About the course

3. The Project Management Basics book, the Basic Test

Each question is a statement, to which you may or may not agree.

Matrisfråga

- About the book: Maylor sometimes using abbreviations without saying what they mean ... for example TCQ analysis... so its hard to follow his ideas sometimes .. really bad index!! Glossar Bad too!! Both to short ... But really good real life examples in the book !! »
- It is nice to get the theoretical part "out of the way" so focus can be shifted to the project work.»
- I understand the meaning of having a early basic test, however maybe the notice was little too late since the first lecture was on a thursday. It would be good to have at least two weeks...»
- Maybe it is good to try to inform the students as soon as possible that the basic test is early in the course since students usually tend to have other plans in the beginning of the period. »
- Good to get Basic Test done early, but too intense first weeks - and the tempo was the same thorugh the whoel course, or worse....»
- To get 0 points on the A-on-A question when not everything was wrong (yes, everything was not right, but most of it).. I could solve the two other questions (i think it was something about the shortest time, and the critical path) which were totally correct.»
- Gained some theoritical insigh after reading books thoroughly.»
- It would be useful to spend some more time on A-o-A and A-o-N, to make sure we know how to build them properly»
- I believe that the questions to the test were a bit too open. For example "What is Risk Management? (or something like that). I have an entire course in risk management.»
- didn"t buy the book myself»

The course book (Maylor) addresses the topic of project management in a good way

4. The Research Project Work

Matrisfråga

- To Dan: Overall very good. Good at motivating and coaching the group. Could have given more/more critical feedback and could have given more hands-on help/input to get the group on the right track. »
- A preparatory Library Services class has been mandatory prior to writing a Thesis. However it is wasteful to have i so late. This is especially ture in the masters program where writing reports is very common. This class should be given at the start of the program (if nothing else then to familiarize those students new to Chalmers with the library catalog).»
- People should already have this skills at my level in my opinion.»
- The articles recommended in the course PM was not easy to find. I only found a few. Perhaps you could give more information on which database too seach on, or put them on the homepage.»
- Comparing reality to theory is always interesting, mostly because you realize that they seldom agree.»
- Dan was a very good supervisor. He gave us straight forward feedback and good tips.»
- Our supervisor gave very good feedback and did so very quickly after the submission of our report. Many thanks to him!»
- The work in our group went fine, the only frustrating part was to find a project!»
- The frusturating part of the project was to find a project to analyze and to find it in time. Not all the swedish people do have contacts in the business world, everyone can call companies and ask in the group. Other than that the project work was very learning.»
- I have done projects 95%-similar to this one about 20 times before...»
- For the last two questions, I think the answer will depend on the major of the students, and whether he/she had any similar assignments as this one or wrong. This is what I realized in our group at least. »
- I think that all of our group would have preferred a face-to-face meeting after the first report hand-in rather than just email contact, but our supervisor did not seem keen on this...»
- we wouldn"t have had time with preparatory stuff..»
- It is good expereince though we tend to be bit lost at the begining with so many different opinions. Our Project supervisor, Mr. Dan gave us very good and clear cit guidance too.»
- More time should be devoted to project supervisions and the aim of it should be specified clearly. However, I felt Dan Paulin was truly interested in providing useful insights, even if sometimes the communications were not timely nor very clear. I appreciated his commitment and I think he has the possibility to improve in future courses.»
- Some of the members would have needed at least one class in writing. Can be voluntary, since not all need it. I would have wanted more and tougher feedback on the preliminary report. Everything I would have wanted at the first meeting was commented on at the feedback on the final version. It is hard to convince people with diverging interest that what they have written is wrong when not even the supervisor says so (the supervisor did however comment on it on the last feedback). »
- i"ve been in so many project groups without formal leadership so i"ve gotten over some of the frustration, our biggest problem was that we had no time where we all could meet. And I"ve has several library service classes, they generally do not give any good information»
- writing skills - I think some brief intro to demands on research project or just some paper that would explain the format and "rules" would have helped a bit.»
- Dan was very helpful when providing feedback on our interview questionnaire with short notice. He also helped focus our work. The feedback on our preliminary report was very good and helpful, though we would have benefited from more comments about the overall content (did we focus on the right things) It might have been good to have the possibility of handing in a pre-preliminary project report, since only so much improvement can be made in half a week.»
- A preparatory Library Services class would have taken too much time. PS was indeed hard to get hold of.» (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- it would have been great to have some members with the same schedule or have dedicated time for the project (the meetings were quite hard to fix due to the different availabilities of the team members) For DP : the supervision was good but it would have been great to have better if you were more available as some of the team member were not available every friday. It could have been great to have some clear feedbacks on the way we were managing our project (bad or good).» (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)

