Voice of the customer – Feedback given by SV community – Spring 2013

·        Voice of the customer feedback

       Extend the time dedicated for presentations or don't limit the presentation's time
       Presentations 5 -10 minutes to allow more teams to present.  Post summaries on LinkedIn

·         The layout of each session should have more discussions (and less lecture)
      Community insert comments into LinkedIn presentations summaries.  Class discussion around these comments.

·         The syllabus should include a road map of the course and clarify the course's structure and its essence (should be less abstract)
      The Idea will be implemented to the Fall Syllabus

·         Allocate more time for team's breakups
      Give teams structured project-tasks to be accomplished during 30 minute breaks, and two 15 minute breaks for socializing.  Each team will have to report to the community (in presentation or on LinkedIn how they accomplished the task)

·         Get out the building (attend outside lectures or events as a community)
      http://mappedinisrael.com/, Look for interesting conferences/events

·         Use past student's experience
      Extend advisory board, use LinkedIn group of SV excellence

·         Part of the reading requirements was redundant since it wasn't discussed in class
      Use shorter articles with discussions on how to implement the ideas

·         Each team should have a weekly KPI (key performance indicators)
       Find KPI's that are common to all projects, and specific projects to be chosen by each team.  This could be a good class exercise in which each team suggest KPIs for their team and for other team, depending on their project progress stage.

·         Bring more guest speakers with industry experience.
       OK

·         Have more options for a make-up
       Assign makeus from a reading list not covered in class (Makeup Reading List).

·         Use LinkedIn instead of the SV forum. Centralize work in one platform.
      OK.  Use current forum as Class Manager (for example, Apologies).

·         Articles should have more practical industry tools rather than entrepreneurship ones.
       Use course tracks based on customer segments: entrepreneurship, intra-preneurship, and Grad-Research.

·         Devote time at the beginning of the course for personal acquaintance within the community.

·         Automate in-class exercise and make its information available to the community.  

·         Each session a selected team would be the expert of an article and would present it to the community

• ·    If a student doesn't participate in class, he/she should be more active online (forum and LinkedIn group)
• ·    The Teaching Team should give personal feedback during presentation to each team member and not only to the group itself.
• ·    Clarify syllabus for next semester (Winter 2013/14)
