Assessment Criteria

Learning outcomes to be evaluated via midterm exam: Define the domain of our profession in terms of design as a concept (knowledge), differentiate different ways of how thought is transferred into various media via abstraction techniques (analysis)

Learning outcomes to be evaluated via assignments: Engaged in design activities by ways of expression and presentation used in urban design studies (synthesis), use and apply different manual or digital techniques in design presentations (application)

Learning outcomes to be evaluated viafinal exam: Define the domain of our profession in terms of design as a concept (knowledge), differentiate different ways of how thought is transferred into various media via abstraction techniques (analysis) analyze the background of symbolic expressions and have knowledge in terms of their design techniques. (analysis)
