Comments to the sessions during course week 1 Text 1 Introduction: Basic economic principles were not clearly explained during the introduction. Majority of students don't have background in economic, therefore it was difficult to fol lectures on health economic evaluation. Please for the next course this should be considered. Health economic evaluation is very important for Public health. Dec 10, :34 AM Economic theory: The presention of the theories and concepts was not open, so was difficult to understand. General comments: Health economic evaluation is very important for public health, but very few people have taken this course. Most of the people quitted as they thought the course is very difficult and will not pass on the exam. Please for the next time, more motivation to the course should be considered. Thanks. 2 Som jag ser det fylldes detta i direkt efter den första kursveckan. Det känns därmed inte särskilt angeläget att kommenntera den här. 3 s pace during lectures at the beginning Teachers are probably very knowledgeable, but the quality of their presentation techiques was not very, so their ability to pass on their kinowledge to the students was not so good Information about home assigment was very clear, however it would have been helpful to have recived and discussed several examples of good published health economic articles before doing the assignment.

6 4. Comments to the sessions during course week 2 Text 1 All sessions were ok Dec 10, :34 AM 2 Klasses genomgån av DALYs och QALYs var mkt bra, konkret och förståeligt. Däremot tycker jag att även denna vecka har haft många inslag av dålig pedagogik, kanske är det delvis en språkförbistring från såväl lärares som studenter sida men jag tycker verkligen att detta borde kunna utvecklas. Jag tycker att det är mkt positiva att vi studenter gess möjlighet att ställa frågor, att problematisera är ett sätt för oss att försöka förstå. Därför är det trist när frågorna ibland inte besvaras alls eller när svaren är väldigt otydliga. Ibland har jag också upplevt en viss arrogans dessvärre. Det är möjligt att jag senare i dnena enkät får tillfälla att kommentera hemuppgiften men om inte så gör ajag det nu. Jag tycker att uppgiften var oerhört svår att genomföra utifrån den ringa kunskap som man hade. I början av kursvecka 2 gjorde vi en övning i samband med en förläsning av Kurt där vi fick diskutera vilken typ av analys som var lämplig vid olika exemepl. Exemeplvis en sådan övning hade varit väldigt värdefull att ha gjort innan man skulle skriva sin hemuppgift. Nu satt man istället helt själv och smått förvirrad med en stark känsla av okunskap när man skulle skriva sin hemuppgift och dessutom var det ju oerhört kort om tid. Detta är en halvfartskurs och med tanke på att vi varit en vecka i Umeå vecka 1 och sen bara har en vecka på hemmaplan innan man ska tid igen så blir det kort om tid. Jag vet ingen av oss som arbetar som kände attv i hade tid och möjlighet att göra så bra hemuppgifter som vi kunde. Och detta känns ju väldigt tråkigt när vi nu i efterhand har fått reda på att ett bra arbete kan väga upp ett sämre betyg på tentan. DET tycker jag vi borde ha fått reda på i förhand, då kanske man hade kunnat fördela sin arbetstid annorlunda om det nu hade varit möjligt. Dec 10, :31 PM Så jag önskar mer praktiska och konkreta exempel i undervisningen och mer övning och exemepl utifrån folkhälsa (även om jag vet att det är få). Nu upplever jag att det är mkt hälso- och sjukvård vilekt för mig iaf inte känns helt relevant. 3 Examples are not up to date, would be more pedagogic if teachers had gone through example before thoroughly and have prepared for questions that might arise. The examples might seem easy/simple at first sight, but inconsitency make them complicated. Dec 12, :28 PM I enjoyed the home assignment seminars. nice lecture on QALYs vs DALYs. 4 Good that pace during lectures was speeded up. It would have been helpful to get more personal feedback on the home assigment. After the seminar I was still wondering whether my work was very bad, OK, or very good. I would have appreciated a few written comments, tips or advice from the teacher. Jan 6, :33 AM 5 The notes on measuring incremental cost calculations have a lot of mistakes. Jan 7, :00 AM 6. Mention the three most useful aspects of the course Text 1 1. Priority setting of health care programmes 2. To scale up health interventions 3. Choice of appropriate intervention from different alternatives. 2 Bra att få en grund i detta för kommand earbete. Vidgade vyer med tanke på det mångkulturella deltagandet. Att mer beräkningar på folkhälsoarbete behövs. Dec 10, :42 AM Dec 10, :41 PM 6 of 8

7 6. Mention the three most useful aspects of the course Text 3 opportunity to draft a evaluation plan, present it and the discourse with opponent, as well as the practice as an opponent to another classmate's plan. 4 Examples and group assignments. Alot of time with the teachers Good overview of the different evaluation methods 2. By doing the home assigment, I was forced to read the book and really engage myself in obtaining knowledge 3. I appreciate that there was a lot of lecture time Dec 10, :46 PM Dec 12, :31 PM Jan 6, :52 AM 7. Mention three aspects of the course you would like to have changed Text 1 1. introduction of the course should be broad and include necessary micro economic principles. 2. Time table 3. lecture notices 2 Förbättrad pedagogik Mer praktiska, enkla, exempel Gör allt tydligare, och tänk över tidsplanen med hemarbete. Och behövs det nödvändigtvis en salstenta? Bättre med en hemtenta för att få en djupare förståelse för detta. Dec 10, :42 AM Dec 10, :41 PM 3 Invite discussions with students to a greater extent. Dec 12, :31 PM 4 Improve teacher's presentation skills I would have liked the teahers to bring up examples of published health economic papers and discuss in class, before the home assigment Jan 6, :52 AM 8. Mention three aspects that you felt could have been added to the course to 1 1. Introduction of health economics 2. Home assignment 3. improvement of lecture notices 2 Mere folkhälsoexempel Se ovan! Text 3 1. Have the teachers to give more rel life examples of when and how health economic evaluation is used in Sweden, eg Läkemedelsförmånsverket, Läkemedelsföretag 2. Have the teachers to give more real life examples of how to design questions into a clinical trial in order to be able to make health economic evaluation Dec 10, :42 AM Dec 10, :41 PM Jan 6, :52 AM 9. Other comments or recommendations? Text 1 More motivation to student doing masters program on health economic evaluation. Dec 10, :42 AM 7 of 8

8 9. Other comments or recommendations? Text 2 Jag skulle önska ett lite störrre engagemang och intresse från lärarna att verkligen försöka lära oss detta. Tänk på att majoriteten av oss inte är ekonomer och är helt rookies inom detta område. Jag tycker att det har varit lite väl mkt antaganden om grejjer som kanske är självklara för ekonomer men som inte alls är det för andra. Detta tycker jag dock att Klasse hanterade på ett bra sätt medan övriga får ta detta i betänkande. Gör det konkret, enkelt och tydligt även om det är lite klurigt! Tack! Dec 10, :41 PM 8 of 8
