Michaels housing bootcamp studio blew me away. He somehow will work you harder than you ever have, I think its because its so clear this is the good stuff to be learning and doing. He brings in panels of professionals almost weekly! If you get the chance to take this profesor do it( while you still can). This class re invigorated my passions.

Housing Bootcamp is a rigorous, no joke class. You have to stay on top of your work to keep with with these 9 day projects. However, the effort is totally worth it! Michael is an amazing professor, so if you are willing to dedicate the time and effort, you will come out with the best work you have ever done. Good luck to all who choose to take it!

Michael was a great professor. His knowledge in residential housing and architecture, in general, is vast. He is an enjoyable professor to be around. But, this studio is no joke!!!!!!! You can't slack off. It was the most intense studio I have ever taken, But also my favorite studio. You HAVE to be DEDICATED in order to take this studio.

Michael's housing bootcamp was by far my favorite studio. Don't let the workload scare you and don't listen to other people tell you you'll never have free time. I took it and still had time to socialize on the weekends (and I was a teacher assistant too). If you want the most out of your education then I highly recommend taking his studio.

Comment:
Michael is the best professor I've had at UO. However, do not take Housing Bootcamp unless you are seriously interested in housing. There is no down time and no room for slacking. It is extremely fast paced and will dominate your life. But, Michael is compassionate and knows his class is difficult. His feedback is great and straight to the point.

Comment:
HOUSING BOOTCAMP: Michael is a great studio professor. He gives meaningful feedback and doesn't force you to have something for every class. He also doesn't try to take over your ideas, he simply looks at what you have and makes good suggestions on how to make it better. He is very encouraging but expects a lot from you as this course is fast pace.

Comment:
In the Housing Bootcamp studio, you would produce a greater volume of work than you would in nearly any other studio. Michael Fifield conditions students to maintain a rigorous schedule. He values sound logic and effective presentation skills over any particular style. There exists a strong mutual respect between this professor and his students.

Michael was great, and his class really helped me take my skills up a level. His reviews helped me figure out how to properly present my project. Hands down this was my favorite classprofessor of college thus far. The subject was something that I became very passionate about and am pursuing professionally, and the class had a lot to do with it.

Michael was an excellent studio professor. While the "Housing Boot Camp" is intense in scope, Michael was very accommodating to questions by the students and the course is organized very well. Michael was always willing to help and lent excellent input to our work both in practicality and in meaning. He also tells really great stories.

Michael is easily one of my favorite professors. I took his housing studio (the "Housing Boot Camp") and it was my favorite studio of all time. He's super chill, and although he expects a lot, he will totally help you every step of the way. This class was very rewarding, and working with Michael was lots of fun.

Easy grader but expects a good amount of work and effort. Lectures are pretty useless and he builds much of the class around peer presentations, doesn't actually teach much. He also uses the same examples/information between his different classes year to year.
