Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Within Content of Course; 1- Research: Educator of the course conveys project information, necessary material and project process to students within scope of course and requests from students to make visual research within scope of given project.
2- Sketch/ Design Process and Technical Analysis
After the result of requested research sketches of students are transformed into designs within framework of design criteria, creativity and authenticity criteria. Appropriateness of designs with project, their reproducibility and ergonomics of manufactured products are considered and designs are developed. After approval of designs; their technical analysis with respect to manufacturing criteria is realized. Material which are determined for design and manufacturing techniques of students are discussed and suggestions are made, absents are completed. Production stages for each student s design/collection are listed.
3- Production Process, Jury Evaluation:Production starts in workshop after specification of production stage which can be different with respect to design.
