- The course topic seems a bit of from what is actually learnt. Ofcourse, an understanding of political power games etc is of great importance, but what i feel is missing is perhaps more practical tips on how to behave, more in life studies of an actual project manager and also perhaps some practical experience in how to think when preforming time-planning for a project.» (Fair)
- I think we should have spent more time studying the theory (Maylor). 2 weeks was short. The project is interesting» (Adequate)
- a lot of life lessons but not as much management (which i am thankful for)» (Adequate)
- The part which address the theory of PM is really good I think. I have really learned lots of important notions when it comes to general PM. The part that makes the impression worse is the Research Project work.» (Good)
- I like Wickenberg"s stories and so on. He"s a very good teacher and make subjects very intresting even if you don"t think they would be from the beginning. But I thought the course should be more about how do I manage as a project leader than how do I reflect about different articles...» (Good)
- Started out with awesome, then became a dissapointment. I would like more practical ideas, rather than academic reading focus. It doesn"t really help me when I start working. » (Good)
- Jag tycker att första delen av kursen var väldigt bra eftersom den var väldigt konkret. Ibland kan man som student bli lite stressad av att man har pluggat så vansinnigt mycket men att man ändå, när examen närmar sig har svårt att sätta fingret på vad man egentligen har lärt sig. Eftersom den första delen av kursen lärde ut specifika modeller och metoder så känns det som att man har lärt sig någonting när kursen är slut. Andra delen av kursen tycker jag var sämre. » (Good)
- The course was not that much about project management. the first weeks were about the course subjects but later on the it was something else. More of a lecture to life, how to cope with some problems.» (Good)
- The course is overall interesting but I have read other courses with a similar agenda. I wish there was more focus on leadership and aspects that I think is included into management.» (Good)
- Some parts where better than others» (Good)
- One of the best course that I have had in Chalmers. I really like how Jan present the course. I am sure it will help me in my future carrer, thanks Jan!» (Excellent)
- Väldigt givande kurs som gett mycket bra inputs gällande människors olika beteenden. En utav de bästa kurserna på Chalmers. Anekdoterna och de små berättelserna förhöjer och är ett bra sätt att få oss att förstå. MVG till föreläsaren. » (Excellent)
- Really liked the Basics Lectures and Jan"s lectures. Most of the guest lectures not so much.» (Excellent)
- This is a course where I"ve actually felt after most of the lectures that I"ve learned things that I can use in the reality. » (Excellent)
- Very good and interesting content, good with real-life anecdotes.» (Excellent)
- You are a good speaker, even we didn"t dare to interact so much.» (Excellent)
- I felt that i learnt alot about project management. It was made to a really interesting subjet to me and, changed my view of project management being boring.» (Excellent)
- Kul med en kurs som lär en lite mer än det som står i textböckerna. Bra lärdomar för livet. Också väldigt roliga föreläsningar. » (Best course ever)
- I thought the teaching style was excellent and very refreshing. I have never before had the pleasure of being taught in parables during my Engineering degree course, the teaching, content and learning from this course has been fantastic.» (Best course ever)

About the course

5. This helped me understand the Basics of Project Management

Matrisfråga

- The presentations didn"t help the reading of Maylor" book.»
- I liked those lessons very much. »
- I heard that there was a summary of Maylor after the exam, why was the info not public?»
- I think that Lars was good at teaching. It was interesting to listen to his lectures.»
- Both the handouts and the lectures seemed more like general information for working in companies (and even life events) than to being specifically for PM, which I think it"s very good and very useful.»
- Det var bra att testet var valbart att göra i början av kursen. Lättade lite på arbetsbelastningen i slutet och man hade en bra grund att stå på när man sedan läste artiklarna. »
- Bra, gillar verkligen parallellen med hur han jämförde att sälja in visionen med Utvandrarna. Åter igen bra stories som förhöjde föreläsningarna. »
- I had almost forgotten that Lars also adopted the "parable" style of teaching PM Basics, another enjoying part of this course!»
- Excellent lectures, presented enthusiastically and kept my attention throughout (which doesn"t happen very often!)»
- Most of Jan"s stories are excellent, especially because the stick to your head. But then again, we didn"t have that many lectures with him. I would like to benefit from his experience (thought I would prior to the start of the course).»
- Lars did a good job to make me understand the basics of PM and make the reading of the book much easier»
- Lars was really good. »
- It was good and interesting to get knowledge about the basics early in the course. »
- Lars keeps an uniteresting topic interesting»
- Very intensive start to the course»
- I usually finds the hand-outs to be hard to read in the alone context. I would like to get them in a form before the lectures so that it is possible to take notes in them directly.»
- Would have been helpful with more detailed lecture hand-outs»
- »
- The lecturer were very intresting, and i felt i learnt alot from them.»

