- good content » (Good)
- Interesting subject, a lot of useful knowledge. But a little to much deadlines.» (Good)
- Credit to Jan, one of the most entertaining lecturer so far.» (Good)
- I Know that there is prerequisite to know the basics but you (the programme coordinator) should examine the solution of doing the basics of a project management during bachelor level. I had an advantage due to the fact that I was studying at Luelå tekinska universtitet and we had studied pm before. » (Good)
- Like the hand-ins, basic test, litterature seminarie and you Jan is very good to email us informations!, really liked your course but I think it should be good if we didn´,t got so many articles if you want to have the project so big, my recommendation is to do smaller projects instead of one big, and maybe not so many articles and instead discuss them in groupe. » (Good)
- Never tried this way of teaching (homework, readings...). It"s more effective, I think.» (Good)
- Introduced in an interesting way with real life examples used well.» (Excellent)
- Good connection between the different parts of the course.» (Excellent)

About the course

5. This helped me understand the Basics of Project Management

Matrisfråga

- looking at past exams was most learning»
- It felt like Lars was a bit unprepared for some lectures»
- Lars lectures did not bring anything new to the table. he basically repeated what maylor wrote. I understand the idea but I am not sure if it added any value to the course.»
- Lars sometimes interrupted himself asking us if he pronounced things right. He don"t need to do that, as his english is perfectly fine!»
- I believe Lars did a good job. He put the teaching on a good level managing to go through Maylor and making it a lot easier to understand the reading by myself later. Although it was from the reading I actually learned but the lectures enabled this learning.»
- As it was just "korvstoppning" was the book most valuable to me, reading it and taking notes was enough for my learning.»
- The first two weeks of lectures were good,I gave an overwiew of the contents of the course »
- Workshop was great!»
- Too little time to study Maylor, useless lectures (PM Basics) with bad slides (even though offical ones).»
- It didnt feel as if Jan and Lars had the same view of project mgmt, that they had talked about what was important and what wasn"t. This books is really basic, which is good, but it"s a lot of text that could be cut-away. Would be better if you stated "focus on the slides!" I mean, this was his first time as a professor so I think he did an overall good job! (could be a bit more connected to the overall course)»
- You get an idea of how things work at a real project, but not the entire basics were covered by Lars lectures. pros & cons. I liked it, but I had to read in the book a bit more than I would otherwise had to do»
- The problem is that it isnt Lars that does the exam. So you know you cant really "trust him" in the sense that he will bring up points that are important and ignore things that arent. Especially since you know from looking at old basic tests that ANYTHING from Maylor"s book is considered fair in the basics test. I mean, the level of detail required by the basics test is just a bit too much. Seriously, who Eli Goldratt is (instead of asking about the model by name) and what the Maylor quality bridge is (which I havnt seen mentioned or used anywhere else) - do you really expect people to know that? So basicly, PM basics part didnt help, but it wasnt Lars" fault.»

6. The Pre-readings

Matrisfråga

- I wouldn"t have read all the articles but i think it was a bit too much as it was now»
- I think that the amount of activities and hand-ins in the project made the quality suffer. I read many articles but some only briefly.»
- Good for us that otherwise allways wait to last minute»
- I have to say that is was very good that the preparatory work was mandatory, as I am severely suffering from the student syndrome.. »
- There where little to much pre-readings and deadlines.»
- Keep the readings mandatory!»
- These took up quite some time but in the end it"s useful having had to read them. Some weeks had an article or two too many.»
- I didn´,t put much effort in to the pre-week reading. However I believe pre-week reading is essential for learning in every course. I just wish I had more time.»
- Mandatory is good but maybe to only hand in some reflections would be enough. »
- I don"t think I would have read all articles if it wasn"t mandatory, I would instead have read some from EoI»
- The mandatory hand ins forced me to fread the articles, I would not have done it otherwise »
- It is very hard to learn whether your reflective writing is good or not since you hardly get any feedback on it.»
- mention earlier a would have had fewer articles and instead discuss them in groupe more! »
- I think that the pre-reading are good for us students since it forces us to keep up the pace. I would, however, recommended another forum for showing that we read the material. perhaps somewhat similar to the home exams? - without grading though. this would provide a better "read-thread" in the overall course. This made us prioritze this course befire the Econ course which made us fall behind. Not good work division!»
- I like the pre-reading and the mandatory hand-in. It makes you follow the course better. On the other hand, they didn"t seem syncronized with the other course (IDY035), since the total workload made it inbearable. »
- It"s good for this course, but the other course loses on it. Collaborate with EoI?»
- Maybe at the 5th week the structure summary, reflection, questions could be a little bit boring. Alternative methods to verify our reading could be considered. »

