- Too much work for the credits, which creates frustration in the lack of time and actually serve to decrease learning and promote shortcuts, rather than deeplearning. » (3)
- Too heavy work load» (3)
- Overall a good course but the gigantic scope of the projcet along with the fact that parts of the course were not new to me makes the grade go down a bit.» (3)
- Good content but to little time to do everything good.» (4)
- Interesting content» (4)
- Liked the content of the course. Nice to finally use some knowledge...» (4)
- An extreme work burden lowers the overall impresseion. 2 quizes, 1 huge report and one final exam with a lot of reading. » (4)

- too much with 2 quiz, case and exam» (2)
- I think improvements how each part relates to each other are needed. Also, when lecures are ended with a lot of content still to cover you sacrifice some structure as well. » (2)
- could be better divided into clear blocks» (2)
- It lacks of structure, maybe diverse parts of the course should be interlinked» (2)
- We had a quiz on the last chapters of the book (8-12, 16, 18, 19)and then a lecture on chapter 11.» (3)
- it was very good but it could have been more coordinated with the other course» (3)
- Good lectures, but far too much material. Three books, articles and a project...» (3)
- There were a lot for read, and some times I didn"t perceive cordination between the lecture and the readings» (3)

- Lectures was good, but overall material and workload was too much» (3)
- A lot of readings on top of the project work.» (4)
- The pace for the course itself was OK. Altough, it gets a little bit much with the TC&IT course at the same time.» (4)
- Maybe not too fast but there was too much work with the project and this effected be possibilities to focus on the other» (4)
- due to small groups» (4)
- Case was biggest we"ve done due to the high expecations from company and supervisor. Thats fine, but then we cant have 3 tests also. » (5)
- Way to much to do.» (5)
- There was too much reading that was not covered in lectures and not relevant for the report writing.» (5)

- Extremely poor I would say. You cannot ask us to buy and read books and then remove them from the reading list, what signals will that send? The same case with the quiz, removing chapters very close to the quiz is not really fair. Even though it reduces the work burden for the class in total, but is not very fair to persons having spent time reading them. » (1)
- There were too many changes in what was supposed to be read. Firstly the start up book and then the change in chapters for the second quiz» (2)
- Didn"t have much contact with admin.» (3)
- Some news were not published on the homepage just spoken about in class, so if you"re ill you"ll miss out» (4)
- Haven"t had any problem. » (5)

- A lot to read, since is was both books as well as articles.» (4)
- quite much to do in the end (quiz+exam+ case)» (4)
- Demanding in time rather than understanding » (4)
- The workload, considering the intensity of the project and the amount of material to read required a lot of effort. It was manageable since it was interesting, but I think it is too much for a course of this extent.» (4)
- Too much work in too little time. It was unfair to us and the course itself which was really interesting.» (5)
- Case was biggest we"ve done due to the high expecations from company and supervisor. Thats fine, but then we cant have 3 tests also. » (5)
- The project work required a lot of time which made the course demanding in terms of heavy workload. Also the task of analyzing a business model is huge and it is not easy to know what to focus on when you have just started the course, the company doesn"t have any special request and not the supervisor either.» (5)
- The project was very unevenly distributed between the project members» (5)
- The project was very demanding but it was learningful, maybe decreees the other work, such as quiz if the project will bee this demanding in the future» (5)
- Very demanding, because the readings...» (5)

- no rocket science.... but still good» (2)
- Good level» (3)
- Hard to tell before the exam. But so fare, pretty well balanced.» (3)
- It was not difficult just an extreme amount of readings. Highly questionable if this is what should make a course difficult» (3)
- the content was not that difficult but the project was very difficult, what can we say that will make a difference?» (4)

