Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

1.Courses
Courses are supported with related knowledge and visuals and conveyed to students. The lecturer guides students to choose one of Ottoman weaving fabric types and needs them to do comprehensive research to be finally presented as a Powerpoint.
2.Revision session are weekly held by the lecturer at the first hour of the course. Powerpoint presentations required to be prepared are reviewed and accordingly corrected when necessary until the day of the presentation that students are supposed to do. During every course, classroom discussions are made involving the subject matter of the lecture, with the result that issues to be necessarily detailed are determined. Students are motivated to participate in classroom discussions and present their own approaches to related discussion.

Further Notes About Assessment Methods

The lecturer transfers the subject by using lecture notes from various sources and visual presentation to his/her students.
The project topic is researched by using visual and written sources and appropriate materials are chosen for design source. At the end of the sketch process, the designs for products are formed and some of the chosen designs made into product in atelier. Without prejudice, students express their thoughts during the design process and new ideas are brought forward.
The lecturer empasises experimental practices for students to increase creativeness during design /output proceses and behaves in a way to find solutions to experienced problems
