Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1.Courses
Instructor guide to students to design according to starting points related to fashion trends, target group and application fields, to produce solutions for the problems emerging during the design and production process and ask them to state their opinions via both visual and written presentations
2. Revising Sessions and Class Discussions
Every week in the first and last hours of the lecture, instructor organizes revising sessions about sketch creation at design stage on the basis of given time related to determination of main design. Intracurricular studies and assignments are curricial for the problems solved in this environment. Students are promoted significantly to participate in class discussions and state opinions about the designs.
3.Applications
During the process in which transition from design to production is involved, while students determine design facilities and technology required by implemented technique, they make a design by utilizing the knowledge gained in the various technical courses and they assist their applications with this knowledge. On this subject, model applications are shown to the students.