7. The Research Project Work

Matrisfråga

- Again... the presentation and also opposition suffered in quality because of the amount of work that we had during that time. You have to consider that there was another course (economics of innovation) also that had presentation and other similar activities.»
- I guess it was not a coincident that the project groups was as large as they were, but it still made it more time-consuming to structure the work than to actually write the report. A bit frustrating.»
- Way too many people in the groups. 3 instead of 6 would be optimal.»
- Out of the three meetings with the supervisor only the last one was really useful/productive in terms of getting directions.»
- Project work is always good! You learn different working techniques from your peers everytime which you can carry with you to your next project work. I especially enjoyed the group work after we had studied the design thinking where there was discussion about being open to others way of thought. The Student Assessment was pretty much a joke in my group, not performed professionally at all. Perhaps this should be supervised as well?»
- Ivan was not the best supervisor, he was interested but couldn"t give any valuable feedback at all! Only saying he could ask Jan and comment a little bit on misspellings in the draft we sent to him, how would this make us perform better?»
- Regarding Ivan"s role as a supervisor: I unfortunately think that it was of very little use. No real guidance and mostly referring to Jan when we asked questions. The impact was actually kind of negative since we got some "agreements-that-an-idea-was-good-to-research" on things that we definitely should have avoided.»
- I learned a lot writing the case though beeing 6 people might have been too many. It made it difficult to overwiew the whole process»
- They weren"t that visible even though it was nice and comfy.»
- Our opposing group did not take their role seriously, why it didn"t give us any help.»

I would have preferred a fully theoretical course, and not have to investigate a real-world project

8. The Lectures

This was a good lecture

Matrisfråga

- Eva Hådding spent too much time discussing RUP, just to conclude that it"s no longer in use. She should"ve spent more time discussing agile and Scrum.»
- I think it could be more empatize on what a reaserch study is compared to a "normal" project. »
- Generally, the lectures were interesting, and Jan is very good at catching the attention. The closing lecture could have included a more thourogh review of the course. »
- Jan"s lectures have been really, really good! »
- Shadows of project management was awesome. The movie was a nice break from the usual lectures but i"m not sure if i got a lot out of it for the course.»
- Extremely hard to distinguish different lectures from the same lecturer.»
- It was hard to understand Magne... Maria was excellent, I want more lectures from her at this program!»
- The closing lecture was a good wrap up of the course, summerized it well»
- The Pentagon wars didn"t really teach me much...»
- Jan, interesting listen to you, take parts from the enviroment! you don´,t go throuh your lesons to fast thats good you have some time to think! Thanks!»
- Jan is a great lecturer! The pentagan wars, cool that you handed out snacks, Ivan! »
- I dont remember them all.»

9. The Design Thinking Workshop

Matrisfråga

- The design work shop was great. I really liked the Ideo video!»
- The hand-in questions were poorly posed and there was miscommunication. The C-K theory was bogus and the article on the subject was poorly written. The entire question should be skipped.»
- It felt weard to that new material was introduced after the work shop. »
- I feel like it was way too easy to score top scores here. Almost everyone got 9-10.... »
- Concerning the hand-in after the workshop it was quite vague what we were suppose to write and how it would be graded. Maybe have more guidelines for next year. I also don"t think you should have to read even more articles in order to be able to answer the questions for the workshop. »
- a nice element in the course.»
- Ingo made it real fun. His energetic approach was well suited for the type of activity.»
- It was a fun part of the course, something quite different!»
- Too much pressure on the hand in since it was graded. Should not have been considering I spent much more time and effort on the other mandatory hand-ins. Even though it was very interesting and I got full score I felt I had to put too much effort into it.»
- The reflections were unnecessary, it should have been more like the preparation »
- I did not participate in the workshop but still learned from the hand ins and prep-work»
- It was "lärorikt" and fun! »
- It was a great opportunity to experience what really design thinking is.»

Matrisfråga

- I think she did a really good job»
- the seminars was good gained a better understanding of the articles than just doing hand-ins»
- It was a good way to get better understanding in the articles and get perspectives that you didn"t see yourself.»
- This was a good activity in the sense that it showed different perspectives on the papers other than my own.»
- There wann´,t really a lot of discussion in my group. Anne asked a few questions to specific individuals but we never got a discussion going.»
- Felt like a waste of time, sorry. Anne was good though!»
- It is difficult to create an atmosphere of encouraging discussions, in the group I was in the discussion never took off»
- Great seminar, I think the course should include more seminares. »
- more of these, but I was in a smaller groupe and i think it is good for me »
- I really dont see the point of this seminar. there was a lack of goal or function of this seminar, why have one just for the sake of having them? Nothing that wasn"t in the texts were concluded.»

11. The course administration

- Everybody was so happy with the e-mail. I didn´,t get it. All the information was on the course page anyway...»
- iCalendar & on-line web schedule was great!»
- The e-mails was perhaps the best in this course»
- The case PM was a bit confusing in the section describing the analysis and discussion »
- I really like the weekly e-mail. Great to get an overview!»
- Best course administration ever! especially the e-mails, kept us motivated!»
- The best administration of my university career!»

- I can"t decide if i think it was too high or just high. I got a bit overwhelmed by all the articles from the start but in the end you got more used to it. Maybe don"t have as many articles for the first deadline. » (High)
- Behind in reading in the other course, maybe alternating schedule with the other teacher» (High)
- Too much work with the mandatory hand-ins» (High)
- Didn"t focus at all on the other course...» (High)
- Talk to Magnus Holmén and balance your workload in both courses. » (High)
- Skewed distributions between the courses during the period, many hand-ins in Project management, few in Economics of innovation » (High)
- The overall workload was good. The problem was that maybe 70% of my time was directed toward this course and only 30% on the other course. It would be good to have it a bit more evenly distributed. » (High)
- The biggest problem right now when working with the other home exam (Economics of innovation) is that we have had limited time for preparatory reading as all reading in the PM course has been obligatory and none of the reading in this course have been obligatory. Maybe not all of the articles have to be obligatory, instead we could have some obligatory articles in each course. The course examiners need to communicate, agreeing on the workload between the courses!» (High)
- As stated above regarding, we had to prioritize this course over the other one because of compulsory assignment which made us fall behind in the other one which lead to a bad grade there. U guys should definitley try to synchronize your schedules.» (High)
- I learnt a lot, but I worked a lot. It"s proportional.» (High)
- Too many mandatory things, made me fall behind in the other course which im still not i phase with.» (Too high)
- alot of working, little learning» (Too high)
- IF only looking at the course as one course then it was alright. But if putting this course with another parrallell course (e.g. economics of innovation) then it is IMPOSIBLE to stay alive...I GOT FAT because i was studying all the time.. REALLY!...not funny...» (Too high)
- too many and too much work to the deadlines» (Too high)
- To many hand-ins and deadlines. » (Too high)
- If you made this a 15 credit course without changing anything, I don"t think anyone would raise their eyebrows. It is one, if not the best course I have taken at university. But there has been way too much to do. Mind that I think every part of the course was relevant tough!» (Too high)
- Too much mandatory parts etc. I didn"t have enough time for the EoI course, please make an effort and try to help the students spend equal time studying both courses!» (Too high)
- It was good to go through Maylor (2010) but it might have made life (one week of my life) easier if we would have been advised to read it before starting the course. It might have said so on the course portal, but an email of this would be really good. The email could also have reminded to buy the book.» (Too high)
- In combination with our Economics of Innovation course it was too much, that course suffered a lot since I did not have time to start reading IoE literature even though I wanted. I like the mandatory hand ins but the amount of articles should be cut down.» (Too high)
- I have never studied as much as this period and I beleive we as students would get more out of it if the pace was lowered. There is no chance this period was 50 h per week as it is supposed to be. More like 70 h per week.» (Too high)
- In combination with the other course, it was just way to much reading. Sadly, since Wickenberg had hand in deadlines regarding the readings in his crouse I read all of his articles and none in the other course (we all did). So now when it"s exam time, we"re screwed. I"m all for writing reflections on the articles like in Wickenberg"s course, but the amount of articles in both courses need to be reduced and they both need to have reflection hand-ins if its going to work.» (Too high)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Design Thinking, Literature seminar (maybe one more)»
- Hand-in of articles and design workshop.»
- The design work shop! The project!»
- Pre-readings, project work, basic-test»
- pre readings»
- The course.»
- The research project»
- the exam»
- thinking workshop»
- The cool way of Jan and his team helding the lectures. It is easy to follow and your not really getting tired.»
- Pre redaings»
- Jan and the research project»
- Maylor and the basic test! And the early opening of the course homepage.. that was good!»
- The mandatory hand-ins of the article-summaries, design thinking workshop»
- The MAylor text book and pre reading assignments»
- The research project»
- The hand-ins.»
- The Literature Seminars maybe have a few more»
- The Literature Seminars»
- The pentagon movie»
- the project »
- Mandatory hand-ins, research project, pentagon wars»
- The professor (Jan) and Ingo and the literature workshop.»

