- The first 4 weeks could be cut down to two. After that all new groups said the same things over and over. It was very stressfull working like we had to back then.» (Passed)
- A very comprehensive analysis, where the structure helps a lot to manage the intensive work. I learnt a lot.» (Very good)
- Excellent option is missing! » (Very good)
- Working in several different groups in quick succession gave a unique chance to reflect on working processes and group dynamics. Experiences could be applied directly.» (Very good)
- The connection and build-up was explained in the beguinning, but I still didn"t really got it until almost after Part A. Even more clearer explanation needed!» (Very good)

- To low tempo in relation to the preceding assignment. Some quick workshops instead of pig safari might have changed my mind...» (Bad)
- Temaveckan var väldigt intressant, men den var inte så anpassad för de engelskspråkiga studenterna (filmen vi tittade på som Pål Castell visade). Det var också dålig information om hur det var tänkt med mat (om man skulle bli tvungen att köpa mat eller om det var möjligt att ta med matlåda på de olika dagarna). Det var också två föreläsningar som hade väldigt lika innehåll (minns inte vilka det var, men det var två gästföreläsningar). » (Passed)
- It was fun but next to useless for the final design project in most, if not all students cases.» (Passed)
- It was a good topic, with an engaging design task, but the level of the lectures was way too low. Alot of them repeated the same bacis information over and over. » (Passed)
- First approach and visions for future development of Mariestad. Some ideas implemented in the in-depth projects. Also a break from analysis part A.» (Good)
- I missed some practical work» (Good)
- Very nice to meet the students in the other MPDSD-studio, but still to keep the focus on Mariestad. Good placement in the overall planning.» (Very good)
- The thematic week was good but more difficult to integrate. It broke with the structure of the rest of the course. Still I think it was very valuable to work with the other studio and perhaps most of all the students from Mariestad. » (Very good)

- For me personally it was difficult to handle the freedom during six weeks, and sometimes I felt like I was not doing anything meaningful. Our group consisted of very different people and that was both an opportunity for learning and a difficult challenge. » (Good)
- Too little time! But otherwise the best part of this entire course. To work on our ideas and then meet up for consultation with skilled professionals and our tutors. Fantastic, but as I said too short. This resulted in working over-hours each day.» (Good)
- Very nice to be able to choose your own topic based on your intrest!» (Very good)
- Bra med regelbunden handledning och support!» (Very good)
- 1)Maybe 5 days more are necessary for developing the projects.(not for translation part)So, projects could be more in depth in the design part. » (Very good)

- I could have sought more help and advice, I realize now, if only I had found the right questions» (Large extent)
- Without doubt one of the most excellent courses that the department offers.» (Great extent)
- Good lecturers. Could have wished for more lectures on more explicit "sustainable cities". For instance the cities in China coming up, or similar. Successful transformations would also be nice to get someone with knowledge to talk about. The theme is planning, but as a process/outcome, it feels more like "ideas" for a sustainable Mariestad.» (Great extent)

- Jag tycker att litteraturseminarier är väldigt bra och intressant, men i den här kursen där det är ganska mycket att göra, är det inte riktigt lika prioriterat att läsa in sig och det kändes som ett störande moment när det var annat som skulle färdigställas. Dock ett trevligt tillfälle att träffas och diskutera.» (Passed)
- The gender issue is an important one, but I don"t know if I could have stressed it (more) in our project.» (Passed)
- Good assignment but not enough time to read all material, which is a pitty.» (Good)
- I don"t know about this part. Great that we moved it to later in the course, but to little time to make it justice. Doesn"t feel that that much was learnt from it, sorry..» (Good)
- 1)Inspiring material for in depth projects. 2)Learn the terminology. 3)The gender issue should have a lecture because is a "strange" topic.» (Very good)

- Maybe be harder when dividing the tasks before the final exhibition. The translation and proof reading is hard work, and all swedish students should help doing this - while other students should take care of the rest.» (High)
- High and very fun!» (High)
- It was too high because we had to focus on things (reading litterature and preparing seminars) which we immediately at the time felt were diverging from our goals of what we wanted to archieve with this project. Costed time which we rather would have spent on the Design Phase where the concrete investigations needed for the project were being made.» (Too high)

