- For most of the part, reading course material was enough. Lectures helped when I didn´,t understand everything in the course material» (Some extent)
- Some PP-Slides were not so good and hence hard to understand without any explanation, but most topics were covered in the literature as well.» (Some extent)
- Gustavs lectures were brilliant. Easy to follow and logical. However, the lecturer on sheet-metal forming was very confusing to listen to. Some things was really hard to make sense of...» (Great extent)

- Better PPslides would it make easier for students!» (Some extent)
- The articles about the general behaviour of the processes and the scientific articles were very interesting and rewarding to read. However, the "handbook" articles and brochures from different companies were both shallow in explanation, repetetive and tedious to read. » (Large extent)

- Noting to criticize here» (Very well)
- The more every teacher use the homepage regarding group assignments, labs and other important information, the better.» (Very well)

Genomsnitt: 3.31

- In our case you can not blame it on nationalities since two Sweds and two Chines did little work.» (Very poorly)
- My group had a lot of disputes, mainly about deadlines and text quality. I think that the main problem was that different group members came from different nationalities with different preferences on how to do things. Some people in the group put logic reasoning and a holistic view first, other people put layout, presentation and early deadlines first and some people tried to do EXACTLY what they thought the examinator wanted. This lead to a lot of discussion but the end result became pretty good.» (Rather poorly)
- We had some problems with different quality levels and requirements.» (Rather well)
- Många av Erasmus-studenterna skötte sig inte alls bra och skrev fruktansvärd obegriplig engelska. Det slutar alltid med att vi andra får fixa deras delar och är orättvist att de får bonuspoäng till tentan som de inte förtjänar... De är bara en börda att ha med i gruppen så låt dom få jobba ihop istället» (Rather well)
- Everyone but one person made a good job in the group assignment. » (Very well)

- gives a deeper understanding for the things taken up in the labs» (To some extent)
- Great to be able to connect the terms and literature to some practical work! Especially the metal forming lab helped a lot» (To quite large extent)
- for the first two labs. The third lab was quite boring and especially the report was not helpful at all!» (To quite large extent)
- Drawing lab was very good and AWJ to. MQL decent, but dont know how to improve it.» (To quite large extent)
- Good Labs!» (To quite large extent)
- But the last lab was not any good.» (To great extent)
- All labs were very interesting and rewarding.» (To great extent)
- Except the third lab... it was hard to understand and quite boring to just stand there and observe. Also, the hand in excercise didn"t give anything... it just took alot of time» (To great extent)

- Only positive about was the social part. Otherwise think it was rather unnecessary» (Not meaningful)
- Task interesting, group worthless» (Somewhat meaningful)
- Increases, and improves the learning. » (Quite meaningful)
- It is always important to train to work in groups with different associates. » (Very meaningful)
- Think it is very important with the group assignment because it is the first course on the master and in prevents that students that know eachother group themselves in the beginning. Allow other to learn to know eachother» (Very meaningful)
- Makes you start reading and also get to know your new classmates.» (Very meaningful)
- It was a very trying task to work with students from other nationalities in regards to preferences on how to do things and discuss it all on english... However, now afterwards it feels like I have a refreshed view on a lot of things, which I will take with me in the future.» (Very meaningful)
- It was awesome!» (Very meaningful)

18. Comments on depth vs width

- More technologies. This course is needed to get a basic knowledge about workshops, though it can be made even more modern.»
- As said above, i would like to go for more depth and few technology areas.»
- More depth and fewer technology areas. Felt like it was TOO many areas. Perhaps it is better to focus on those areas that are most widely used in the industry today»
- more technology & less depth, but the project work made us understand the depth knowledge on the processes that we chose for the project»
- no»
- I think it was quite good as it was. As a product developer I think it is most important to know a lot of production areas to be able to consider them while designing. The deeper knowledge would be something I have to look up later on either way. But if you have to go one way or the other I think it is better with option 2.»
- Since I should have done all the taught processes in the basic course, I would like to have a wider range of really "MODERN" manufacturing processes. There I would be interested in more details. For example: Grinding in general is not so important as high-speed grinding or new innovations in grinding. In my point of you, the focus in the course was vice versa and to much focused on general applications.»
- 1 i want to become an expert in manufacturing areas and less of a manager.»
- For my interest(automation) more technology areas would be better, since I do not need to know processes very deep.»
- Personally, the first choice is better since it lays a more comprehensive base for our career.»
- More technology areas and less depth»
- think it"s well balanced. This gives a good understanding of the most common manufacturing technologies and how (and for what) they are applied »
- 1) More depth. Because I feel like if I understand a few things really really good it becomes easier to understand other similar things. Also, the society has so many different genres for technology that even if some more processes can be included by making the course shallower, it doesn"t ensure that the area which I will end up working in will be covered. However, if I understand a few processes very well and thoroughly I also understand the "principles" of how other processes work and can thus learn the specific "details" of another process in place at whatever company I start to work at.»
- »
- The depth contra breadth was raher good I would say. If one whishes to dig more deeply into a certain manufacturing process it is possible through the group assignment»