6. The Pre-readings

Matrisfråga

- Maybe there were a bit to many articles to reflect upon, as it is kind of much work with the course even without the articles.»
- Feed Back is crucial, it is not about limiting people"s imagination but guiding. If there has been an effective Feed Back the impact of the hand ins would have been immense. »
- To be honest, I thought that the pre readings were boring and pretty difficult to read. I.e. keep them as a mandatory hand in, I wouldn"t have read the otherwise.»
- I can imagine that when I would have put more effort in the preparatory work, I probably would have had a higher learning outcome. But due to lack of motivation and time (also student syndrome) I did not. Making them mandatory probably increased my extrinsic motivation (oh...I learned what that is ,) I think one article per week is more than enough. You can concentrate on just one and maybe increase the quality for this one. In my case, I would have had one good relection rather than two bad ones. Iron triangle: Less work for the same amount of time, will increase quality.»
- Bra med hand ins varje måndag, men vissa texter var lite väl långdragna.. »
- Although I do enjoy learning new things for the sake of it, the thought of doing the preparatory work did seem tedious to me. I will not lie, it was tedious work, even after completing the work I still think of it in the same way. However, the benefits I have gained as a result of doing this preparatory work definitely outweigh the drawbacks of having to invest the time in this work.»
- While some of the articles were really good, some felt as if they had been put there just to mess with us in terms of it beeing difficult to understand or taking a long time to read without actually touching on the topic so directly (for example the power in a school system article).»
- I like that I was pushed to read and write these texts. But then again, it is a lot of work (parallel to the PD project, which is even more work). I was very motivated in the beginning, later the hand-ins were only another thing I had to tick off my list. I think two texts in one week is too much and took the motivation of most students. One per week should suffice to bring the point across.»
- Great with late hand-in though»
- One article for a week had been enought. Then I have been able to put more focus in writing the summaries and reflections.»
- Too much reading. you got stressed and didn"t get the whole picture of the reports some times»
- Took a lot of time and effort for me to complete as I am not used to reading a lot of text and analysing it in this manor, but I realise its value and the importance of the skill. »
- Unfortunatly, I didn"t managed to deal with all the pre-readings. It was hard, because I may be this kind of people who rather not do anything than do something fast ... My bad, I have to improve»
- I really see the need to have the deadlines. I felt i started a bit uninterested in the articles but felt that the more i read the more i got interested in the subjects. »

7. The Lectures

This was a good lecture

Matrisfråga

- The other course sadly got prioritised »
- I probably had attended more lectures if there not were clustered togheter, 4 hours a time.»
- PM and the shadow system was the best lecture I have attended to date, I can say that I did not lose concentration at all throughout the course of the lecture. I was not able to attend three of the guest lecturers lectures, but of the two I did attend, I did not gain much from them in terms of learning. Although I would say that I gained some knowledge on how presentations can perhaps not go so well, or maybe how students fail to get the point of lectures. In general, I found the lectures from the course lecturers useful, but the guest lectures not so useful.»
- Did not have Time to attend to many lecture due to priority of research project and other Course with a big project»
- The learning by telling all personal stories did not speak to me at all. I dont want to learn that you have three motorcycles in your garage, and still I remember that better than the actual conclusion of the story... I"m sorry but it is just not for me...»
- Less stories and more to the point please »
- Jan"s lecture of the shadow system was without a doubt one of the best lectures I"ve ever attended to. This sort of lectures makes me want to go to uni because it is not only teaching content I can read in a book by myself. It is experience I would have to gain over years (like Jan emphasised). It also gave me motivation to look into this subject after I have attended to it. Not like most lectures you go to, listen to it, go home and forget about it. It made a good course an excellent course.»
- Too many lectures. Many covered things that all the students should know by know, like the last tollgate lecture, feels frustrated to go when Jan does not put any effort into knowing what we already should know. »
- It is quite difficult to rate. I feel like it depends on previous knowledge. To be honest I have heard a lot of the things before.»
- Near the end, closer to the hand in of the report the team decided as a group that time was to be better spent working on the hand in than attending some of the lectures, this was a decision that had to be made as schedules regularly clashed. However I regret missing the lectures. »
- I feel the guest lectures were good, but offcourse the quality of the speaker was different. »

