- It is hard to estimate. I can"t recall. But, I know, it was very flexible. First, I was with the class, and I didn"t have to rush myself, but gradually I lost track, and I was under pressure for seminars. Due to having 2 course with many different elements (e.g. seminars, reviews, games, labs, guest lectures.) it was confusing for me to synchronize my duties. » (Around 20 hours/week)
- The time in class is ten hours. The time on my own work is about twenty hours.» (Around 30 hours/week)
- Around 45 hour/week the last week. » (Around 30 hours/week)

- At first, I didn"t understand the goals that much, but since I am answering the question now, that I have even answered my exam, I feel like I fully understand the goals. So, the question of the goal should not be asked now, because it doesn"t provide a fair judgments.

- As an industrial engineer, my background on product development was not that much. But I enjoyed the course anyway. It was framed in a good way, which was understandable for me. After all, I learned something from it.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)
- should be better coordinated with the other course in QOM » (Yes, the goals seem reasonable)
- Way to many goals on such short period of time, with regard to what we had to do in the parallel course as well.....» (No, the goals are set too high)

- Things that had little focus on during the course was major on the exam, I"m reffering to DoE!» (To some extent)
- The home exam questions are so challenging and professional. I do love the challenging questions to examine the learning.» (Yes, definitely)

- The DoE week wasn"t obligatory, but still its included in 2 question on the exam... and the slides doesn"t provide any help what so ever.......» (Some extent)
- About DOE, can the ANOVA and usage of minitab be added. » (Large extent)
- Design of Experiment lecture was AWFUL. It was so confusing, the lecturer was not ready at all, the sequence of slides were not set, and I read the book several times and asked so many classmates to learn it (somehow, not fully) finally. Also, although Hendry has a lot of knowledge, he should think more how to present and convey this deep knowledge in a lecture. He has a lot to say, but they are of help only if presented in a structured and systematic way. His pronunciation is hard to follow.» (Large extent)
- That is unfortunately very rare, but I was plaasantly surprised to find that most of the answers to the home exam questions was, more or less, discussed during lecturs, literature reviews and cases. » (Great extent)

- Too much reading - too little "doing".» (Some extent)
- The course literature was so amazing. Some of them more, some less. One suggestion is to explain the last year"s literature for students as well, so if someone likes can read them as well. I liked the articles very much. I wish there was good articles on DoE as well. » (Great extent)

- Some people have different ways of working, hard to balance the work load and it is not so easy to be straight to that person. » (Rather well)
- We couldn"t manage to divide the work that effectively.» (Rather well)
- have had difficulties in the cases, some people havent contributed to the group. feels rather sad that some people in the group dident put the effort in their work. they just put more work load on the other team memebers.» (Rather well)

- Long working hours but learn a lot in practice side!» (High)
- When I say high, I don"t mean I didn"t like that. I like it when it is challenging and deep. Yes, it was a lot of reading and more importantly, a lot of thinking. The point is, I love it this way. It should be professional, comprehensive, and informative.» (High)
- mabe too high for the 7.5p. 2x cases, and a home exam. the 3 litterature seminars was contributing so i would like to keep them.» (High)
- It is individual. If you study for a high grade then the workload is big.» (High)
- To much to cope with at the same time.!! And the final presentation was to be done the same day as we got the exam :S» (Too high)

- The workload was certainly perfect... if only I hadnt read other courses as well. ,-)» (Adequate)
- High is not a problem, the point is, it was not synchronized between courses.» (High)
- too many cases! badly coordinated, we talk about coordination all the time. do something about it for next year.» (Too high)

Learning

13. Ida Gremyr

- Ida gives good lecture with alot of interaction which is appriciated. »
- Over all excellent, too much focus on rdm.»
- RDM-lecture by Ida was one of the best lectures during this course. She was clear with what she wanted us to learn and explained well during all her lectures! She had good comments on our reports and seminars, it was interesting seeing her point of view on the seminar questions, both her questions and our own that we had come up with. It was crusial that the seminaires were compolsory, that meant that you were well prepared for the homeexam.»
- Don"t remeber so much about the lecture, since that is more conceptual things and many of them were introduced in the first study period but dig further. I think the articles and reports help learning even more. Constructive advices in supervision and help a lot!»
- Ida was excellent as always. As the ultimate course responsible, I suggest to pay more attention to the DoE and QFD lectures. Literature seminars were very good and informative. The lecture on DFSS can be expanded, more from basics, to the more detailed areas. For someone with no knowledge on DFSS, this lecture was not enough.»
- you pass on all criterias, think that you have done a great work.»
- DfSS didn"t provide any thing during lectures. Couldn"t grasp it until i did extensive research during the exam!»
- Some lectures where filled with too much of facts (especially RDM as i recall). Difficult for the listener to follow and understand.»
- Good English. Good at keeping the audience interest. Very nice.»