I would have preferred a fully theoretical course, and not have to investigate a real-world project

5. The Lectures

There are two questions for each topic. Content means "I recognize the contents of this lecture as important for my studying of managing projects", and Presentation means "I recognize that the presenter made a fine effort of presenting the topic"

Matrisfråga

- At this point we are still to have the last lecture»
- I really liked the way Jan presented the content, and it never became boring on these lectures. I even lokked forward to goign to them, which isn"t always the case in all courses.»
- Jan Wickenberg is a superior lecturer who realy livens up lectures. It would be impossible to fall asleep during his classes.»
- One of the best lecture series of my Chalmers time»
- Please decrease the amount of questions in order to get better answer. »
- it was really cool to have lot of "personal stories" during the lectures, it made it better, more alive than the most of the other course.»
- the lectures were very attractive in general. Not boring at all congratulations !!!!»
- Jan is the most skilled presenter I have had during my education at Chalmers.»
- Jan is a great presenter! »
- I really liked the course content and the presentation of it and I was attending all the classes since I really thought that they were learning.»
- I really do not remember the lectures this well...»
- Jan makes topic interesting. But, its sometimes hard to follw his reasoning because hes far to clever sometimes. You loose the thread and then your gone... :/»
- Jan Wickenberg is a great lecturer. Per Svensson should let Wickenberg do all presentations»
- But Jan... Are they fools out in the industry?? =)»
- Jan is very good lecturer. I liked attending his classes. He knows how to keep his students attention. He is nice break from other normal lecturer with good sense of humour.»
- lecturers and lecturers were great»
- Jan is a very good presenter and keeps the attention of the class. I found it interesting to see the different views of different leaders on how one should lead and make people follow. However, I believe that the author that said that people should put other people down in a subtle way and things like that is very wrong, and I hope that the people attending that lecture didn"t take it to heart. I don"t believe I am an expert on this subject, but I have read some books on it and they usually state that the way to get people to give you true respect and want to do things for you, as well as helping them reach their full potential, is to make them feel good about themselves, not bad (such as John C. Maxwell talks about in his books)»
- Please concentrate on the content of the lectures as insightful as the lecture on Leadership and power. Jan! Don"t slap yourself in the face, you might make a point but you send an iritating message too, especially as suddenly & hard as you hit.»

- Very interesting, good the way it was - full movie.» (Run the full-length movie)
- It"s nice to use uncommon methods and I think that if you had the project management in mind when watching the movie you actually learned a lot about real-life project management and shadow systems.» (Run the full-length movie)
- The idea of movie is very nice, may be one more would be a better option in this regard.» (Run the full-length movie)

- There should be definitely discussion included.» (Run the full-length movie)

7. The Pre-readings and the Literature Seminar

Matrisfråga

- People read pdfs on their screens nowadays, putting articles on the webpage is enough..»
- I liked the semniars, however, jan was better at keeping the discussion goign instead of just focusing on the questions like per did.»
- Some of the articles where real eye rollers. eg risk vs uncertainty. that could have been summarize to satisfaction in one paragraph. One tends to lose respect for a subject that just drone on and on and on.»
- SAVE THE WOODS don´,t print stuff like this, PDF were good enough.»
- Maybe next class, there should be just one literaure seminar in one week. It was too much to read for one week.»
- it is not interesting to try to answer one question of each student but to deeply discuss a few of them.»
- I read my articles on the screen and did not feel that it was necessary to print them (nor receive them in printed form in class). It was good to hand in a short summary + questions before the seminar. However, the seminars should have a more similar structure. The discussions were much better at Jans seminar than at Pers.»
- The preparation for the seminars was time consuming and when having two courses with high workload it was a bit frustrating.»
- I think the seminars would have been a little better if there would have been more clear information about what was expecting from us. »
- Take fewer, better selected articles... (1 per seminar) The amount only makes focus fade..»
- Learning was far from the effort of reading.»
- Skip the seminars, have more presentations by Jan Wickenberg. I learned so much more from his lectures than listening to my fellow students blurt out irrelevant stupidities.»
- I probably wouldn"t print all the articles but read them on screen if I hadn"t been given them, which would have been strainful to my eyes and I also would have learnt less.»
- It was lots of work, but it is worth it. I had been more of listener. I found that my other classmated have interesting thoughts on the topics. And the seminar was well moderated by our supervisor.»
- Fixing the number of seminar participants would help ensuring that not too many students attend to it. In my group we were many and, especially during Per"s seminars, the discussion consisted only in "reading the questions".»
- Per was a bit too focused on that each student got to ask one of their questions instead of having an interesting discussion about a few questions. The discussions were interupted in order to have the time to go through the entire group. Smaller groups would have made the discussions more interesting.»
- Per focused too much on that everybody should ask a question instead of encouraging discussion where it actually happen, and often interrupted the discussion when it started to get interesting»
- Per made a good point when saying that one should always consider the writers" backgrounds, I have never thought of that before.»
- Per Svensson focused on running trough each question. The aim must be the discussions not the quantity of answered questions. Further, I think Jan has some unique skill in enthusiasm people :) »
- A better literature review session can arise from contrasting articles rather than merely different opinions of students.»