8. The Research Project Work

Matrisfråga

- We did the student assessment as a Team telling the positive and negatives perfomance of each Teams. It was really good to see how the others see you, your weak and good points in the project. Very useful to learn more about yourself and about how the others perceived and it help to improve for future projects works. Really liked the idea more than do it individual and without see the feedback of the others (as we do in the rest of the course where only the supervisor gets the feedback and not the student, it doesnt help the student..)»
- The most difficult part was to give feedback to other students. I was used to give individual anonymous feedback, but not being straightforward.»
- The project work in my experience suffered a lot due to the 2 easter weeks in the middle of the period, maybe some measure to avoid losing all the working momentum could be implemented»
- Not so much help from the supervisor but I guess it was on purpose. I guess it was to make us think about it by our own. But maybe a bit more help would have been good.»
- No one prioritized the presentation and the opposition»
- The fact that you constantly only left negative feedback without any positive response really got us in a bad mood. Also the fact that your supervisor meetings where more about bashing us with what we did wrong and telling rethorical questions to make us look bad did not help. To have the mentality "I cannot help you cause i am the examinator" feels like B/S. Of course i understand that you cannot say "Write about this, use theese references etc." but to give an indication of wether we are going in the right direction or not could really have been nice to recieve. I have never recieved so little support from a supervisor ever, and i feel that the learnings from the course thus have been less than what they could have been. We are in this to learn something right? Not to prove that we already can do something. Therefore i think it is wrong to have the mentality of not giving out positive/helpful feedback if you are interested in a higher grade... And if you cant handle beeing both the examinator and supervisor then just do one of them, and dont use that as an excuse to not give out feedback.»
- We felt a bit left alone with finding our research question. I know that it was part of the course to deal with uncertainty, but it doesn"t change the fact that it was frustrating and shaped my subjective opinion towards the research project. I think a little bit more help from our supervisors would increase the motivation and fun students would have with this project. »
- The student assessment could also include an individual feedback from each of the members to the supervisor. Sometimes we hide our opinion in order not to be impolite or harmful. »
- A million lectures, but none on rhetorics and presenatationskills. Get rid of the how to write lecture. »
- Did not get the feeling of help by the supervisor rather he pointed out where we were wrong but not how we could think to fix it. He could have warned us for the first topic we chose early but instead he vaited til final week. To be fair we had not much contact with him early either. »
- I think the supervisor could have put more effort in to helping. The feedback was cryptic and vague. »
- The research project work should have larger roll in the course. Now the maximal point are 40p, it could be 50p and 30p for homeexam because of there is much more effort put in the project work.»
- The most problematic in other group was that we had courses in different blocks, and upon that everyone had another project work. Therefore it was very hard to find time to discuss everyone. »
- Effort definitely needs to be made helping student to find a research project, so that they have more time investigating it.»
- Private peer assessment would be preferable as the Swedish members in our group felt they didn"t want to cause offence by saying someone had done less work. Even though this was the reality of things. »

