Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The methods to be applied in the execution of the PLN 1112 SPACE AND DESIGN Course are as follows:
1. Research and Executive Method
* The curriculum has a content that blends classical learning methods with digital opportunities.
* The way the course is conducted and the syllabus have been prepared taking into account the 4 hours of theoretical and 8 hours of practical content of the course.
* The course will be held face to face on the days and times specified in the curriculum, and theoretical transfers will be recorded simultaneously with Sakai.
* Accordingly, it is planned to create an environment of interaction in the form of mutual discussion, asking questions and developing ideas, by giving lecture presentations by the lecturers, making layout critiques, on Mondays and Thursdays determined for the Space and Design course in the program. In these parts of the course, the course and project topics included in the weekly program are visual presentations, videos, animations, etc. materials will be transferred.
* In classroom applications, exercises or assignments that follow each other and are constantly evolving are designed for the subjects given to the students. The exercises/assignments include drawing assignments that will allow students to improve their hand-mind coordination, and project applications and assignments that develop from simple to complex as a methodological study that supports the development of the creative process.
