- in the first half of the period I self-studied 9-17:00 every day but as another course, Design Tools, came, I had to divide my time» (Around 25 hours/week)

- Mateusz had a piratepad webpage that was quickly and easily accessable. » (Rather well)
- The recordings in the meetings were great.» (Rather well)
- Maybe the only "bad" thing was when we were supposed to give the final essay on friday instead of sunday, but then it went back to sunday for those who couldn"t make it, so it doesn"t really matter.» (Very well)

- The architecture building needs good reading spaces. The library is an option when it is open. Until recently I have also sometimes lacked school computers, now I found out that there are other computer rooms accessable to me on the third floor. The architecture building is hard to navigate. Is it possible to just hang up maps of the building by the entrances, showing where you will end up if you go down. » (Adequate)
- Good, however there was no real space to work dedicated to this course. In my case I was lucky that some friends doing their thesis on the fifth floor offered me a space in their room, otherwise it wouldn"t have been easy to work at Chalmers. Moreover, the opening hours of the architecture library are quite narrow.» (Adequate)

- I didn"t ask much for help but I had the feeling that the number of students was to high for the teachers. » (Rather poor)
- Good, but the available times for email tutoring were a bit narrow and I think its always easier to ask questions when you talk to the person directly.» (Rather good)
- we used very much our study group for the course. teachers always answered to our e-mails.» (Very good)

- I tried to distribute my workload and do more work when I had less to do in other courses. » (Adequate)
- Once again, it depended when during the course: the workload was fine when it was only this course, but then with the overlap with the Design tools course it became hard to manage everything.» (Adequate)

- It wasn"t completely unpromblematic to combine the course with other courses. The course was only 50% which meant that it was necessary to combine it with aditional studies for many of us. The other courses were all 100% witch made the total workload either 50% or 150%. » (Adequate)
- since i took 2 courses but it was absolutely managable» (High)
- I was working at the same time.» (High)
- I would actually say high periodically: during the overlap of the Advanced theory and the Design tools and at the end of the Design tools.» (High)

- more consultation with main teacher wold be better to consider.» (Adequate)
- Clearer demands on what to bring to the mid-crit/other meetings would have made it easier to avoid the stress in the end.» (Adequate)
- I would have liked to have more meetings, lectures and etc. I know that the course was based on individual work but I sometimes felt a bit alone with my work. Especially when the course is the first one of the year.» (Adequate)
- The schedule was changed often and tutorials was scheduled sometimes only one day before. It was difficult to plan. » (Poor)

- I had a general impression that students from the Urban and Architectural studio had a clearer idea of what to expect from this course and how to get a valuable essay out of it than the students not familiar with Ana from earlier courses.» (Adequate)
- helps to clarify a lot your own interests but can also be an obstacle for the people not knowing their topic» (Good)
- Even if maybe all the goals written on the paper were not really achieved (for example, the part about the work plan for the master"s thesis), I felt it was really good to just start to think about the thesis. It was good to discover that it is actually really hard to formulate clearly our thesis" ideas and to narrow the topic into something coherent.» (Good)

19. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- group work in small groups timely updates from the techers literature to read »
- The idea of the course is excellent and I like the "loose" structure of optional tutorials and group work. Also the feedback has been really thorough and helpful even though the teachers had many essays and students this year, which was great.»
- I like the way small groups are organized which makes learning more personal.»
- group seminar (after first draft)»
- group discussions and to make the hole group read your work to have different perspectives.»
- on-line communication, group work, critique»
- The concluding seminar and the possibility for mail feedback was good. »
- The fact that you have time to start to think and write by yourself about the thesis one semester before it actually starts, so that you lose less time when it starts for real and you are already in the thesis" process in the first semester.»
- The last critique where you read other students texts. »
- The way to get started with the Master Thesis preparations. To be able to work freely with your interests.»
- The writing task. Tutorings.»

20. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- I would have like at least 2 more sessions with both of the teachers, as a one to one comment on the whole text written. It could have helped much more to understand the idea of academic writing as well as improve the final outcome»
- Sometimes it would be good to know a little further in advance when the schedule changes or what will happen each week.»
- I believe this course should be integrated with design studios in order to allow students to further their research into an actual school project.»
- -»
- Try to set the schedule from the start. Can be difficult when all students have different courses and schedules so some flexibility is maybe neccessary, but still, a more fixed structure would be good.»
- I would have liked more lectures/info on HOW to write an academic text. For most architecture students, this is one of the very few times we face an academic text, and a writing course would have been very valuable for me. Also, more meetings/help in the inital phase of the course on what subject to choose/what is suitable for a master thesis, could have been good, as we received no information of what a master thesis on Chalmers should be like prior to the course. »
- It would be really nice to solve the problem of the overlap between the end of the AT&M course and other courses, because I felt I had to "scamp" a little the end of the AT&M, which I think was a shame.»
- Only thong I would change for next semester is to have a minimum of pages written for the mid critic. Would have helped me.»
- More lessons in the beginning where you get to now what is expected with the essay, background, method etc. »
- To have a clearer introduction to what should and could be done in the course, more guidelines from the beginning. »

21. Additional comments

- I think the goal of the course and the final paper do not match with each other. I"ve thought the course was for preparing thesis. Thus,I think in the course, I should have chosen proper topic, researched enough references, set the strategy and developed the argument with logic. But, I think they just pushed to write a 3500-words-essay, though this is not the writing course. I think there are few people who continue thesis with the topic in the course, Advanced Thesis. »
- -»
- A good chance to develop an idea for a thesis, do background research and/or try out a method.»
- it was a necessary course for everybody who gonna start with master thesis.keep offering the course please each semester.»
