- I participated at all the lecture the 2 first week. Due to an internship I couldn"t attend the rest of the lectures and completed the course as distance.» (25%)
- I sometimes left because I felt the lectures was not very beneficial for me. I did not get more information than I could read myself on the slides. I would ask for more explinations during the lectures and that you would put the info in more of a context. Now, most of the time you read direct from the slides without explinations. » (75%)

- What is an operation process, what are the tools that we would learn and what will they be used for? How can I apply the learning from this course in the future?» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- The goals includes mentions several tools, these could be mentioned by name. These could also be the read thread during the lectures.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- The goals are clear but because there are almost no case studies where the students have to think for ourselves and therefor it is very difficult to "be encouraged to analyze operations processes". During lectures, some case studies has been presented which is good but the format of being a full class, a teacher that doesn"t know the case but instead has to look in the course materials to find the answer, and the very low pace of the discussion after the case, makes it difficult to fulfil the goals.» (The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn)

- We did not really get any feedback on the topic report reviews, and the group got the feeling that you did not really read it though. Sometimes I also got the feeling that you didnt know how to answer peoples questions in class.» (Small extent)
- Do not understand the structure of the lectures and do not think the lectures corresponds to the aim» (Small extent)
- Om informationen i ppt och det som sägs på föreläsnigarna kompletterar varandra istället för att vara exakt densamma blir föreläsningarna mer intressanta. » (Small extent)
- I do not like the teaching at all. It is extremly slow and the powerpointpresentations are each week very uninspiring- with their grey background (why isn"t white?) and with picture and text taken straight from the book. I am sorry Mats, I think you are a very nice person but the lessons are so slow and they do not give me anything. I would prefer some more interesting lessons, with much much better powerpoints and where you talk faster. The things you can cover in four hours could I say in one hour. » (Small extent)
- The teaching has to a large extent had a too slow pace pace. The literature seminare was held in full class which is very bad for the discussion, and the answers of the questions could be found in straight forward in the articles instead of having more analyzing questions that make the students reflect upon the theory. The lecturer seam not prepared when he his unable to give examples when questions are asked on the slides. » (Small extent)
- The Skanska game was interesting but lacked a clear explanation of the result. The rest could in detail be read in the book. Several parts of this course has been covered in previous courses such as lean, outsourcing, importance performance matrix etc. This course would be a lot more interesting if it covered more new material.» (Some extent)

- I thought it was very hard to make the connection between the litterature and the class and to evaluate what in the litterature was important and in what detail i was supposed to learn it.» (Small extent)
- Det är svårt att avgöra hur väl litteraturen fungerar i kursen när själva syftet och målet med kursen inte är bättre förmedlade. » (Small extent)
- The book is easy to read and follow. The cases possible to choose between were most of them already covered in previous courses and even though we handed in our wishes after 5 minutes since we had already discussed the cases we got our third choice which was an old topic.» (Some extent)
- There some interesting articles. I really like the outsourcing articles, it is an interesting subject.» (Large extent)
- Since I did not attend the lecture I made a great use of the course literature and other materials. » (Great extent)

- I really would like some litterature seminar where we get some questions to answer and then discuss in SMALLER GROUPS during class. The caselessons should also be done in smaller groups instead of te whole class.» (Too low)
- It would have more interesting to have two or three case studies on the different aspects of the theory instead of a topic report, which we did a similar with Lars. » (Low)

- Litteraturen är intressant. Både själva ämnet och syfte/mål med kursen är dock dåligt presenterade. Kursen saknar en röd tråd mellan litteraturen och föreläsningarna och varför man ska läsa kursen, lära sig något om ämnet behöver presenteras bättre i början. Jag vet inte hur jag ska uttrycka mig riktigt och fortfarande vara konstruktiv men jag är fortfarande inte säker på att jag vet vad en process är.» (Poor)
- Bad teaching and I do not like the book. I really like the subject but it is to focused on services.» (Poor)
- The course is to a large extent repetition and the very general presentation of the large field makes the course less interesting. The QOM programme starts with a general course TEK145, and this course is a lot of repetition from that course. After going more into the field in Lars and Ida"s course, it is unfortunate to move up into the general level again. » (Poor)
- the lectures don"t give much additional information that can"t be obtained by reading the literature and the slides because Mats doesn"t add much to what is written in the slides. Also questions usually lead to comfusion and are not answered satisfyingly. A better presentation style would make the course a lot more appealing» (Poor)
- Nothing really new or challenging.» (Fair)
- The book is great, most articles were pretty good exept for a couple. However, there were a good deal repetition. Even some of the topics were repetative since they were almost identical to ones we have had in the last course.» (Adequate)