8. The Overall Course Material

Regarding the questions for EndNote, MS Project, and ICS, please respond with No opinion if you didn"t try it

Matrisfråga

- Some of the information was hidden in the text. a goal should be to present information on a bullet point list.»
- Word is good enough to be used with references, no need for EndNote. Also why should we download MS project if not used in the course, totally waste of time.»
- not used the tools, a short introduction to why and how to use them might be needed to create a demand»
- I had no use for MS Project, however I guess it is good to be aware of it"s existance.»
- it could have been great to show how to use MS project once.»
- Never used any of the softwares, though I downloaded Project before the course start. Had some hope that this would be integrated somehow in the course.»
- There should be a bit stress to try at least one of this tool.»

9. Round-up questions

Matrisfråga

- I took this course because looking at job wanted to have project management course ...it was my first management course in general and I"m going to take another course during the next quarter ... »
- I"m really glad that I"ve attended this course.»
- This course made me understand a lot more about project management that I probably never would have thought about otherwise. I am really glad that I chose this course.»
- One final comment regarding the questionnaire, I would find it more logic to have the higher level of compliance to the right, as I expect scales to go from low to high and left to right, so I really had to think one extra step before checking each box.»
- I always though management classes are easy compared to hardcore technical course, but i realized that it involves lots of works, readings and thinking to do justice to it. Morever we are always given enough room to voice our honest opinions and criticism in various activities of course, i found that impressive.»
- The research project work means great sufference, but still I think that experiencing team dynamics is a very formative experience. It"s a pity that bad luck in team line up might have very bad ripercussions on final grade.»
- One downside with the course planning: I always have to buy my Christmas-flight back to my home country in Sept or Oct, so that it is not too expensive. Before I do that, I alway check the pages of the courses I"m going to take and book my flight based on when the exams are. In the case of this course, it only said that there would be a home exam and not a regular one, but it didn"t say when. Since I have never heard about a home exam being in the exam week (usually I believe it is in the week before), I booked my flight based on the exam in my other course. Fortunately I decided to give myself an extra couple of days in Gothenburg before returning home, or else i would have booked a flight the 17th and thus not had the opportunity to do the home exam with another student (and also I would have lost a whole day of that home exam week since it takes 11 hrs for me to travel back home) I don"t know if someone else had this problem, but I belive that since there are many international students, this should definately be taken into consideration before next course start»
- The practice of project management is not close to perfection however it seems that further research should be directed to many other areas peripheral to pure project management, like Maylor says in the preface, Microsoft has had the most contributations to PM!»

The academic writing style is too complex and thus, ironically, reduces the sharing of knowledge

- the guest lecture, the movie and the lecture about the shadow system and leadership. the research project was interesting as we learned a lot»
- The literature Seminars, and the Shadow system lectures.»

24. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Some literature seminar articles were very long and difficult to read»
- I think a number of case studies would be more efficient for learning than the research project work.»
- No comment»
- more help with finding company, especially in itmes like this»
- * selection of articles * making the research project more about research and less about writing and group administration. »
- adding one or two more guest lecture would be interesting»
- Some literature seminars were not very giving.»
- less demand on how much to read. More practical information, less philosophy (I´,m refering to the article about what risk and uncertainty is).»
- the clock of the lecture room KA should be corrected »
- Only lectures with Jan Wickenberg»
- Maybe a bit more detalied information as to what should be emphasized, and how, in the project reports regarding empirical material vs theory.»
- some literature seminars the way of making team for research project»
- Skip the litterature seminars or change to one article per occasion. The more articles the less interessting discussions.»
- Remove some or preferably ALL of the literature seminars.»
- the test should be not so early, there"s no need of literature seminars if we are getting assessed to the same content through the home exam.»
- Maybe the Timing of the Basic Test, or maybe it could be tested in another way, like an interactive Exam in smaller groups (Literature Seminars groups could be used).»
- i"m sorry to say - Per.. he has a lot to give, but a star don"t shine that bright next to a super nova»
- I prefer more notes on the slides, or some commenting below the slides should be added, because some slides are just pictures and sometimes you forget the important messages while reviewing»
- Nothing»
- Try to select more interesting literature for the seminars. »
- The organization of the project work. Distributed earlier. And don"t put all responsibility for aquiring a project. This made me the project manager and the others didn"t do anything without me saying what to do.»
- The supervisors should have more knowledge about the deliverables, e.g. when they should be handed in and in what form and when they are supposed to give feedback(Dan, you could have at least sent an email why we didn"t get our feedback on time) The hand-in of the research project report should be earlier before the presentation for better opposition. The home exam could maybe focus a bit more on your own thoughts and reflections, I felt like I had to search for articles that supported my views. In the stage-gate case this was quite impossible (has mr Cooper banned people from writing negative things?) »
- The date of home exam since it had conflict with other exam.»
- better help with finding a relevant research project earlier.»
- Try if possible to make smaller groups in the seminars. Besides, perhaps the students should be the moderators instead of the teachers. Then they could have more of a supportive role.»
- The articles for the literature seminars.»
- They should make more time for basic test»
- the home exam was very very very late. It takes time and combine it with the exams was a tough challenge...»
- Fewer people in seminars. PS should perhaps not chair them..» (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)
- The literature seminars held by PS was not as good as the ones held by Jan.» (den här kommentaren har blivit redigerad i efterhand)

25. Additional comments

- some article writing courses would be helpful for the research report. »
- Great course!»
- Dan Paulin was my supervisor and i thought he did a godd job. He came with suggestions on how we could improve our work and and report. The critic was specific and easy to grasp. He had a tough time as we had a hard time finding a project and we weren"t able to turn in the preliminary report in time. He also had problems due to the fact that his son was sick, but i think we got the supervision we needed anyway. It felt like he had good knowledge in the subject. »
- If the goal of writing the report was to show us how slow and obtuse project work can be then mission f*ing accomplished.»
- the course was one of my best experiences during master program. the level of work was good and the fact that expectation from report is high, helped me to gain some experience in professional writing.»
- I think I made the ones I´,d like.»
- fine course ! »
- it was a really interesting course.»
- Make a lecture where you just bring up a few different interessting projects that are finished. Present the input and goal for each project, and then let students guess how it turned out when executed... Continously present actual facts what happened, and end up in a conclusion/disscussion of this, and how it could be prevented/better/why so successful etc! Could this be instead of a seminar!?»
- I really don"t like that the home exam and the project report was limited with a number of pages. I think the number of words is the important measurement and limiting the number of pages only results in a report with a poor layout. »
- Concerning Dan Paulin my supervisor: Good guy, genuinly helpful and interested in your work. Reads all work submitted to him and gives elaborative and constructive feedback both in writing and on face to face. Professional. Nothing extraordinary or weird, just a solid good supervisor. 5 out of 5 for consistency and clarity. A great supervisor.»
- thank you jan»
- Thanks for conducting such an Excellent Course.»
- I really liked the course, even if it was a lot to do, but i have some suggestions for improvment: Divide the groups according to when people have time to meet, I know it is harder for you, but maybe people could be given about three options on the course homepage when they could meete.g. monday afternoon, tuesday morning.. and then sign up, and then you can divide. That way all groupmembers can meet at least once a week. 15 pages and 10000 words do not match, make up better criteria. This is a really bad evaluation form, it doesn"t give much room for comments, I can only see three lines of what i"m writing, and the "i agree" "i disagree" lables are in the wrong order from what is most common. Terribly confusing.»
- I really enjoy the Jan way of teaching, It was the best course that I had ever. I try to participate at his lectures in Spring to learn more.»
- Great course. I"m recommending it for my friends»
