Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1.Courses
1 The instructor present the basic materials and utensils that students may use in the field of stage design, runs class activities to develop ability of using materials, redirect the students to solve issues that may arise.

2.Reviewing Sessions and Discussions
The projects that may realize with the materials will be given for each student in the class. Within the framework of the project for each material that produced by the students and within the time given for the selection of the main designs, the reviewing sessions about assignments-according to their presentation deadline-will be held each week in the first half-hour period of the course by the instructor.
It will be encouraged that the students submit their views on designs and to participate in class discussions.

3.Tutorials
The transition from design to production, students will work on the material and at this stage to develop the basic skills of the user, during practice the students will be informed about the probable solution of the problems may arise.