- too much!» (1)
- The quiz was really bad. Why should we learn EACH SINGLE word in the book?» (2)
- The project work was very good for learning but group work in pre-determined groups will not give grades reflecting each group member"s contribution. The quizzes did not measure understanding but specific sentences from the book (or even the book"s appendices).» (2)
- The quizes are unnecessary, what is the meaning of learning a lot of definitons where only a few words differ among the different alternatives. Furthermore, having read all the literature was not really beneficial on the final exam. » (2)
- Some question in quizzes were out of scope. For instance, it seems to be mistake to ask for the duration of an utility patent, instead of asking for its definition» (2)
- The project course did not mirror the course content rather a small aspect of it. The quiz was ok if we haven"t so much work load.» (3)
- The exam was not related in a good manner to the readings. » (3)
- The second quizz includes questions for chapters of the book that was not part of the course» (3)
- Keep it to 1 quiz!» (3)
- The final examination was confusing, ... questions very large and a lot of mini questions inside.... » (3)
- Yes it does, but maybe it can be better timed with the TCIT cource » (4)
- Yes. I think so, but the detail level on the question for the second quiz was silly. Does it really matter if we know all defenitions down the individual word level? Come on... Do you want to provide us with detail knowledge or broad understanding?» (4)
- möjligtvis fråga 4b som inte riktigt kändes som den låg inom ramen, att man skulle räkna på hur mycket och hur många gånger man ska ta in kapital etc. » (4)
- The final examn was good, although a bit more time to write would have been good. But the quizes were not good. Why ask on definitions from the appendix?? Is that the most important part of the book??» (4)
- I didnt like the fact thatthe exam was structured so disproportionately. That the bulk of the points lay in one single question i mean. better guidance on how many pages per question would be appreciated.» (4)

- Reflection- no, I spent all the time i had trying to get my thoughts down on paper! The only thing i reflected on was the fact that i wish i had had a word processing program to write on - i think one should keep in mind that students today are very used to writing on the computer, and structuring and writing entire essays by hand limits our ability to express what we know. That is also why i think smaller questions covering many different topics would be beneficial. In that way, an overall pictur eof how the student knows is easier to obtain.» (1)
- The project work - absolutely. The quizzes - absolutely not as we didn"t even get the right answers to them afterwards.» (2)
- it rarely does...» (2)
- No the exams were much more focused on just stuffing yourself full of information.» (2)
- Haven"t written the exam yet. However, the case was very rewarding in terms of having the opportunity to reflect and learn a lot.» (3)
- I think a seminar is better than a quiz. It generally provides deeper understanding.» (3)
- Certainly not the quizes. » (3)
- The exam has too many subquestions so was difficult to make a complete reflection» (3)
- It had been better to skip the quiz and have an exam early on and let the deadline for the project be in the end of the course.» (3)
- The project was best» (4)
- For the project - absolutely. But as for the exam, the studying is rather tactical, which I believe has a negative effect on the reflective learning.» (4)
- Quiz no! the others yes.» (4)
- Havn"t done the exam yet» (5)
- Especially the project work» (5)

- Under expectations» (2)
- Great as such. Demanding, but good. However group split up wasn"t really good. Lots of groups lost members, and did the same work as 5 did with 3, and as I"ve understood that will not be taken into account for grade. » (3)
- Too much and it feelt like the groups supervices by Sören got advantages» (3)
- In a group of five there should not be 4 swedish and one international student. I need not explain what happens then :)» (3)
- the projects were quite different from group to group and also the companies may be more helpful or not. this blurs the "fairness" of the final evaluation.» (4)
- But much easier to work with persons that have the same ambitions! Time consuming to work with persons that do not want to do as much as you. » (4)
- Worth too little of the course compared to the work effort!» (4)
- A lot of work due many people in the group. Coordination takes much time.» (4)
- Great project work idea and set-up! It turned out to be a quite heavy workload though from being designed for groups of 5 when some groups (incl. mine) was only less. Unfortunately is there a big difference between people in the class and your workload was hugely depending on who else was in your group. Some international students have poor English skills and less experience from this kind of tasks why the rest have to put in a lot of time trying to interpret and re-write their texts etc» (4)
- Very good coaching. The supervision in our case was on a reallt good level.» (4)
- free rider with exchange students (not by purpose but their level is not as high (no experience within this field and low level of the english language)» (4)
- It was really great. But bear in mind having pre-defined groups with different ambition levels will skew the work burden. Especially when a company is involved with an external perspective. » (5)
- Apart form the fact that we weren" blessed with the most inspiring or even interested company, it was a great task to undertake.» (5)
- One of the best things in chalmers have been work with a real start up» (5)

