- The course have clear goals in the project but the lectures is much repeating the same thing over and over again» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- The goals regarding Catia where not clear which was as diffucult as smarteam» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)
- The lectures and project work do not completely align with the course learning outcome and goals. They could certainly benefit from more structure.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer)

- The requirements for a higher grade do not correspond with the number of hours to be put into the project and my backgroud. Having to learn to program to add functionality to the software in the project has taken a lot more time than one would expect. » (No, the goals are set too high)

Genomsnitt: 2.61 (bidrar till totalt genomsnitt/jämförelseindex)

- There was very little communication between the phd supervisors, course director and students. There was no consistency with the lectures and their content didn"t seem particularly relevant. Examples given in lectures were simply brushed over rather tha n ensuring all students understood. Wikipedia was often used as a learning aid which I personally don"t believe is satisfactory.» (Poor)
- I lost all my respect for this university course, on an advanced level no less, when the teacher referenced us to Wikipedia for further information.» (Poor)
- I thought it should be really good, therefor my expectations where probably to high. » (Fair)
- It has a lot of potential, but the project really dragged the course down. Too much time was spent on just trying to understand the program and too little on the actual core of the course: solving and creating solutions for PLM problems.» (Fair)
- I think its a good course with important content because it links student to a more reality scenario. The project was a bit unclear and you never really knew if what you were doing was right» (Adequate)
- Better guidance would have led to that a deeper understanding of smart team would have been possible. Instead much time was spent trying to fix Rather unimportant things. » (Adequate)
- The course and learning outcomes were good. The time frame for these outcomes were rather unreasonable. The focus had been entirely on this course and project resulting in neglecting the other course this period. » (Good)

14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- Really good supervisors for the project.»
- The content of smarteam. A project, guest lectures. the small exams. Could be some more than two with more clear subjects.»
- The main structure of project and short exam. Learning outcomes. »
- Project»
- The project is good, but a more general disucussion how smartteams works would have been nice..»
- The guest lectures. Especially the last guy from Volvo who spoke about their PDM work. He was very good!»

15. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- The Tutorial for the project should be improved. A lot of things needed for the project set-up were missing in the compendium. In addition of that, the system of having a image file for the virtual machine should be changed. The slowness of the virtual machine made me lost a huge time. »
- the project needs to be updated, I know small steps each year is possible and next year it should be good with a more learning every weak like small tutorials/lab to perform that could do similar task that could be implemented to your own project. Less lectures on "Hi we use PLM" and more lectures on how to develop and implement PLM in an existing company»
- Improved communication between everyone More consistent relevant lecture material More advice available on how to achieve higher grades in the project and more help in terms of scripting as we don"t come from a software background. »
- The catia work combined with smarteam. It was hard to both understand what to do in catia and also it was a very funky way of doing the parameterization. We first got the impression that it wasn"t that important that it was completely correct but in the examination it was very important»
- Change the project to next year. Its unecessary to spend so much time on smarteam and not get any good result out of it. One idea is to have more practical lectures in smarteam in class, to actually understand the basics in smarteam. The tutorials could be carried out in that way.»
- Do not under any circumstance keep the Virtual Machine package, it is extremely buggy and creates a very destructive and inefficient work environment for the students. If this project is to be kept for next year it needs better IT-tools, better tutorials and provide a deeper understanding for the entire system. »
- More alignment between the learning outcomes and lectures. The exact requirements for a certain grade must be specified. The lectures must be better connected to the project and its requirements. »
- Less CAD and more lectures considering SmartTeam.»
- Better guidance in computer sessions»
- The project. I think it would be better to divide the projects into smaller steps or perhaps change the program. I"ve heard of other universities that in similar courses use Visual Basic and MySQL to build very simple PLM systems. Perhaps that would be better, focusing on the creative part and not being held back by the software.»

16. Additional comments

- As a International student I found it difficult to follow everything that was going on and feel alot was just assumed»
- Good with database knowledge!»
- This course is overloaded and take to much time. »
- Suggestions: -Perhaps spend one of the first lab sessions allowing the students to play around in a working smarteam environment where they are one of the users, getting a feel for the possibilities. -Explain the parametrization a lot more and offer better CAD-models than those provided, they were drawn by a very inexperienced person which takes up too much of the ACTUAL course purpose. -Skip the first preliminary hand-in of the report and offer individual stage-gates instead. Too much of how one should have worked instead was discovered during the final presentation, which meant that you have no time to actually learn something new and fundamentally important.»
- Intersting course! Keep up the good work»
