- Inspiring. I found the gatekeeper concept interesting, finding persons that have great impact on peoples choices. Positions of power not always considered. Easy to understand, tricky to do on your own. Since he had time after the lecture, it would have been nice to get some help, finding our gatekeepers. And to have been a bit more prepared beforehand, at a stage in our projects that would have better supported the search for gatekeepers.» (Quite well)

- Things were explaind in different ways from different teachers...and critics was given in opposite direction to the same problem. Very confusing. You got to discuss internal before telling you opinion to the student! And I personaly think that Kain have to step forward in the discussion... he"s often talkt over by the others...» (Not at all)

- Extremly bad planning and organization... the assignments was catastrophy! We"ve just been doing systems random. And no information about what we were heading for was given» (Very bad)
- It was hard to se the different assignments as steps toward a common end. Rather layer on layer of complexity. I missed a clear structure to follow and how the different parts supported each other. We started whit a gigamap that we built everything else on before we had any idea of what we were doing. If it is possible to start someplace else it would be better. For the following qeustions I was not so pleased whit the structure.» (Rather bad)
- I would have liked a more clear communication and responses from the responsible examinator. » (Rather well)

- It sometimes, during the process, felt like it was easy to get lost in the complexity: "what"s the goal with this?" Perhaps this is natural because it"s an exploratory course. But some more clarity would have made it easier to work and to understand the connection between the assignments. I think the different lectures have been very interesting and nicely diverse.» (Good)
- Very enjoyable. The workload was adequate, maybe a little to ambitious on occassions, yet the overall educational values were very positive.» (Excellent)

30. What should be preserved next year?

- The Prezi presentation, really good tool, maybe even go deeper into it(or similar).»
- föreläsningarna»
- Several tasks»
- The critical discussions. Why not have a discussion after writing the reflection when everyone had time to think?»
- The lesson of Lina Ahlström, Biomimmicry and the Scott lesson.»
- For the most part I would not change a great deal.»
- the application areas should be alitle diverse the building was too restricting»
- Content»
- The reflection paper task and the good literature seminar. The text about leverage points was very good to read! »
- all the areas are quite relevant»
- I think the order and scope of tasks is good, with the four main assignments. »
- Assigment 1, 2 and 3»
- Many good lectures and films.»

31. What should be changed next year?

- Introduce project/site later in the course. Use swot in the beginning to describe something connected to personal experience first. (E.g. Two days of using some different mappings,describing interest/hobbie, then a short presentation). I think this can render some "aha"-sensations, clearifying the whole mapping-idea. When a degree of understanding has been reached, one can better understand what to with systems thinking. Now I feel it got a bit confused regarding the courses intentions. I feel it would be better to get the site later on, since one naturally starts material thinking when given material.»
- inte så stor uppgift. bättre om man gör fler system än stora. visa ännu mer konkreta exempel på resultat som kommit från system tänk. »
- More individual work and several small assignments how to link systems with design.»
- Change groups after every assignment, make the assignment free standing, more lectures by Jaan-Henrik since it was informative and very interesting. I think It would have been easier than mixing with so many different lecturers.»
- The planning of the course...give clear instructions for tasks. And give breaks during lectures! I cant be focused for more than 1,5 hours»
- More time for the individual project. Maybe sacrifice a few lectures which have no close relevance to the project at hand to allow for more time to deliver a well rounded report.»
- Teh bio mimicy course was awesome»
- Seminars»
- Make sure that the lecturers that come knows what preknowledge the students have. And make sure they are prepared for the lectures so that their messages comes out clear and not blurred in the middle of too much talking about irrelevant things. And make them realize that they have about a day or half a day for their lecture and workshop with us. Many of them gave the impression of trying to squeeze in a weeks work into one day. »
- More teaching about how applying systems in reality (not only in design)»
- Layout of the course. Do not start with gigamapping! Some lectures better in sync whit what we was doing at the moment.»

32. Other comments...

- Try to make more interaction between teachers and students at the moment of consultion time.»
- no»
- Quite a relavant course for planners and designers, its importance should be emphasised»
- Note to myself: It"s quite difficult to fill in this kind of form very late. »
