| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning within this module is organised around a student-centred approach. This allows a degree of personalisation in choosing the specific content to be explored as you develop the skills to demonstrate achievement of the intended learning outcomes (LOs1-5). Tutor led lectures and workshops will provide structured presentation of key theoretical concepts, texts and case-studies (LOs1,2). You will meet in peer-led seminar groups to discuss, debate and analyse these ideas and examples (LOs2,3,4). In your groups you will present your analyses to each other, discuss them, and receive formative feedback from peers and tutors (LOs3,4).You will work individually and in groups to develop design projects which test and explore the theoretical ideas presented for consideration in class and through reading list material (LOs4,5). Progress on project work will be presented in class to receive formative feedback and assessment on learning. Project work will form the basis of a portfolio submitted for summative assessment (LOs1-5). The student-centred portfolio submission format allows for personalisation in learning throughout the module, as you will be encouraged to develop your own areas of interest to explore and critically reflect upon. Portfolios will be assessed based on their overall demonstration of achievement of module learning outcomes, rather than solely on specific attributes of individual tasks.
|
Formative feedback is provided throughout the module in class from peers and tutors during regular group discussions and presentations. Formative assessment will take place at midway points during scheduled learning activities. This will help to direct your learning prior to submission of work for summative assessment. This will take place formally in week 9 in relation to group work. And in weeks 11 and 12 in relation to individual preparation of the summative portfolio submission.
|
Summative assessment will take place through a single submission of a portfolio of work in week 13. This submission will constitute 100% of your summative module grade. The portfolio will present each of the tasks you have undertaken throughout the module. The student-centred portfolio format allows a degree of personalisation in learning throughout the module as you will be encouraged to select and develop your own areas of interest to explore and critically reflect upon. You will have had opportunities to receive formative assessment and feedback on each task undertaken as part of the module. This provides time to implement changes and improvements based on this feedback prior to submission of the final summative assessment. Tasks included within the portfolio may be presented in any appropriate format. The portfolio will be a substantial body of work including research, documentation and reflection on design process, results of design process, and critical reflection on all of this design activity, with reference to theoretical issues raised by the course. At least one component of the portfolio must be an academically written and referenced essay (2,000 words). Portfolios will be assessed based on their overall demonstration of achievement of module learning outcomes, rather than solely on specific attributes of individual tasks. While choice of specific content can be personalised, the portfolio as a whole must demonstrate a developing knowledge and understanding of key concepts in design studies through exploration of key relationships between design history, theory, criticism and practice. The portfolio must also demonstrate a clear ability to observe, critically explore and present opinions on design activity (both that of others, and your own) within social, political and economic contexts. In this way the portfolio submission will allow you to present a personalised account of your engagement and activity throughout the module in order to demonstrate that you have met the LOs 1-5.
