Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

Distance education decision is taken for 2020-2021 Spring semester and
the course will be given in two days in 8 + 4 hours instead of three half days as before. PLN 1112 Space and Design course content prepared in terms of these significant changes.
PLN 1112 Space and Design course will be executed as follows in 2020-2021 Spring Semester.
The methods are as follows:
1. Method for Research and Execution
*A technical fiction change has been made in terms of the way the lesson is taught, the tools and the results expected from the student and the presentation of the products.
* The curriculum includes a content that blends classical learning methods with digital possibilities.
* The method of conducting the lesson and the course schedule has been prepared according to its 4 hours theoretical and 8 hours practical content.

In the classroom practices, exercises or homework assignments that follow each other and constantly evolve are designed for the subjects given for the students.
Exercises / assignments, drawing assignments that allow students to develop hand-mind coordination, and project applications will be made that evolve from simple to complex as a methodological study that supports the development of the creative process.

The topics included in the Space and Design course will be covered in the term setup consisting of 3 main parts. These 3 main sections:
