- many many subjcts and no good relations between. Sometimes subjects did not have relation with FM» (1)
- I didn"t learn anything about financing» (1)
- It started off with a very impressive presentation from Glenn, but after that it was just downhill, since the topics that we"re presented we"re already covered in Sven"s Project Management Course and in the end I feel that I didn"t really learn that much about FINANCIAL Management.» (1)
- The content of the course was very superficial except for the part related to the financial rates and risk management. A large amount of the information presented during the course was a repetition of the Project Management course. » (2)
- NOT CLEAR GOALS, THEORY QUITE DISPERSE.» (2)
- Too much general talk about projects, which where not related to FM » (2)
- Not good, not bad. Could be improved a lot.» (3)

- I got very confused regarding the goals of the course, since to me it was supposed to be Financial Management within Project Management, instead of Project Management with a hint of Financial Management.» (1)
- Goals should be higher» (2)

- No comment» (1)
- I can"t say that I didn"t learn anything at all, because the Ratios Analysis in the beginning was all quite new to me. However, after that I can"t honestly think of anything new that I learned from that course.» (2)
- It was repetition of FM tools studied in business courses in Collage. » (2)
- Only lectures given by the guest lecturers were interesting.» (3)
- Very bad experience. If we look at the learning outcomes and the content of the course at Chalmers web. I really feel depressed. I have learn something which is more likely to be the part of project mangement but not FM. The reason why I have put 3 is beacuse I have learned something but I think that is not the part of FM» (3)

- The topics were mostly repeated from what we had in the Project Management course» ( 1)
- Even though they had important Project Management information, considering that it was supposed to be Financial Management I think that it was very poor, since the material didn"t have much to do with it.» ( 1)
- skipped the relevant parts» ( 1)
- Not enough teaching FM in related to Projects. Ex. how to find finance for projects, manage finance stakeholders.» ( 2)
- In most of the cases, the lectures given by the titular lecturer were boring. The lecturers given by the guest lecturers, on the other hand, were a lot more interesting.» ( 3)
- Need more examples, case studies and especially practices. International aspects were good, otherwise we wouldn"t think that for example corruption is "normal" in some countries.» ( 3)

- It most certainly did not meet my expectations, since there is so much to learn from the Financial World! And we barely got to see a little part of it.» ( 1)
- Was expecting more of a Business course related to project financing» ( 1)
- I think that name of the course is not strongly correlated with the material that was given. It should have different name.» (2)
- Wanted to learn more on numbers on balance sheets etc., not necessarily about calculating but the theory and understanding how to interpret them.» (2)

- Yes, but mostly they were not related to financing» (2)
- Yes, the course contents are relevant for my further studies and professional plans (I believe that knowledge is always welcome), nevertheless if the course is called Financial Management, I would have liked to actually see Financial Management relevant content, instead of relevant Project Management content.» (2)
- They are relevant but I believe that it could be more beneficial if repetition could be avoided to go over financial management topics in more detail» (3)
- So so..» (3)
- Financial management is extremely important in projects and it is an important course. However, this particular course content was not relevant » (4)

- There was no exam of this course only assignments.» (?)
- there was no exam but Grade was not in a good way, coz I saw those who wrote their essay in 2 day and just made up something, got even better grades» ( 1)
- Not Applicable» ( 1)
- The final essay had a complete opened topic, I myself didn"t understand what to do, even after I asked the teacher.» ( 1)
- There was not an exam on the course. However, the final essay was very poorly outlined, leaving the majority of the class highly confused on what was the purpose of the essay and how we were supposed to achieve this goal. Plus, since it was very poorly outlined and there wasn"t any specific topics to be work on, we basically just wrote what we thought that could get us a good grade. Writing an essay just to at least get a good grade is most definitely not a good sign that reflects from good course.» ( 1)
- It was academical paper on a topic that was too large and complex. Would preferred to do more practical task, such as the first assignment (case study on the company).» ( 1)
- Was no exam» ( 1)

- Only one assignment was related to financing, but the teacher didn"t explain how to do it. We had a brief explanation from a guest lecture.» ( 1)
- Only the first assignment (the one related to the ratios analysis) met my expectations. The other two were disappointing.» ( 2)
- The requirements for the last assignment were ambiguous and needed further clarification» ( 3)
- Case study assignment was very good, this course would have needed a lot more examples like this. It would helped to understand more about financial management.» ( 3)
- Personally I think they where good - teachers should not give too much hints to students about assignments. It teaches creativity and encourages thinking. I personally feel that there was too much complaining about the assignments from the class.» (4)
