Student Feedback
- Dear Professor Hensher... I was a student at ITLS, and I had a fantastic experience there. I received the Sir Hudson Fysh Award and had work experience with PricewaterhouseCoopers via the Post Graduation Work Experience Program. Because of the valuable experience I had at ITLS I think, I was accepted by University of Cambridge to continue my PhD studies. I joined the Centre for International Manufacturing at the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), under the Department of Engineering. IfM has very good collaborations with different universities around the world, not too sure if ITLS has worked with IfM before. I started my PhD in early October, so far so good I feel. I will focus my doctoral research on sustainable supply chain design and configuration (specifically looking at automotive industry). The knowledge and skills I have learnt from ITLS definitely give an advantage for doing my PhD at Cambridge. So I am very grateful for the experience I had at ITLS. I still remember the logistics and transport economics class that you taught, and it probably is the best lecture I ever had. Yang (Kurt) Liu MLM/MTM Syd 2010
- My company is considering entering a new venture that will require new logistics skills. As such last year I decided to do a Masters of Commerce majoring in logistics studies. While some of the general commerce courses I have done in my life as a student haven't been relevant to my work, I thought I would let you know how impressed I have been with the two ITLS courses I have already completed and the one I have just started. I have found the lecturing to be superb and incredibly relevant to the work that I do and have also found the course work to be appropriately designed for practitioners in logistics rather than academics. I have already recommended the course to several people inside and outside of the university. Jonathan Barouch, CEO, Fastflowers Group, 2010
- I would like to thank you for the experience and knowledge that I have gained through your course and for providing us students with interesting and thought provoking courses. Logistics Systems which was a very challenging and at the same time thought provoking subject. I also took Maritime Logistics as well as Project Management and I am happy to say that these subjects were very enjoyable. Dr Ng's efforts in particular for Maritime Logistics were the best I have seen throughout my university education to date. I was fortunate enough to spend a few days in Hong Kong in December and to see the port that was mentioned so often during her lectures. Overall my studies at ITLS have helped me to get into my current job as a transport analyst for Shell Australia in Melbourne. I hope to stay in touch with everyone at ITLS, and I would like to thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience with students. Constantin Vogt-Jordan MCom Syd, 2009
- For the past 2 years I have undertaken a Masters of Logistics Management part time at ITLS at the University of Sydney. Studying part time at ITLS has allowed me to juggle full time work and study and given me the opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge I have gained. In 2009 I was fortunate enough to take part in the Post Graduation Work Experience Program which gives students the opportunity to undertake an internship with logistics related companies whom have an affiliation with the ITLS. During the program I spent some time at Booz and Company, a management consulting company, working on transport and logistics related projects. During my time at ITLS I took a variety of classes from Supply Chain Management, to Organisational Logistics, to classes that focussed on specific areas of logistics such as Maritime and Retail Logistics. On the whole I was very impressed with the standard of teaching and found the course materials to be both up to date and also providing a good mix between theory and practice. All the lecturers in the faculty have significant expertise in their respective fields and bring a wealth of knowledge to the classes that they teach. In my final semester in 2009 I undertook a subject called Organisational Logistics, which in my mind was able to cram a lot of the management theories and tools taught in MBA courses into one semester. The lecturer Peter Lok, who has extensive experience in management consulting both domestically and internationally, and has taught a number of MBA courses in the past, was able to compliment the teaching material with many of his own personal experiences which made the class both very informative and interesting. Of particular interest to me personally was Peter's experiences working with Chinese companies and the similarities and differences between the management styles of Chinese and Western companies. Having previously studied Mandarin in my undergraduate degree and spent a year studying in China I was keen to enquire about job opportunities for foreigners in China. Peter was nice enough to put me in contact with some of his business contacts in China, Jim Wang CEO of Baodao Optical Group, a personal friend of Peter's, and after some information exchanges, and a personal recommendation from Peter, I was fortunate enough to get a position as CEO's Assistant with Baodao Optical which is one of the largest optical manufacturers in China, working on their large scale logistics re engineering project. This is an extraordinary opportunity for myself, a great achievement for ITLS, and sets a precedent for a foreigner (just graduated) to obtain such a position in China. In addition Chinese government labour regulations stipulate that work visas for foreigners can only be issued to those with special skills. I am confident going forwards that the knowledge and networks developed while studying at ITLS will be of great benefit to myself in my new position in China and am keen to maintain links with the ITLS through out my career. I would therefore like to thank the teachers and tutors from ITLS for all their effort over the past two years and look forward to my new career in the logistics industry in China. Ashley Crawford MLM Syd, 2009
- I am back in the Netherlands and telling everybody what a great time I have had in Sydney. For 2.5 months, I have visited ITLS as an occupational trainee to analyse the data of my choice experiment on the valuation of environmental services. The main reason for choosing ITLS was its leading position in the field of discrete choice modelling. Although my visit was short, thanks to great supervision and regular meetings, I have had the chance to rapidly improve my modelling skills, apply the latest techniques in discrete choice analysis, but also, on a more general level, learned to think more strategically about a PhD and publications. I am very grateful that ITLS offers such opportunities to young researchers and takes supervision seriously. Marije Schaafsma, Institute for Environmental Studies, VU University Amsterdam, 2009
Analysis Tools for Transport and Logistics [TPTM6495]
- Very challenging material, but it was presented very professionally. Matthew this year went out of his way to create podcast summaries of the lectures. He has also made results available faster than ever - very quick response with clear feedback, and even examples of 'best performance', that's something I've often wanted. I can imagine taking this course with someone who hasn't planned it so well and doing significantly worse than I have done.
- Matt has made the information very relevant and connected it to real world situations. If I ever get a chance to demonstrate some of the Linear programming or simulation skills I have learned in this course at my place of employment I expect it will be very impressive - personally I am impressed by the skills I have learned.
- The regular quizzes that keep us up to date with material, and explored avenues to make the material accessible and understandable.
- I'd just like to express my thanks for your hard work and efforts teaching TPTM6495 Analysis Tools for Transport and Logistics. I enjoyed the course very much and was very happy with the learning experience.
- At the last Faculty Student Reference Group meeting students were asked to comment on what is working well within the Faculty. You and you work were singled out by a number of students, whose comments included: Matthew was very helpful espcially with intensive units. I am delighted to be able to pass on such glowing praise. Congratulations.Michele Scoufis, Director, Office of Learning and Teaching in Economics and Business
- The lecturer and tutor are very friendly and very nice. They are always quick to respond to our enquiries and help with questions. Matthew is definitely one of the best lecturers I have had.
- Good combination of lectures and lab work. Multimedia files are a good learning tool and labs and lectures are engaging.
- [the best aspects of this unit and study are]...interpretation of materials, feedback from quizzes, discussion boards, assignments, organisation of the entire unit, commitment of the lecturer and the usefulness of the things learnt.
- The teaching in this unit really pushed me to learn.
- The course is very informative and our lecturer's explanation is logical and clearly arranged, making understanding much, much easier. Matt is a fantastic lecturer, the explanation about this course is just beyond my wildest expectations.
- The lecturer and tutor are very good. Multiple choice in each tutorial urged us to learn what we were taught in lectures.
Geographical Information Systems [TPTM6180]
- Dear Stephen, I undertook a course with you (TPTM6180 - GIS) in the second semester of 2009... The reason for my writing this email is to share something with you and in turn thank you for teaching that particular unit.I am currently working with Dial a Dump Industries, a fast growing Waste Management company and entered the firm through the ITLS Post Graduation Work Experience Program. Ever since I have joined the company, my knowledge and understanding of GIS has helped me not only make a dynamic impact on the management, but has enabled me to change numerous procedures and solve many issues that existed within the fleet management and fleet allocation departments in the company. Even though I am not using TransCAD at the moment, the very fundamentals on which GIS rests have helped me immensely in my job and I must say, I did not expect this to happen to me when I undertook this unit. In summary, if I had not taken that unit and had it not been for your exceptional guidance and course content, I would not have been able to reach my current level within the company. Thus I would sincerely like to express my gratitude for your support and guidance. GIS is a fantastic unit and a must for all students undertaking Logistics Management. Thank you once again. Akshat Bhargava MLM Syd

