreläsningar. mera röd tråd, logik och förklara skillnaden mellan vad de olika författarna säger. » Thank you for your time.Regards,Magnus Holmén Beräknat jämförelseindex: 0.6 * obligatoriska frågor