- Weekly emails and the overall administration of the course. »
- Mandatory hand-ins. »

- Case and litterature Seminar»
- Most of the things was very good. »
- Some obligatory reading »
- think everything was good»
- Design thinking workshop and project»
- the home exam. (make it more smaller questions instead!)»
- The mandatory hand-ins are very good. It keeps everyone on track. »
- The hand-outs and iCal-schedule. pre-readings, but suboptimizing right now as the other course may suffer»
- research project was fun but took a lot of time, more than the points it was worth i think.»
- I think the combination of that the literature seminar dealt with topics that were also crucial to the take home exam (Q3) was very important. Otherwise I feel that the literature seminar would have been completely redundant. God knows there are way too many mandatory "assigments" (sv: obligatoriska moment är det ord jag letar efter) in the course already.»
- Design Thinking workshop. It was interesting, funny and useful.»
- Jan»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Decrease the nr of articles needed to reflect on.»
- Maybe have an extra week for the basic test. So saturday of week 3.»
- Information before course start about the early exam. Don"t put exams on saturdays!»
- Seriously, there were to many compulsory activities. I agree that literature seminars are a good pedagogical tool. So are weekly hand-ins, early exams, workshops, research projects, presentations and a home exam. But you can"t have them all, for God"s sake. When you try to incorporate them all into one short course, it just creates a big mess, which stresses students out. We"re just lucky the other course only had two hand-ins, otherwise it would be impossible to keep up with the hand-ins. But now I"ve spent the entire study period completing the formal PM hand-ins, and haven"t learned anything in the other course, which is said to have a very difficult home exam. Don"t get greedy. At least skip the design workshop and the literature seminar.»
- The PM Basics part and the work load in the early part of the course.»
- More design thinking»
- all the mandatory stuff»
- # of articles»
- No external sources on the exam»
- Less workload....»
- -»
- I think that the one that present Maylor should talk about the book. I really liked Lars but I would like to have him in another lecture talking about the real challenges as a project leader. It is very confusing when he talk about his own experience and things that is not as in Maylor, but give him an own lecture and let him talk about himself :)»
- The hand-in after the design thinking. Took alot of time because you had to read additional articles. Also you weren"t really sure if you"re were answering the question... Frustrating »
- The "dugga" on the saturday!»
- less hand-ins »
- The PM Basics lectures »
- Little less deadlines.»
- less focus on fuzzy front end»
- Day of basics test, maybe one more week for it as well as the work load is quite high»
- The quantity of hand-ins and the schedule: too close.»
- The size of the groups»
- The literature seminar was somewhat sleepy, try to wake it up a bit. Try to coordinate better with the other course running in parallell (Economics of Innovation).»
- Little bit less to read? Perhaps a little longer time to prepare for the PM basics test.»
- test on a saturday»
- Maybe it would be enough to have 2-3 articles about one topic instead of 5. »
- Remove the literature seminars! Make the design thinking part smaller!»
- Increase the amount of pages or/and decrease the size of students in the research teams. Also, do not give advice to have two separated scopes. Instead, give advice to make a "pre-study" via phone that assures that the study is feasible. Try to have the same level of advice from the supervisors, e.g. use only Jan but with only one possible supervising-time. Maylor"s book is not really optimal for former I-students.»
- Should get 1 point for each mandatory hand-in though. At least if you have 10 points for DTW hand-in. Personal identification number should absolutely not be disclosed in hand-in documents. We have a Chalmers-id don"t we?»
- Balance workload with the other course»
- The amount of articles and the deisgn thinking reflection, do not grade it, just make us do it and make it a less time consuming task»
- Design thinking workshop - I did not participate in the actual workshop but I think it would be better to have another litterature seminar instead »
- The only thing that I think about is that it would be better to have one (1) important article each week in each course that a summary, reflections and questions are written. More articles can be handed out, but no summary of these are mandatory. »
- Maybe not all of the articles have to be obligatory»
- don´,t know»
- How you examine Maylor»
- Less pre-reading»
- the project, it was too time consuming. less pages or rather two small ones with differene groups instead so one could learn how different groups are.»
- Make this course syncronized with IDY035 to give us more time for reflection. Otherwise one of those courses will be set aside, this year it was the IDY course that fell behind.»
- Try not to have the basic test so early. better descriptions and councelling so you dont feel so lost during the projects»
- I dont see the point of the hand in (yet another one, woho!) after the design thinking workshop. Especially I dont understand why it was graded.»
- Literature Seminar. I found it boring.»
- Ivan and his low energized project supervision»