14. Marcus Assarlind

- Marcus is a good seminar leader but lost himself in the lecture with the slides. If he would align what he said with the slides better it would make an improvement. »
- The DoE week was had the poores lectures, Marcus wasn´,t structured in his way of teaching and he didn´,t seem to know exactly in what way he wanted us to learn DoE. He needs to be more prepared next time! During the seminar he didn´,t seem to want to discuss the questions with us he was more a listner.. I personally prefer Idas way of involving her self in our discussions.»
- Nice lecture for DoE, simple example helps to understand how it works, or the related chapter in the book is hard to understand. Seminar could be more structured or sometimes didn"t get too much from it. Nice attitude, easy to reach in helping with work.»
- In seminars, you are not active at all. There is a huge difference between Ida"s and yours seminars. You didn"t participate that much. DoE lecture was confusing, and awful. Please do it as practice for someone before the class, and see how much s/he has learned. Think about the way you want to present the material. Explain the logic of steps clearly. And finally, how to draw a line? I am not convinced... there should be a scientific way. Look for it...»
- did a good job in the seminars and presentations.»
- You said DoE week wasn"t neccassry if you had done the helicopter lab before... Therefore i didn"t attend it.. and ofcourse I got stuck on Q4 just for that... Could atleast told us that it was recommended to attend to the elctures eventough one done the helicopter lab before.!½,!!!»
- The DoE lecture where difficult to follow. Stick to one example instead.»
- in the beginning of the DoE lecture the structure was not evident, which confused for the rest of the class»
- Good English. Enthusiastic. Not fully prepared though.»

15. Hendry Raharjo

- Hendry gave a good lecture with interaction. He explain in a good way what his article talked about, something which would have been diffficult to understand by only reading it. »
- really POOR lecture! He got to mutch in to details and didn´,t get any over view over what QFD is and how it works. It was hard to ceep track of what he wanted to teach us when he always wrote with his "pen" on the computer so you no longer could understand the slides during the lecture. Nex time it would maby be an idea to not have as many slides and to simplify his way of going through the QFD-house.»
- Show the work step by step helps to understand. But the article seems not so related to what we are supposed to learn, too hard and leads some confusion.»
- It is a very good idea to use electronic pen during the lecture, specially for QFD which needs modification and explanation. But, please, don"t overdo it!!! Use it, it is so helping for learning, but keep it as necessary. Thanks for your learning lectures.»
- Good even tough the use of AHP might have been to complicated to fit in our course.»
- the use of the computer software was a little too extensive and therefore confusing»
- Could do some improvements in English. Very pedagogical with an interactive computer pen on the lecture. The slides were not so instructive alone unfortunately.»
- Innovative way of teaching by drawing on the powerpoint slides, but it becomes too messy.»

16. Lisa Carlgren

- Good! »
- It was a really fun lab to do! ..but we were to many doing it at the same time that when you actually wanted help from Marcus or the other girl (that was there to help Marcus), you had to wait a long time to get help because everybody happend to be finished at the same time and the girl didn´,t seem to know so mutch so she always whent to Marcus to ask him for explainations as well. »
- Should be more clear about what to do. Maybe this Lab should have more supervisors, took a long time to reach people.»
- Good»

17. Cagdas Senis

- Intereseting lecture but it should been placed after a lecture about DFSS.»
- Interesting...»
- did a good presentation, i hope that saab is still around so you come back next year.»
- Funny. Interesting. Looked like a movie celebrity.»

18. Anette Gustavsson & Katarina Brantin

- Interesting lecture and very good speakers but it should have been placed after a lecture about DFSS.»
- Verry interesting. I always appreciate when you get the oppertunitie to go on a study visit so thanks!»
- Interesting lecture but not got too much from it. Would like to know how they use DFSS more specificlly.»
- Interesting...»
- could have had the "lecture" in chalmers, owuld have prefered a sudy wisit to the work floor.»
- To much Gothenburg accent in English that got pretty tiresome after a while. Too long a lecture but interesting close to the course.»

19. Simon Schütte

- Very interesting subject and relevant to the coarse but it is not a good way to have the lecture after the home exam is distributed. It is not very nice towards the lecturer nor the class. »
- Very interesting!»
- This was a really interesting and fun lecture but I would have prefered it to be earlier in the course and not in the last week of the course when you couldn´,t take it in that mutch because we already had started to work with the home exam. i would love to learn some more about this method.»
- Nice lecture, related to think further for customer in design phase.»
- Excellent speaker, interesting slides. A suggestion: change slides faster, speak less on each slide, manage the time so that you can explain the software . If you want to go to the mathematical details, please explain the rationale and logic clearly. Don"t take anything for granted.»
- this is something that you should have brought in much earlier in the course. found it interesting and contributing for the subject. a must next year but earlier!»
- Most interesting lecture in this course. Very good.»
- Very interesting. Very good presenting ability.»

20. Do you think these subjects would be useful to maintain in the course?

Matrisfråga

- Design for Quality is an introduction course. Kano model and QFD are the very important tools for product design. DOE is the very important tool for RDM. Both RDM and DFSS are the very important methodology for product development. Kansei Engineering is the supplementary course. »
- Maybe add even more practical training in forms of workshops and more focus on Kansei Engineering and how this field is connected to the other frameworks presented during the course. »
- The content is definitely good, but the lecturers and the way they are presented can be improved.»

21. To what extent did the group assignments contribute to your learning?

- There should have been a discussion after the DoE lab. And questions should have been posed to the groups (such as: how did you come up with your conclusions? why can you use this model? What are the weaknesses in the approach?)»
- The cases gave good training but since the product was fictive, it was difficult to make use of the tools. It would have been better to have a real product to analyze. »
- I already knew the things taught in the DoE lab.»
