Active Learning

Design Studio III promotes an approach to teacher-student intellectual interaction and knowledge exchange, wherein knowledge transaction is not viewed as occurring through a simple, one-way, linear process from an active source (the teacher) to a passive recipient (the student). Rather, it is viewed as a complex, two-way, dialectic process aimed at dealing with, appropriating, and managing a large body of knowledge that exists in the public realm.

Today, the nature of expertise and ownership of knowledge have changed dramatically with the innovations of the World-Wide-Web and advanced information technology. The conventional mode of design studio teaching, which is based on the old master-disciple model of professional training, has become outdated and imposing many leaning limitations.

In Design Studio III, students are viewed as active learners, and as such are encouraged to be actively engaged the generation, dissemination, and appropriation of design-enabling knowledge. They are expected to participate in discussing and negotiating the appropriateness and relevance of the theoretical strategy proposed, in promoting alternative theoretical strategies for dealing with the complex design issues of the proposed project, in debating their ideas confidently in the lectures and studios, and in negotiating an appropriate approach for the articulation of their design ideas.

This is a 6 unit course. Students in this course are expected to attend 6 hours of lecture/tutorial/seminar each week and allow for 18 hours of self-directed learning each week. That is a total of 24 hours a week for 12 weeks. The tutorials and other activities, including reviews of work in progress are an important component of learning in this course. The communication skills developed by regularly and actively participating in activities and discussions are considered extremely important by the School and are highly regarded by employers and professional bodies.

The 最新糖心Vlog expects full-time students (ie. those taking 12 units per semester) to devote at least 48 hours per week to their studies. Accordingly, students undertaking this 6 unit course are expected to devote 24 hours per week to contact activities and self-guided studies.

Based on this framework here are some figures that might assist workload management:
Total workload hours: 24 Hrs per week x 13 weeks = 312 Hrs
Total contact hours: 6 Hrs per week x 12 weeks = 72 Hrs
Total self-guided study: 312 Hrs – 72 Hrs = 240 Hrs

These 240 hours should be used towards preparation of weekly tasks and for completion of the various assignments associated with the course, including development of various skills required to complete the same. Please organise your time wisely.
