- It was irritating when one of the group members in the VSM-group did not attend and did not give suggestions of how to work/improve the value stream. However, we other 4 members in the group managed the work very well so it worked out well.» (5-10 hours)
- We were very effective, an excellent group (Vsm)» (5-10 hours)
- For each or the total time? I answer with the total time. And I guess that you mean seminar 4 and 6 as group assignments....» (10-15 hours)

- It felt as the demands put on the student was quite Low on the seminars. The work i put in steadily decreased. » (To some extent)
- I think it would have been good to include (both in lectures and examination) more hard facts, as for example some calculations. To understand the philosophy and some tools / methods in general is good, but to gain deep knowledge about Lean it would be good to include thinks like that as well.» (To some extent)
- the seminars absolutely tested if I had reached the goals. If I hadn"t there was room for doing supplementary work with the questions - very good! other courses shall learn from this! the test: Many details in VSM though. I hope I had learnt all things by heart? But I think it was a fair test.» (Yes, to large extent)
- I really like the seminars as it gives you a chance an opportunity to self reflect and keep up with what is taught during the course.» (Yes, to large extent)

- Good lectures that pointed out what the things was about. This made the foundation of my answers in the seminars. But still it was necessary to read the literature. This lead to some students skipping the lectures and only reading the literature...» (To some extent (Grade 3))
- I don"t like that the slides changes right before the lecture and do not get reuploaded. This is something you should have done. I also think that the material from the guest lectures should have been uploaded. Some of the guest lectures were interesting and some weren"t, but in general I like the idea of having guest lectures » (To some extent (Grade 3))
- Which is major cred to you guys since I normally always put "to very small extent" on this question» (To large extent (Grade 4))

- The book is definitly not the best choice for teaching Lean. It is more an adverticement for Toyota. Anyway the book is good and if you are very interested in the subject you have to read it, but for teaching it"s not the best. I think it would be better to choose more papers and only some articles out of the book, if that is possible.» (To some extent (Grade 3))
- The literature was good to use for base my decisions in the seminars on facts. It was nice to always have something to refer to. By reading the articles one gets many different point of views of things, and that is good. Especially when the lecturer has one opinion and another one another opinion.» (To large extent (Grade 4))
- The book explained the concepts good but i dont feel we got the whole view. There were too little info on the downsides of lean. I dont have à clear view when it cant be used, from thecourse i got the impression that it can be used everywhere » (To large extent (Grade 4))
- The articles felt relevant although I should have maybe read the more careful. The book was very good and very helpful to understand what lean is and its building bricks» (To large extent (Grade 4))

- See above, it gives you a chance to reflect during the course. BUT I think that the teachers should be more pervasive and force student to talk more because right now there are only a few that talks.» (To large extent (Grade 4))
- Pretty much all knowledge and insights came from the seminars» (To very large extent (Grade 5))

- Didnt do the "real" assignment and didnt feel that i learned so much» (To small extent (Grade 2))
- The VSM was especially good. Lean game was good as an introduction. Maybe there is needed more time for the case?» (To some extent (Grade 3))
- We did a MFM mapping in the production flow course and it felt very similar and it was the third time we played a lean game (although this one was more extensive), but it is good to do some practical things as well and I like the activities» (To some extent (Grade 3))
- Especially lean game» (To large extent (Grade 4))
- Lean game more so than the value stream mapping» (To very large extent (Grade 5))
- I think this part was great and if it is possible to include more practical work, it would be awesome.» (To very large extent (Grade 5))

- The one talking on org learning only talked about monetary incentives to motivate groups and people which according to other reaserchers never work» (To some extent (Grade 3))
- I"ve learnad a lot from them but probably more about other stuff than specific lean stuff» (To some extent (Grade 3))
- It"s very hard to say that in general. The guest lectures from McKinsey was very good and interesting (Grade 5). But the one about People was not so good. But this is maybe, because of my personal preferences.» (To large extent (Grade 4))

- Yes, continous learning is nice.» (To very large extent (Grade 5))
- It was extremely good.» (To very large extent (Grade 5))
- Thanks to the seminars, there was no need to learn much for the literature test - the seminars "forced" us to read the literature, thus we had all the knowledge in the end. probably the most efficient way to learn - not just "learn and forget", but sustainable knowledge.» (To very large extent (Grade 5))

- We have heard much of it before so a bit to much repetition » (To some extent (Grade 3))
- Too much focus on produktion for me as à mei student. » (To some extent (Grade 3))

- I would say that it is but lean has been a part of so many of the other courses so sometimes it felt repetitive» (To large extent (Grade 4))
- This is why I chose production engineering as a master programme...» (To very large extent (Grade 5))
