- indifferent rather than any of the above. the lectures needs to be more related to the projects. » (?)
- The administration of the course has been terrible and the three different teachers very uncorrelated. Two times the same slides were shown for us. At several occasions the time has been unefficiently used, which has been very stressful for industrial participant who go to lectures instead of work. And it is terrible that the stundent had to go to mandatory lessons about DoE, robust design, and other subjects that they already had during autumn. Terrible that the projects were not handed out until 5 weeks into the course, and terrible that there seemed to be no assurance from the schools side about what projects were suitable for a six sigma course.» (Very negative)
- The most DISORGANIZED course ever. I cannot imagine we have such a course in CHALMERS...!!!» (Very negative)
- I was disappointed with the course because we got the projects at such late stage. Moreover, the teaching was too theoretical mosttimes. An suggestion is to have more practical examples which shows on those theoretical points that are important in statistics. » (Negative)
- it helped me to learn how to use statistical methods in a DMAIC framework» (Positive)
- The lectures were perfect,but our project didn"t fit into Six sigma format. The industrial participant also couldn"t bring necessary information to the team. » (Positive)
- But I would improve the schedueling of the classes in terms of project start set up and that some guest lecures would appear in different timing. ( i.e. selection of the six sigma project came in the very end - 7th session, which I would heavily appreciate on thea early session instead, before the project has been chosen.» (Positive)

- Most of the knowledge that I used during the project I had already learned from previous courses at Chalmers and not on the SixSigma lectures. » (Small extent)
- I had undertaken most of the statistical tools/methods during my undergrad studies. however, the perspective of DMAIC was new to me.» (Some extent)
- More focus on training of the analysis-steps. The exercises provided was not possible to understand under the short and stressful walkthroughs and they were not possible to understand afterwards, without the guidance from the teachers.» (Some extent)
- as stated above, the lectures needs to be more related to the projects.» (Some extent)
- The project was contributing most to my learning. » (Some extent)

- After ONE month having nothing to do in the beginning of the course, we encountered very poor projects, very poor cooperation, very very disorganized meetings...» (Too low)
- We wanted to do so much, but we couldnt, becuase of the project and other constraints.» (Adequate/Low)
- Because we didn"t get any good material to study the statistics, it was difficult to study in between sessions. It is very difficult to study to slides.» (Adequate/Low)
- the project selection was late, three weeks of our time were lost. it would be nice to select the projects earlier.» (Adequate/High)
- that was mainly due to the project heavy work load otherwise I was missing "home work"» (Adequate/High)

- hard to get a hold of our supervisor.» (Rather poor)
- You should strive hard to get answers, but if you do you may....» (Rather poor)
- The supervision for the projects has been great» (Very good)

- thank you for that, the administration worked out perfectly well and smooth.» (Very well)
- I really appriciated that the lecture material was accessable prior to the lecture, in order for you to take notes on the slides» (Very well)
- Although we received the handouts very close to the lectures, but it was really good to have them at the lecture, whether printed out or on the screen.» (Very well)