Logistics in Humanitarian Aid Projects
-
I just wanted to quickly note my very positive comments for the subject TPTM6390 - Humanitarian Aid Logistics that I undertook and completed this past semester ( Semester 1, 2010). The lecturer had a unique, instructive and professional way in delivering the course material and re-enforcing the topic coverage. This was my first Transport related subject and due to the very positive experience of TPTM6390 and the lecturer, and due to the fact that I have another semester to complete my Internation Business studies, I decided to enrol in a further elective next semester in Transport TPTM6260 International Logistics.
Logistics and Supply Chain Management [TPTM5001]
- I would like to nominate Mr Jeffrey Newton for 2011 Teaching award. I think, he is excellent in teaching and most importantly he is immensely supportive and co-operative to the students. He is always there for the students, talking about assignment, how to do well, how to prepare for exam. He always provide quality information in his response to the email. Most importantly, he is motivating person.
- I would like to nominate Mr Alan Win for an Outstanding Teaching Award. The reason I wish to nominate Alan for this award is for how approachable he is and for providing us with the best lectures ever. He makes the class so much fun, one example I can give is that he came to class as a sales manager for our group project and he dressed up as a woman which was really entertaining at the same time he provided information in such a way that we were all able to concentrate a lot, all classes that I attended of his were just like those, very entertaining at the same time highly informative. The efforts that he has put into making the class so interactive and entertaining is absolutely amazing. He is very open to students opinions and very approachable as well. He is always there to solve students' problem, he never hesitates to help students. He sets aside his priorities to provide assistance to students. That's how good he is! I personally think he is the lecturer who is eligible for an Outstanding Teaching Award because he is simply outstanding.

What attracted me was that you presented the whole and complete business model far beyond the so-called Organisational Logistics. I liked that you were talking about DELL, Canon, Innovation, Talents....... As a rational person, after the semester, most of my study materials I would throw away. But I will not do the same thing with the PowerPoint slides, which highlight precious, useful, profound and interesting issues. I am highly proud of myself that I have a chance to be your student. I hope that more and more teachers, tutors, or lecturers should be like you, who master what the needs of students are, and what ways you influence others to make the progress of the entire society.
Project Management in Supply Chains [TPTM6310]

The reason I want to nominate her for this award is the excellent way that she teaches in class and going into detail every aspect of the tutorials, she has gone that extra mile to make students understand what the subject is all about and I have to appreciate the efforts that she has taken in doing so. She relates everything taught in class to current affairs which helps in advancing our knowledge not just about the paper but every aspect involved in it.
