- If the people who laid down the schedule had not put 15 of the lectures on the same time as a compulsory course, I could have attended more lectures, which were helpful if you could attend them.» (Small extent)
- I don"t really see what the lectures (I attended) had to do with Technology Based Business Law» (Small extent)
- the parts covered by lectures attended were much better unerstood than other parts.» (Large extent)
- Verry good techers:)» (Great extent)
- Nästan all kunskap förvärvad skedde under föreläsningar. Mats var en väldigt duktig och metodisk föreläsare och hans föreläsningar var väl motsvarande vad som kom på tentan. » (Great extent)
- the lecturers were all really really great and especially Mats Ericsson was amazingly good with examples and answering questions. if it was not because of his great lecturing art I would not attend any lectures. I attended in all of them. » (Great extent)

- no extent. Textbook was worthless.» (Small extent)
- I have not even looked for the course book.» (Small extent)
- Boken är skit, började läsa den men den motsvarade inte vad man skulle lära sig i kursen och har knappt användt den sen dess. » (Small extent)
- dit not read the book - but the compendium was of course very important.» (Small extent)
- The book "Swedish law in the new millennium" was really bad. It didn"t correspond to what was said during the lectures at all. Skip the book!» (Small extent)
- the course book is not good at all could recoment swedish students to purchase a book in swedish instead.» (Some extent)
- Of course I learned Swedish law through the course material, however. I would have prefered to have more of Business law in the course material!!!» (Some extent)
- the lectures were better than the material. especially introduction to swedish law seemed not to help so much.» (Some extent)
- Statutes were obviously helpful however the book for the course which I purchased I think was opened once. With every classes notes and the statues the book isnt really required.» (Some extent)
- Only the compendium of legislation and acts. Not the text book» (Large extent)

- Didnt know where to look, handels or studieportalen. Clearer communication.» (Very badly)
- First of all the course administration did a terrible job with the schedule, since 15 out of 26 TBBL lectures took place at the exact same time as lectures in another, compulsory course. Second, the web page was hardly used by course administration for spreading information and course material. » (Very badly)
- Scedule and information about seminars wwere not good at all.» (Very badly)
- Why did you have to attend the lectures in order to get for instance the discussion question paper, when it was made very clear from the beginning that all course participant weren"t able to attend all lectures?!?! Why not upload them??! And WHY DIDN"T THE TEACHER USE POWERPOINTS?!?!?! Seriously, this is the 21st century!!» (Very badly)
- The schedule was managed in a terrible way and the forming of groups in an even worse way. The students had to try solving all the problems that the course administrator should have fixed in an early stage. It was also very bad information about the seminars and the handouts.» (Very badly)
- last week was a disaster.» (Rather badly)
- Information about the seminars was poor and available to late. Everything about the seminars was handed very badly. The worst I"ve ever experienced.» (Rather badly)
- Very little material was posted on the course administration page.» (Rather badly)
- the reason for this is that first of all the schedule changed very late and did not fit with the one that was on the page rather late. second of all making groups for seminar did not work at all. The days did not work either so well. more organisation around seminars is definitely needed.» (Rather badly)
- First in the end of the first week a notice on the webpage was posted that the first page was supposed to be a reading-week. Rather late! Info about the seminars where very bad and where posted really late!» (Rather well)
- Slight problem with chalmers website and the timetable at the start but it was rectified quite quickly.» (Rather well)

- Mats spent some time the day before the exam with answering questions to a few Chalmers students. That was worth a lot.» (Rather good)
- the´,re was a bit to much questions from some students which made the teaching wery slow sometimes» (Rather good)
- I guess if I wanted to ask questions, that could be done during the lectures.» (Rather good)
- especially after every lecture, Mats Ericsson stayed and answered questions very thoroughly,.during lectures questions were always answered in a very good way.» (Very good)

- Technology based????? More emphasize on these parts, lectures etc.» (Poor)
- If I had had the possibility, I would have skipped the TBBL course like the majority of MEI students who chose the course from the beginning.» (Poor)
- No relation to business law until the last week of 7. The reason for me attending the course was due to what we talked about during the seminars. Why wasn"t the lectures about this. The whole class wanted more for this material. How to write agreements and such. There was no feedback with good examples of how it should be done. And why was the lectures structured the way they where. Why was there for instance criminal law on the schedule, when that really wasn"t a part of the course. The teacher even said so later on. It just feels as though you were a little bit lazy when having the course with Introduction to Swedish law. If I wanted to attend Introduction to Swedish law, I would have done so. The lectures had absolutely nothing to do with technology based business law!!» (Poor)
- It didn"t have very much with technical business law to do. I missed parts like patenträtt and immaterialrätt.» (Fair)
- I think it is strange that this course can be called technology-based business law. This course should be on an advanced level (since it"s a part of the master) but we had the course together with exchange students only that their course was called "introduction to swedish law". The only major thing that was different in the TBBL was the seminars. But I can hardly say that this course should be called Technology-based just because of the seminars on which I learned very little!» (Adequate)
- for a chalmers student who has not any experience of these kind of basic but very very important law knowledge it is very necessary. » (Excellent)
- I have learnt alot!» (Excellent)