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

9. The course administration

Matrisfråga

- The information has been good but sometimes too much. I appreciated to get the information needed and the course felt structured which is good. However, a lot of text could have been omitted and it would be easier to get the information that was really important.»
- It would have been better to have all the hands out for the pre reading (pdf)»
- This course was fantastically maintained on PingPong!»
- Pretty much the best way to deal with information distribution I experienced at Chalmers.»
- Very good to get updates about the changes in the schedule. Although the weekly emails were most of the times very long they it was helpful information in them. I would prefer to get them on a weekday though. »
- It is good to have a google-calender for live updates but since I cannot edit it in myown kalender (ad colors and change times) I felt a bit loked. Rather have an email sent if there is a change. »
- Very difficult to find the correct articles without a link or even a title.»
- Good Job Jan with organizing that! Thank you for that! Of course, when teaching project management it should be kind of natural, but you did the best organized pingpong/digital administration I ever had in a course. And the automatic iCal calendar was very useful as well. Thanks again!»

- intense first two weeks but then chill» (Adequate)
- It seemed high at times, but this was purely down to student syndrome.» (Adequate)
- It was high but possible to handle with some organization by yourself. » (Adequate)
- specially the project work, lot of work in a few weeks» (High)
- Sometimes too high, sometimes nothing. Would be nice to even it out a bit...» (High)
- This is a course were you can decide pretty much yourself how much effort you want to dedicate. The pre-reading can be done in 10 minutes if you don"t care, as well as a couple of hours if you really find it interesting. The same thing applies for the preoject work, but the you have to communicate with your group of course.» (High)
- It was higher than other courses, but I find that being OK.» (High)
- High but good, learned a lot!» (High)
- high workload because of the pre readings» (High)
- This course was a lot of work, but perhaps suitable for a Masters course.» (High)
- Especially towards the end of the course it felt too high, which possibly comes from the increasing workload of the PD project. At the end I just wanted to get it over with, which is really a shame. Maybe the workload could be distributed differently in the future, meaning more in the beginning, less in the end.» (High)
- but i guess that was the point. » (High)
- Too much reading o fthe articles, one for each week is enough. Deadline on friday instead of monday.» (High)
- I could really don"t see the point of the presentations. » (High)
- The structure was confusing and I did less than I wanted to.» (High)
- Having hand-ins every monday at noon kind of destroyed every weekend during this reeding-period. One article per week would have been enough.» (High)
- Challenging and very scary at the start but I learned a lot ...A LOT. » (High)
- I did know from the beginnig, that the workload was going to be high. I expected to put in some effort.» (High)
- I think it"s enough with either the research project or the home exam, as you both have mandatory articles and another basic test to pass.» (Too high)
- Not 7.5 points if you like a higher grade. » (Too high)
- In relation to other courses, it has a lot of content to be 7.5 credits. I altough know that you warned us in the beginning, so I guess it is your own fault right?...» (Too high)
- There were too many mandatory elements. I don"t think there should be three mandatory exams.» (Too high)

11. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The great organisation and supervision in the course and the real-life research project»
- All Jan"s lectures»
- Basic test The lectures Project work Student Assessment of group work»
- Research project, lectures preparing for exam»
- I liked the lectures»
- Home exam and project research work. »
- Project work»
- The basic test. Jan Wickenberg"s stories.»
- The course structure including all the Lectures, RP and the Hand ins»
- The basic lectures and test.»
- The chance to take the basic test at the beginning and at the end. The Research Projects should be preserved.»
- I liked that the PM Basics Exam was at the beginning of the course, being it that way, allows and forces you to know the theory before you start doing the Report based on that. I couldn"t think of a better way of doing so.º»
- The PM basics lectures were very interesting and dynamic, the style of these lectures could be applied in some others»
- everything»
- Föreläsningarna som Jan höll i! alla små historier, dom var både roliga, givande och lätta att komma ihåg vilket hjälper när man själv ska försöka analysera något. »
- Alla anekdoter, och gärna några till. Att man köttade basic teorin på de två första veckorna var bra! Hon tjejen från Volvo som pratade om kvinnors frånvaro i högre nivåer. Mer om det!»
- theory, Maylor, project»
- The preparatory "hand-ins" work»
- The same motivation of the teachers»
- I like the home exam and the dugga»
- The RPW»
- Jan"s stories - made it much easier to remember things»
- The overall format was good.»
- Research project »
- Jan"s lectures and his enthusiasm for the subject itself (and teaching it). »
- Lectures of PM Basics, the group project»
- The mandatory hand-ins»
- RPW»
- The first two weeks and politics lecture»
- The lectures. I learned a lot on the lectures. I had a hard time to get real good information from the guest lectures. But i guess it"s always difficult for them to know how much we know and what we are interested in. »
- The research project and the pre-readings. It was those elements that really gave the most in terms of project management experience and training of analytical skills. These elements also made the course stand out from other courses in a positive way, compared to courses that only have lectures. »
- Lars and Jan»
- The litterature seminar was great.»
- Research project and basic PM test.»
- Första delen av kursen var väldigt bra och skulle kunna ta upp större del.»
- 1 article/week»
- Overall layout of the course, with examination split over three different parts. The possibility to write the home exam in pairs was also nice, as it is always good to spitball ideas.»
- The real-life stories are fun and make sense for learning and remembering, so keep them. And Jan of course.»
- The articles, but I think they should be included in the workload more and remove other things. »
- The opportunity to pair-write the home exam. The basics test both in the beginning of the course and at the end.»
- Research projects »
- the research work»
- Maylor, The research project work, lectures by Lars and Jan »
- The general outline of the course.»
- lectures, project and home exam»
- The reading of the articles should defenetly be kept, with their deadlines on Monday.»

12. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- The weekly pre-readings»
- Academic Reading and Writing conserve but improve with more revelant information. Avoid guest lecture two days before easter holidays (I couldnt attend becouse of this, it was cheap for me have my holidays two days before easter but I couldnt attend the last lecture before easter and it was a pity)»
- The examiner shouldn"t also be a supervisor of some groups since it definitely causes a problem when it comes to getting feedback on the work which has been done. I understand that the supervisor is not meant to feed with ideas but it felt like we didn"t even get the chance to understand what was actually wrong with our work, but rather just saying it was bad. It felt like the meetings with the supervisor didn"t really clear up the questions we had but rather created more since it was very hard to follow what he meant. There was clearly a lack of understanding regarding what the students actually understood from the stories or rather riddles that were told. »
- Start with research project day 1, to have more time to find a project and schedule interviews»
- The supervisors ability to give feedback in a pedagogic way, which unfortunately was lacking in this course. Only bringing up the negative aspects is not the best way to help the students.»
- less guest lectures, more of management lectures, better way of research project»
- the workload»
- Feed Back mechanism for the hand ins and the Project size»
- Well, maybe the pre-readings. I dont think it gave me very much.»
- Find the project on yourself was pretty hard and we lost a lot of time finding it. Not always the student have an easy connection to the companies in Gothenburg, even if your are working with swedish students.»
- a better balance between storytelling and lecture content can be achieved, 3 hours of stories for 1 hour lecture seems a bit excesive»
- nothing»
- Kanske att det borde vara obligatoriska seminarier på de artiklar man läser. Hade varit givande att få diskutera dem. Men samtidigt kanske arbetsbelastningen blir för hög då.. »
- Ev byta ut några av artiklarna vi skulle läsa. »
- maybe some lectures and the pre readings»
- Some of the guest lecturers (I was only able to attend Sven Antvik and Gregory Bishop)»
- Hand-Ins are not useful»
- I would prefer a case instead of finding an own company»
- Maybe some guest lectures was not that giving»
- Some kind of questionnaire on timetabling could possibly be given at the start of the project in order to make groups that can meet regularly.»
- Less focus on academic stuff and more hands on Project Management that can actually help the students in their careers as PMs or project members. This course puts way to much focus on the academic aspects of PM »
- More lectures with Jan. Less guest lectures since I didn"t gain much from them, not even concerning their presentation style. »
- Some guest lectures were not very inspiring.»
- Not being forced to find a project. It requires too much time»
- Help teams with finding companies»
- Some of the lectures and the articles. More practical parts»
- Since we learned a lot in the beginning I thought that we would use the knowledge more in the end of the course. But I was a bit disappointed that we didn"t get to use it more in the course. I had a longer project work in another course at the same time so i got to use the things we learned. But since the research project work was very short it was difficult to apply things in that project. The supervisions need to be more clear what"s meant to be for. We had some issues in the supervisions and didn"t get much guidance.»
- Make an old PRW available for reference so one can see what is expected of oneself. good if you have never done anything like this before. »
- Provide back up Projects for RPW Groups that don"t manage to find a Project to study within the first few weeks. (Don"t necessarily announce this at start)»
- Get rid of the home exam, adds extra stress but does not give much value to me. »
- Deadline for pre-readings for each fridag»
- Make the mandatory hand-ins fewer but more extensive. I realize one of the points were to make us prioritize etcetera, but perhaps make a few of them more extensive, and remove some of the others.»
- Collective grading of team members, no point the way I see it.»
- The RPW has a bigger focus in the course than I think is interesting. I think there should be a lecture regarding feedback, how to present to management. I would see that you in groups could have workshops or sessions were you could practice the above mentioned things. »
- The hand-ins are unneccessary and does not prepare you for writing research report or home exam, since there is no feedback.»
- Change hand in time for the pre-readings, maybe in the middle of the week instead, and only one article per week.»
- The first exam didn"t realy give much and the to lack of time due to the series of different task within the course made it hard to fully benefit the project work.»
- nothing»
- Gtoup peer assessments »
- Jan shouldn"t be both supervisor and eximinator, this made it very difficult to get help when you needed it. We shouldn"t have so many hand-ins.»
- Some of the guest lectures and more scheduling of group time. Maybe more interaction in lectures, make more challenging and interesting. »
- More support in finding a project.»

