Genomsnitt: 5

- The meetings in my opinion were not enough for this course. This course, in content, is very good for the people who are interested in the logistic side of shipping, like me. However, it is an advanced course, it has also an economic side. Briefly, it would be more convenient if the mandatory Economy course is before this course, and also a Maritime Logistics Introduction course can be prepared in connection with this course. » (100%)

Genomsnitt: 2.33

- Almost the same comments. This course should be combined with another Logistic introduction course and Economy course. Generally, it is the problem of the programme, courses seem to be designed randomly, no uniformity among them which lowers the level of understanding and the degree of getting benefit.» (No, the goals are set too high)
