- I"ve seen the goals, and they are re-introduced to us more or less every lecture. Looking like them again now, and realize that the course more or less matches the learning outcomes exactly. Not every course does that ,)» (The goals clearly describe what I am supposed to learn)

- The exams was just to check if the textbook has been read carefully, it doesn"t represent our ability to use tools and methods learn during the course» (No, not at all)
- The last question on the exam did not, according to me, check the learning outcomes but rather check whether we"ve read all the articles. In my opinion, I would like to have all the questions more like testing if you"ve understood what the course is all about in practice, rather than explaining the different opinions of article authors.» (To some extent)
- Exam could be based on evaluations of the ideas only and the additional report of individual reflections on the course literature and methods used could be added, for "forcing" a person better combining the methods into one usable system! » (To some extent)
- Thought the exam was to easy.» (To some extent)
- The exam as such was a bit far off, the cases on the other hand were very good» (To some extent)

Genomsnitt: 2.1

- Lectures did not help much this time. Additional value to the course literature was less than usual. Many slides and approach to the lectures were tolerable, but better combination of cases and lectures would be expected. For instance if one lecture would be on monday and followup lecture on thursday and time in between would be used for group works - much greater value could be extracted. Again some meetings with consultants could be involved in order to enable to enhance the learning process on the way.» (Small extent)
- usually more» (Some extent)
- Great thinking of the course but the lectures has not been very good. Should have focused more on discussions in small groups, maybe should the discussion be graded too. I think the course should focus more on the cases, giving direct feedback and discussion in the case group. And then having discussions in class with about 15 people where you get graded.» (Some extent)
- I"d say the teaching during lectures helped to some extent, and that the project work helped to a great extent. » (Large extent)

Genomsnitt: 2.75

- Literature is well written. Only comment would be that cases presented in the book give good overview of the business development, but it is hard to tie them directly to the topic of the evaluation. What were the actual thoughts in the evaluation of presented cases and what were the mistakes of these cases. Staying in the evaluation topic would have enhanced more directly the thinking model around packaging approach. » (Large extent)

- But there was some issues when uploading the case(s) to the portal at some times. I guess it"s not your fault but rather a technical issue.» (Rather well)
- Would have expected to have reading material (two mandatory articles) in ping pong too. As the articles were not deeply discussed in the lecture it was a bit annoying to have a question about them in the exam, even when they were not in ping pong. » (Very well)

- Often interesting and fun to listen too but difficult to understand a lot of the time. » (3)
- Knows what he talks about, but ot fussy» (3)
- Deep and interesting issues always shown through humor prism lose the message in between. Boo has a lot to offer, and I would rather listen to the real deal than to jokes here and there! I am expecting more from Boo, as his profile promises more than he delivers. Master studies is not a place where I expect the lecturer to entertain me. His contribution to the course is significant though. » (3)
- Who else knows what "gurkmeja" is in English? Sometimes the drifted away to explain some for the course not-so-relevant stories, but I appreciate that. You must have some fun during a 4 hour lecture...» (5)

- Thomson Innovation links with video course was very useful and the structured way to approach the patent search was value adding. Could use more of his knowledge in idea evaluation as patentability was usually big issue - analysis of claims is still a bit weak side! » (5)

- We did the case really fast, and they wasn"t really interesting.» (Low)
- High. Like it should be. » (High)
- Mainly due to the last week (a.k.a. presentation week). Partly, because we had another presentation in the other course on the friday as well, and a hand-in in the sunday and another presentation on the tuesday. So, partly not your fault (i.e. the other course"s fault as well) but having to presentations/hand-ins so tight could be "improved" so to so to speak.» (High)

Genomsnitt: 3.4

- My background and expectation did not fit with the course. I was expected something much more concrete, and business development oriented. I probably misunderstood the course. However, I really do not understand who this course can be beneficial in any case, except if you wish to work as an "idea evaluator". All the course is based on writing a report, the course is well presented and lead, but to my mind there were sometime too many workshop that give a feeling of inefficiency. Moreover, as a Foreign student, it was really difficult o be deeply involved in the cases: 1 - In both Cases description was at 75% in swedish 2 - In both cases we where asked to focus on Swedish market 3 - One of the Idea provider didn"t speak english at all. So, even with many will, it is really difficult to feel concern.» (Poor)
- The distribution of the examination between the exam and the projects where very much too skewed in relation to workload between them. The exam questions where also too many or too extensive in relation to the time given for finishing the exam.» (Good)
- Practical - I like it!» (Good)
- The cases have been very appreciated.» (Good)
- I love the focus on learning by doing and repetition to make the ideas stick. » (Excellent)