13. Additional comments

- In general very good course. One of the best course and teachers (Specially Jan) that I have attend. Congrats!»
- The supervisors should be able to meet for meetings, or have some pre determined times clear for student meetings. It was hard to actually get time with the supervisor.»
- If it could be more interactive with real world problems it would be great»
- Good course. The things that we learn feel relevant for a future job.»
- I liked the course, and it should be mandatory in the first semester of the Product Development Master Programe, before being assigned to the Product Development Project course, so that you have the knowledge and experience of PM before, and so that the workload of having these two courses at the same time limit your overall results.»
- Overall a good course with a fresh style of teaching and very good administration.»
- Väldigt bra kurs överlag man behöver bli lite brain washed då och då! Mer av det på Chalmers. varför varför varför tänket kommer jag ta med mig!»
- Thank you for a fantastic course in Project Management. I feel that I have learned a great deal as a result!»
- To many lectures, felt like a waste of time when the workload was to high»
- It is appreciated that Jan puts a lot of time and effort into this course and one can really feel that he is committed to the subject. The way Jan askes questions can sometimes be degrading and not encouraging, »
- Thumbs up!»
- I found this course really interesting! Thank you for the effort you put in it and to improve it constantly. »
- -»
- I would like to switch the articles to seminars that are compulsary and makes people handel "real" situations and discuss them. »
- Thank you for a great course Jan! I"m more interested in project management after this course. And I want to learn more. »
- Project Management has been an excellent course, probably one of the best i have had on chalmers. It was really able to teach many elements that other courses haven"t touched upon and that you probably will not learn before getting long time working experience. I was unfortunately i was not able to attend that many of the guest-lectures, because the other course in this period also has been very demanding. If i would have been able to attend to more of them the course would probably even given more project management input.»
- Very eye-opening course. Intensive at times but rewarding overall.»
- Learned how to boost my own position in working environment.»
- No.»
- There is a lot of focus on the phycological behavior and hidden agendas in project management, but this is not reflected much upon is the tests. At least this is not my feeling.»
- Articles were sometimes hard to find since my chalmers/summon/whatever page fooled me (account error or something like that). Never understood how that web libraries really worked. So unfortunately it leaded me sometimes to starting with the hand-ins later/to late.»
- In some of my home universities they have little devices they give to each student with allows them to give feed back during lectures. Would be good to gauge options when it is difficult to get students to answer, also will help build a better picture for what is being understood and what needs more explanation and where the interest and experience levels are. I think this kind of proactive feedback would be great in this course. »
