Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is structured as interactive awareness studies with students, lecturing through visual material (presentations, documentaries), reinforcement of the knowledge acquired in the course by students' individual or group research on pre-determined keywords, and analysis-evaluation studies based on examples. With two or three dimensional design applications It is aimed that students will experience color design principles by applying them. Thus, the student will gain the ability to interpret the information he had acquired theoretically and observed through the examples by combining them in their own design. It is planned to exhibit the design works performed by the students at the end of the term. Small homework / practices / trip-observation studies can also be carried out within the scope of the practices that change every period. Active participation of students in the activities in the lesson is important.

Assessment Criteria

Studies to be evaluated (midterm or file submission, homework presentation, final exam or poster submission) aim to measure the ability of students, to interpret the information acquired in the theoretical part of the course and to apply color design principles. When the exam will be administered, questions can be in the form of an open-ended or multiple-choice test and may include small color design applications.
Assignments and presentations are evaluated according to the clear understanding of the subject, the competence in sample analysis and evaluation, and the quality of the presentation. The quality of student's responses to the questions asked by the instructor during the presentation will also be taken into consideration.
Design applications will be assessed based on criterias such as handling of the problem and its originality, design quality and presentation format.
The instructor may arrange student groups for presentations at the beginning of the semester. Group presentations require a collaborative effort. It is the group's responsibility to ensure that each group member contributes to the group work equally.
