- Lectures are not relevant regarding the brief process. The last lecture was quite useful but should have been set at the beginning.» (Very insufficient)
- I would have liked more connections to reality with case studies. » (Very insufficient)
- outcome1 = participate in the briefing/programming phase, I would have liked to achieve a deeper understanding on the contract forms and other choices which are made during the early stages etc» (Sufficient)

- Regarding understanding, the goal of the course is not very clear. Everything is mixed for the project. Are we working on a brief, a proposal, a feasibility study?» (Very insufficient)

- I do not feel skilled in design process at the end of this course.» (Very insufficient)
- outcome 3 = describe the basic processes of planning and building, no one in our group took the initiative to describe how to deal with sustainability, standars, stakeholders or contract forms etc in a, to me, fulfilling way. » (No opinion)

- No perspectives highlighted.» (Very insufficient)
- outcome 4 = communicate with other actors in the design and planning processes in a professional way: It was good to get contact between architects-civil engineering students, only that our group did not have so many civil engineers.» (No opinion)

- The goals are reasonable but the course should have provided with more knowledge and information at the start.» (Yes, the goals are reasonable)
- Goals are responsible since they are not clearly defined and ambiguous.» (Yes, the goals are reasonable)
- (architect)» (Yes, the goals are reasonable)
- The basics of programming/brief should have been well presented in the first lecture. It was also unclear what was expected from us to deliver. For example, choice of contract, technical systems? This was not asked for in the deliverables document.» (No, the goals are too ambitious)

- Lectures were not very relevant and few were scheduled. » (Very little)
- I would have needed more lectures that would help me understand the litterature. No feedback on the question I wrote didnt teach me anything. » (Very little)
- The optional book I chose was interesting and good for my learning but the compulsory papers were not that good.» (Rather little)
- I have learnt from the lectures about how the process is working in general but we have not had much use of it in our group work.» (Rather little)

- Bad organization. You never knew what information was correct evern if you checkt studentportalen. Very bad and disrespectful that one of the teachers always was late for lectures. » (Very bad)
- there were rather much changes, that was made with short notice only at the portal, this times it could be good to send a mail about to look at the portal. one lecture there were just 15 person on because of short notice and late in the process.» (Rather well)

- it was both good and "bad" to have different tutors every time, it would be better to have one or two so not much time would be to just explain the project. even if that was good to practice during the work process.» (Very well)

- The knowledge and experience of having done projects before varied vastly! there was an uneven ratio of architects to engineers, and the role of the engineers was undefined, which made them not do that much work, The architect students had to teach them how to work in a project.. and unfortunantley did not learn much at all from the engineering students.» (Very bad)
- Very good teamwork between some members while others were absent most of the time and did not contribute. The reason for this has partly to do with interfering schedules, but also social loafers.» (Rather bad)
- I have taken on a much greater work load than the others, but I unfortunately don"t think that will affect my grading since it is a group work.» (Rather good)
- I had high expectations on the course that I wanted to learn the design process from an engineer point of view(am a architect)and from the beginning when I was alone architect I felt that we could do everything together, then it came on more architect that absolutly couldn"t understand why the engineers should cooperate in the actuall design. think this were a cultural issue that was hard to erase. that did the group work more divided and I tried to be the link between everyone. in the end it worked out quite well but with different amount of work time for each person. I think the groups were too big, 4 person maximum would be better, because now it was needed a group leader, a post that noone really wanted to take.» (Rather good)
- Hard to work in big groups» (Very good)

- Didnt learn much, bad organization and very bad lectures.» (Very bad)
- I didn"t learn anything, the lectures were unrelevant and old fashioned» (Very bad)
- It was hard to get a grip of the assignment. Noone really knew what we were going to produce. It was hard to know what to focus on in the assignment. It was rather "blurry".» (Passed)
- I have learnt about the process as such and to work with different professions and how to best use people"s special skills. I also know more about programming than before. » (Good)
- had high expectations before starting the course and they were not really fulfilled, but I learnt how group work can be in a multiculture world and a lot in general about the design process.» (Good)