- Too demanding with too little time.» (4)
- Very interesting and fun to work with a real company and case!» (4)
- It showed how hard it sometimes can be to gather the right kind of information.» (4)
- time consuming... difficult to understand the product/technology and industry» (4)
- Required a lot of work! » (4)
- The project was linked to a real business project. I really thankful that the course administrator was able to find some many real business cases for students to work on them.» (4)
- Next time, try to ensure several swedes in all groups. As alone swede, a lot of tasks fell on me. » (5)
- It became very demanding due to the uneven distribution of work in the group.» (5)
- Huge scope, narrow it down the next time. Also, there were a lot of rumours about the companies paying for our report. Eithr way, that should be clear to us aswell from the start. I"m a student, not a proffesional, if I"m supposed to work for money - I should get some of that aswell.» (5)

- Kepet changing his mind about what was important in the project. Unfair in his judgement. It felt like some times he hadnot read our reports , though had negative comments for them.» (1)
- Was very good in the beginning but we did not feel that we got detailed feedback and applicable comments in the end. Also there was a lack of consistency as our supervisor asked why we had not done things that he previously had not mentioned at all.» (3)

- I did not see the point with the quizes» (1)
- most because of the bad dorf & beyer book» (1)
- Question very narrow and sometimes tricky. The second quizz had two questions that were not in the scope gave by the lecturer» (1)
- The first was very easy and the second one very hard. Both of them must be on the same level. And why should we learn every word? Isn"t it better to know what it is, how it works and how to use it?» (2)
- Good for one reason = made us read the book.» (2)
- I don"t like quizzes since they does not provide any form of deeper knowledge. Detail knowledge is for academic studies on high school level if you ask me.» (2)
- not very relevant... just an extra burden....» (2)
- define good here, please... good basic idea? fair quiz? good benchmark to measure whether read or not?» (3)
- It was too much with both two quizzes, one huge case and one exam. The other course also takes a lot of time. Hopefully D&B won"t be the main thing on the exam because in that case, the two quizzes were not necessary.» (3)
- The first was too easy, the second harder and a bit blurry. The quiz should strive to check the understanding, not exact memorizing skills.» (3)
- Dont know how much i actually learned. the massive increase in level of difficulty between quiz on and two was also strange. I didnt really understand the point of giving us four alternatives with extremely small differences between them» (3)
- Quiz 2 was really "tricky" and required students to memorize some of the key points. » (4)

- First one easy. second one very silly. Why having 3 answers differ one word?» (3)
- The topics was easy but the formulated questions hard to interpret.» (3)
- One easy, one hard.» (3)
- What was demanding was the time spent on reading the book. I would like to question the need to have this book at all. I think it doesn"t provide so much value more than explaining clearly the concepts which can even be found in Wikipedia.» (3)
- The quizzes were a good idea generally because they forced us to read the book early. If we had less load though it would be better.» (4)
- First one quite easy, second one much harder. Why have so similar examples?? If the intention is to chech that we have read it, don"t try to fool us.» (4)
- No 1 not demanding, no 2 focused on irrelevant things. I know what profit means, but I don"t rememeber how the book defines it.» (4)
- Quiz 2 was "tricky"» (4)
- Only demanding in terms of reading something for the sake of reading and not learning.» (5)

- Almost just self-evident facts in the book.» (1)
- Bad book. Only a bunch of definitions, I learnt more from one article than the entire book. » (1)
- if this was the name of dorf & beyer"s book, it was one of the worst school books i have ever had, poorly written, wanting to cover all but instead fail to cover anything properly. 1000000 unuseful lists, stupid explenations and what about those stupid formulas- does anyone realy use them in reality?? » (1)
- See previous question.» (2)
- A very american book that on very many pages describes things that most people already know.» (3)
- The book was excellent.» (5)
- the book is very good. It should be kept as the main textbook.» (5)