- It is probably a very good course, but it didn´,t fit me or my personality or my private situation at the moment.» (Adequate)
- few things need to be fixed» (Good)
- Best course so far in Chalmers - by far!» (Excellent)
- The most well-organized course and experience in my whole life from the first day till the last one. In the beginning, first day, the schedule seems scaring and huge but finally it has good pace.» (Excellent)
- the best course I have taken on chalmers. » (Excellent)
- Best course ever!» (Excellent)
- Learnt a lot. Sometimes difficult to see during the course how the analysis make you a better architect, but I think I got t now afterwards...» (Excellent)

22. What should definitely be preserved to next year?

- The presentation in Mariestad (or Tidaholm next year) - really fun and intresting to hear what the politicians and inhabitants think of the projects. The general repitition before the final presentation was also really helpful! The parties is nice and brings the group together. »
- different groups in different parts, students get to know everyone in the studio»
- Teachers, Coordinators»
- The structure, the lectures and people responsible. The numerous smaller presentations during autumn build confidence for the final presentation.»
- Allt utom litteraturuppgiften.»
- 1)Professors first of all. 2)Common trip during the first week binds together all the students. 3)Literature studies. »
- the wonderful teachers! the great layout of the course. the pep-talking and genuine care for the students. the special focus on team spirit. the time spent on practicing presentation-skills. »
- Design phase ofcourse (just prolong it with a week atleast). The first 4 weeks of investigations could be shortened to 2.»
- The A,B,C - part, teachers and assistances, well organized structure and handouts, »
- The overall structure and the study climat, I have meny new friends.»
- part B and part C »
- Part B was good, more time would have been helpful»
- Possibility to get feedback on presentations (Lisa), wonderful festivities and inspiration (Amanda and Paul) and thoughtful planning (Lena).»
- The close cooperation with the municipality. Staffing. General layout of the studio. »
- The teachers »
- Most of the course. It is one of the best courses I ever took. »

23. What should definitely be changed to next year?

- Maybe cut down on the compulsory litterature, or give us more time to read it. »
- Content of some lectures, so information doesnt repeats too much, book about sust, development and methods, should be read way before selecting which themes the group is going to work with »
- Urban farming week.»
- Se över innehållet och upplägget av temaveckan. Ta bort litteraturuppgiften.»
- 5 days more for in depth projects.»
- one seminar would be enough, or maybe skip the book summary? I don´,t think anyone actually uses it afterwards. »
- Would be better to have a week to prepare (questions/general knowledge about the city etc.) before the first study trip. »
- part A to be shorter»
- 1. tutors that have prior knowledge of our site so they can actually be helpful. Krystal was the worst tutor I have had in my entire academic life 2. The broader context was not useful and that time would have been better spent on design 3. The expected level of work was too low. This course seems to be at the level of first year bachelors for me. 4. More time with tutors and maybe some more lectures would have been more helpful than seminars or book reviews »
- A new approach to the urban farming week.»
- Maybe to try to get more difference between the projects? Many delt, finally, with sort of the same things. Encourage and suggest new subjects maybe? A lot a focus was put on water, I think, because of the (good) workshop with REposition. Be aware of the power such a workshop will have. »

24. Additional comments

- Thank you for a wonderful course!»
- Overall a great course!»
- Jag har haft underbara och duktiga lärare i kursen! Tack!»
- 1)Additional professor for technical solutions e.g. calculating the energy produced by solar panels, wind turbines e.t.c. 2)Lecture(s) for public means of transport management. 3)Lecture(s) for waste treatment in cities.»
- THANK YOU!»
- The course is demanding but in a very friendly environment. When we made the last presentation at Mariestad it was wonderful to see how we had all grown. I felt that the first part of the course was hard but in the end I really felt it was worth going through it!»
- This course for me was run by lovely staff and they did a great job at organizing and facilitating the course. There was just no teaching involved and I feel like I learnt nothing but presentation techniques in the 12 weeks we had there. »
- BEST TEACHERS, ORDER/ADMINISTRATION AND "studio-feeling"!!!»
