- Might seem like a small number, but it is not considering that the course went on for 16 weeks.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- It is really hard to average this but I think it is a fair estimation that I spent 30 hours every other week, thus, 15 hours per week.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- of course it depended a lot on if we had some deliverables or not. in weeks then we had deliverable we spent around 30 hours per week but otherwise less.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- Hard to estimate, the time spent varied a lot between different weeks. Some weeks about 30h other ss than 10.» (At most 15 hours/week)
- Hard to estimate since it is so connected with the project.» (Around 20 hours/week)
- Some activities supported the course, but are not included into this figure.» (Around 20 hours/week)
- The options for this question are interesting seeing as the course only was 25% of full time which should be only 10 hours a week...» (Around 25 hours/week)

- Some exercises were much more applicable than others. The final exercise was the most applicable.» (Ok)
- All of them seems more or less appropriate, but some will not be used very much in the progress of the business. At the same time, for example the business model will be the foundation for the progress of the business.» (Quite appropriate)
- Some things were difficult to apply, eg scenario planning. However, all parts of the course were interesting, eventough they were not applicable to the project. next time try not to connect as much to the project. Many tools and methods are easier to apply to something traditional (Volvo) and are therefore easier to learn when applied on traditional settings. when we have mastered the traditional application, it is easier to do it on our own» (Somewhat)
- Some of them were very interesting. Most of them were meaningful.» (Quite appropriate)
- The scenario planning was not so useful for instance while the BM and branding assignments were very useful» (Ok, Quite appropriate, Very appropriate)

- Course literature not connected to what we did in class... » (Small extent)
- To me, the greatest part of the learning experience was rather listening to the lecturers and then trying myself with the access to support and guidance.» (Some extent)

- Could be good to know the changes of the assignments a bit in advance» (Rather badly)

12. Please grade the following teachers on a scale where 1=lousy and 5=excellent

- I think that Fredrik"s lecture was less well balanced than the others, i.e. balance between interaction, discussion, trying and lecturing.»
- the market strategy was a very interesting lecture, but could have been more engaging. (was he jetlagged?) product development was a bit lame because it was once again volvo... I have heard about product development many times academically, but i don"t know much practically. maybe bring in product development consultants who can talk about how they make prototypes and how they can help us in our projects..? just an example of something that would be applicable to our projects.»
- Mårten Westlund was hands-on... Not making things too academic when they don"t have to be. This is where Tobias teaching, which was good, could improve, seems he"s making things academic and difficult when they are actually not. Make things easy, not hard...»

- good: workshops and some of the lectures to be improved: the papers were vaguely defined and feedback was not given in order for any learning to take place in connection to them. people tell me there is a 1 month rule on chalmers for feedback on all deliverables. grading of in-class activity makes us feel like in high-school again - making people think of questions that seem smart rather than are interesting.» (Fair)
- It was an academic course, i did not feel that it was directly supporting the main struggles we have in our project but in the long term it is a very interesting course!» (Good)
- More academic exercises in order to be forced to actually learn specific models and theory. Most work was done quite pragmatically.» (Good)
- intense but rewarding workload. Good balance. Excellent lecturers. Good content. Very well communicated goals and content.» (Excellent)

17. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The guest lecturers, the open discussion in class, the "workshops", and attempting to align the assignments with the business plan.»
- I hope this is clearly answered in the questions above. »
- Lots of external people, exercise based lectures.»
- mårten"s lecture about communication»
- some of the lectures and the in-class exercises»
- The scenario planning. and BM feedback session»
- everything except Fredriks lecture. at least if he is the lecturer.»
- Cumulative work in business model. Was good to build up the classes in order to produce one large and more complete report at the end.»
- The workshop approach. Branding lecture and excercise»

18. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Earlier feedback on assignments(BM was very quick)»
- Feedback on the hand-ins. Especially before some of the assignments requiring we build further upon a previouse assignment.»
- Feedback on assignments right away»
- Nothing that i can"t think of that definitely should be changed but for some reason I didn"t appreciate the market strategy assignment as much as the other assignments.»
- scenario planning was a bit difficult for us, but I still understand why it was part of the course»
- feedback grading criteria work load deliverables»
- cap gemini lecture»
- the amount of hours put on theori can be decreased. Fredrik should be exchanged to another lecturer.»
- Some direct applications of theories and models.»
- The scenario planning should be removed or drastically changed. »

- If they have a project to try on...» (Yes)
- yes, but I would really like a summary of the theories, strategy and models that we have learned and that can be useful in the future as an entrepreneur, manager or strategist etc. In order to easier be able to remember the content!» (Yes)
- learning outcome wasn"t enough considering time invested» (No)
