2. How large part of the teaching offered did you attend?

Matrisfråga

- Jessica was uninspiring.»
- Too complicated calculations at Magnus" lectures»
- It felt like Jessica was pretty restricted in her teaching and what she was supposed to say. I would like so see her get freer hands to personalise her lectures, because sometimes it think maybe she had to talk about things that she did not think mattered that much (and I agree, the history part was sometimes overwhelming). She is a really good lecturer.»
- All were good instructors in their own way.»

- There where not really any calculation questions as in those two exams that were on the course home page before. In that sence they need to explain more how the exam is going to be» (To some extent)
- a bit unfair to make large questions of that few subjects, I couldn"t show all i had larned» (To some extent)

Genomsnitt: 2.08

- Why so many points and so few questions! That is very unfair if there is som e question you don´,t understand. Very bad that there was no teacher visiting the exam and no number to call!!!! That is against all chalmers policy!» (No, not at all)
- Th teacher should attend the exam to answer questions...» (No, not at all)
- This exam was the worst. The last third question was tough. But the fourth question was impossible. I tried to talk to my classmates after the exam, but noone had understood that question. It seemed like something we had not gone through in the course. And, no one came by to answer questions! In every exam I have ever taken at Chalmers someone comes by once, but usually twice to answer questions. It was really bad that noone showed up for this one.» (No, not at all)
- I had questions that I wanted to ask but there where no phone number or a teacher attending the exam. An exam at Chalmers the students have the right to ask questions!» (To some extent)
- There were a couple of questions which could have better redaction. Also, it would have been so much better been able to ask someone as usually in Chalmers.» (To some extent)
- question 3b) was really ill formulated» (To some extent)
- The examination was a bit strange compared to other years. So we were not really prepared to this kind of thing, and some questions were a bit difficult to understand.» (To some extent)
- Some of the examination was not consistent with the material taught throughout the course nor with the exercises/ problems or previous exams. Although critical thinking can be expected, it seems that a large jump was taken from the exercises to part of the exam. In addition, knowledge of EPI history made an unexpected presence on the test.» (Yes, definitely)


Teaching and course administration

7. To what extent has the teaching been of help for your learning?

Matrisfråga

- Thomas Sterner, very good and interesting lecturer, but tends to drift away and therefore the somewhat lower grade. »
- Thomas lectures where interesting but he always talked around the topic and never finished his power points. He also talked about same stuff as the other teachers where going to talk about. I had very hard to follow Jessica when she where teaching because she talked fast and in a monotom voice Magnus was the best of them in teaching. Structured and talked about the relevant things connected to the lecture.»
- Thomas: The slides from the cost distribution lecture could be improved. Jessica: Excellent lecturer. Magnus: Goes too fast sometimes, makes it hard to follow and then you loose motivation on the lecture.»
- I would like to give Jessica higher grade, because she is a good lecturer, but she wasn"t really given the most interesting topics (or something).»
- More structure would be nice from all three.»

9. How did you like the course book?

- It was good to have a book that follows the course closely. Formulas in the book are written very strange and are hard to understand. »
- Good in some ways but really boring to read because it was just alot of text with little pictures... Yes there where small boxes and diagrams but in the long run that becomes very uninspiring. »
- it was ok, but the fact that the lectures and th reading plan didn"t match was irritating.»
- Hard to read. Very much information and also a little difficult to understand some times.»
- It could result interesting to read, but with more time and slowly.»
- takes time reading, very intense, could have been shorter and skipped some parts»
- Good, but With to much focus on Mathias and formulas.»
- The book is way too big, we don"t have time to read it. For me, i bought it but as i knew i wouldn"t have time to read everything, i didn"t read anything. It"s a bit a pity. Moreover, for the few i"ve read (for the project mainly), the text is way too long, there are too many repetitions and so the text could be much more synthetic and shorter.»
- Sometimes goes into details too much but overall the book is good and covers the most important parts of the learning objectives.»
- Pretty interesting, 4/5»
- ok»
- A bit too thick, but overall good»
- It is easy to read, but it is difficult to look things, words and concepts up in it because you have to read the whole text to get an explanation.»
- It"s good as reference litterature.»
- Very interresting.»
- I really like it»

22. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- case study, magnus as lecturer»
- The subject!»
- the exercise»
- The case study.»
- The assignment and the debate.»
- Case»
- The case study. The format of courses, the order the subjects are seen.»
- The case excercise»
- the project»
- Case study! And Thomas" lectures»
- The case study.»

23. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Alot more calculations excersies. We hadn´,t calculated anything untill the " summary lecture" if such a large part of the exam is calculations there should be possibilities to calculate all the way throgh the course. »
- Clear instructions in how the examination of the case study will be and contact information on the exam AND A TEACHER THAT COMES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS!»
- add some guidance on calculations...or at least make it clear that is will be a large part of the exam.»
- Dont know.»
- The availability of a professor on duty during the examination, that was actually very disapointing.»
- Keep down the amount of slides... Plan the lectures better so there is enough time. Exam should reflect the general focus in the course! 3 hour lecture is not recommended.»
- Less math, it makes basic concepts more complicated. More lectures held by Thomas.»
- The book. If the book cannot be changed, maybe don"t ask to buy it and don"t expect students to have read it. Maybe a few texts could replace it.»
-
- More Thomas, less Magnus»
- The exam!»
- The bonus point system. It should be stated clearly how you get them.»
- It is very vad that the rules for examination is secret before the presentation. The worst I have seen at Chalmers. This has to be changed!»

24. Additional comments

- It would be nice to have feedback on the projects quite quickly after the end of the case study. This would also help for the examination preparation. It would also be nice to have the results of the examination quicker...»