49. Comments on the course literature?

- We did not use the articles in an evident way»
- too much or too little time..»
- course literatures are carefully selected and good.»
- venture technology was good from its content, but too much repetition. i could even find the exactly same sentence/statement twice within the range of 1.5 pages! -> this book can be cut down highly and a book half that thick can cover all topis»
- The course book was very relevant, interesting and easy to read and understand. Very helpful»
- Good but too much »
- Way too much to read!»
- »
- Nice, and easily read but quite a lot»
- To much litterature, to expensive»
- Good»
- The Dorf and Byers book was very inconsistent and often only stated the obvious which makes you easily lose interest. Crossing the chasm is a great book on the other hand. Generally the selected articles was very good and felt relevant to the course.»
- Too much to read in too short time.»
- Dorf & Byers book was very long in relation to its content.»
- I liked it and reallt learned a couple of new stuff in this course. I also liked that the academic mambo jambo was put aside and that the topics actually focused on what matters. »
- chasm good, dorf/byers bad»
- It was extremely confusing which books are obligatory and which not. In fact, now, one day before examination I still don"t know. It doesn"t matter however, as I"m not able to read the third book anyway.»
- too many books... not really related or important for the course...»
- Exclude the Dorf & Byers book. It does not add much value.»
- ok»
- Good»
- Much to read»
- Bad, bad book.»
- Quite well structured, interesting overall.»
- crossing the chasm = jättebra! D&B = värdelös Artiklarna = ok, men vissa förstod jag inte varför dom var med. »
- Good but too much, should prioritize »
- To read all the course books and articles were challenging. »
- Dorf & Byers only consist of bullet lists, is this the most important or is it the overall knowledge gained...?»
- the dorf and byers was good crossing the chasm was also good»
- the books demand a lot of time... »
- maybe the Dorf&Byer"s book is too much focused on american"s market & laws»

50. Other comments/suggestions for how the course can be improved?*

- Don"t put everything in one course. If students don"t have the time to study or apply to the case, that didn"t help us at all.»
- Such courses should run through a whole semester. It is impossible to try to squeeze an important project, two books , articles, quizes and an exam in 8 weeks.»
- don´,t take in excange student that can´,t speak english..»
- *Ensure groups have even spread of swedes *Email groups well in advance and ensure the members will take the course, or have them accept a invitation before a certain date to get a case group. *Speak more to Staffan in other course, and ensure the dates are not so similiar in both courses.»
- marks for 2 quizes can be imposed. It will help the students to collect additional points.»
- N/A»
- ...»
- It"s good to have quizes, because then the wrokload by the exam is less, and it keeps students more motivated to read the book and follow the lectures. The project work was very demanding. Maybe it would be better to reconsider the industries the companies are picked from. Most of them, were too specific, so it took long time for a project group to figur our how actually company does this and that...because we were not familiar with the industry at all.»
- Chose the group members self ans less articles included as course literature.... »
- Change the way the quizzes are done. Should give bonus points one the exam, otherwise useless. Unessecary to have to know every word in the book. Very good with a real project on a company!! The project should be worth more. »
- More attention to the project, and less on the exam»
- I suggest that you can choice your own groups and request a specific project in groups next year.»
- »
- more coordination with parallell courses and actually some more lectures»
- change the project. I suggest to have several cases instead.»
- I think is ok.»
- Improve the case, clearer purpose towards the company.»
- No»
- Less litterature, less articles»
- ...»
- Introduce seminars»
- The project is absolutely essential for this course. I definitely learned much more in the project than during the lectures.»
- Change the course book. Coordinate workload with the other course. Make sure that Swedes from "I-linjen" are evenly distributed in the project groups in an attempt to even out the workload and possibilities to make a good study.»

- Narrow down the scope of the project, focus on a couple of areas rather than everything. Ii"s difficult to look at everything and still do a good job. Just because some may have managed that, that doesn"t mean that they didn"t put in more time that should have been necessary. Much depends on the commitment of the company and their willingness to share information...»

- Better to learn some things good than just give 20 authors different views on it.»
- I did not really like the course book, think it was unfocused and lacked a clear struckture. I would have prefered to read more articles, as I found these very educational, in stead of the course book (Dorf and Byers)»
