Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1.Courses
Instructor asks for daily production reports of jacquard fabrics and the proper analyses of the physical weaving criteria such as thread, weaving, raw material, compactness.

2. Revising Sessions and Class Discussions
Every week in the first and last hours of the lecture, instructor organizes revising sessions about being studied jacquard weaving fabric samples at different quality levels, being transferred the designs appropriate for current trends to the computer program, proper usage of the program icons on the basis of the given time. Students are promoted significantly to participate in class discussions and state opinions about the designs.

3.Applications
During the process in which transition from design to production is involved, while students determine design facilities and technology required by implemented technique, they make a design by utilizing the knowledge gained in the Computer Aided Design and Production and other technical courses and they assist their applications with this knowledge. On this subject, model applications are shown to the students.
