Experience Design: teaching methods
Teaching and learning
Much of the teaching is based around creative projects, supervised by a member of staff, or industry expert. During these projects you learn creative and practical skills, as well as applying a more theoretical and academic analysis to your work. As the degree progresses the projects offer the flexibility to allow you to develop your interests and specialisms. Personal feedback during a project, and at your presentations at key points form the backbone of much of the teaching.
Seminars and occasional lectures will cover theoretical and more abstract material.
Assessment
You are assessed through a wide range of methods: design presentations (or crits), observation of your practical work, reports and essays, oral presentations. This range of assessment methods is designed to ensure that you can find the best way to demonstrate your learning – making sure the assessment is right for the type of work, and ensuring that whatever your strengths and weaknesses, everyone has equal opportunity.
