Overview of Learning Activities
The course will consist of a combination of lectures and studio / tutorial sessions. Lecture topics will generally involve the imparting of theory, which is then put into a practical context through the studio / tutorial sessions. These sessions will generally involve the students producing simple drawings in both conventional and computer-aided format. It is expected that through these activities students will progress toward the objectives of the course.
Students will also need to:
• Exhibit strategic, logical, rational and resourceful thinking in their approach to problem solving activities
• Plan research and execute tasks effectively• Evaluate research material from a variety of sources and critically appraise and evaluate results,
• Apply theoretical learning to practical and discipline-orientated tasks,
• Demonstrate critical thinking, problem solving and decision-making,
• Develop their time management, organisation and planning skills,
• Develop information retrieval skills