16. Additional comments

- Tack för en bra kurs!»
- Im not being negative about the course because that i scored bad at the exam. Rather, it was the opposite, i scored among the best in the class. What"s bad about the course is all the mandatory stuff, which takes time and gives nothing back. Consult Magnus in the Economics of Innovation course for how to run a course.»
- -»
- Interesting course with very good lectures.»
- The home exam was good! (with a small reservation depending on how you grade mine)»
- Thank you for a truly great course that tied a lot of loose ends from previous courses together!»
- Ivan should take more effort in his role as a supervisor - he is good but gave no good advises... »
- Good course!!»
- Thank you for a great course and lectures! »
- Jag tycker att det blev lite skev fördelning mellan de två kurserna vi läste denna period. Jag gillar upplägget med att sammanfatta och reflektera men jag tycker att det borde delas upp mellan kurserna. Det blev nu så att man bara fokuserade på denna kurs och var tvungen att släppa taget lite om Economics of Innovation-kursen på grund av den väldigt höga belastningen på dessa två kurser sammantaget.Skulle vara bättre om vi hade lite färre att sammanfatta i denna kurs och någon i EoI istället. Detta skulle skapa en bättre balans.»
- I missed the overall statement why we should do things, like - ask us what we think we should get out of doing the basic test. why we should read artivles. I have learnt alot about different parts, but it would be nice to know your assessment of the course. I will be less frustrated and probably earn a bit more money but what do you want us to learn Jan in particular!? the home exam. (make it more smaller questions instead!)»
- Great work Jan! I think you manage to teach in a fun way, as well as pedagogical. I really enjoyed your lectures and I hope to have you in more classes during the program! »
- when the work load is so heavy its nice to have things clear so you atleast know what to do. I think a lot of extra work was caused by unclear assignment descriptions, just the fuzzyness»
- When I started the course I had some pre-knowledge about the project management, this course helped me to see them apply to real cases and to deepen real projects. »
