This session was constructed to help us recognise different kinds of feedback, so that we can more actively act on it and use it to progress with current briefs.
Informal feedback
- Crits
- Conversations
- Q & A
- Facebook posts / comments / likes
- Crit box
- Discussions with flatmates / family / tutors
- Surveys / tallies
- Anonymous feedback
How best to take advantage of feedback:
- Write notes
- Put it into practice and compare with initial designs
- Blog it
- Experimental sketches
- Ask the questions you want answered
- Ask WHY?
- Reflect upon it with initial intentions in mind
- Bear in mind where feedback has come from
- Identify trends in feedback
Formal feedback
- End of module assessments
- Tutorials
Task
Look back at Level 4 assessment feedback forms, focusing the ILO's and tutor comments. Identify strengths and things to improve from these. Discuss how you will use this to progress in Level 5.
OUGD406 Design Practice end of module evaluation
Strengths:
- Very good level of critical awareness when defining your own creative intentions.
- Very good level of selection and evaluation when identifying appropriate conceptual approaches to the development of ideas.
- Documentation of work evidenced through the blog is excellent and demonstrates a high level of project management.
Areas to improve:
- Informed evaluation of practical development of concepts could be more consistent.
- More detailed and varied approach to research would allow a range of responses to briefs.
- Evaluation and reflection of issues within collaborative project is limited.
How this feedback will help the development of Level 5:
- To continue documenting my work in as much detail through blog posts.
- To evaluate and reflect upon the development of briefs and issues faced within them more extensively and in more detail.
- Researching in more varied ways, potentially going to more exhibitions or galleries, or using architecture or nature of things other than design or designers as research sources, to create more varied and informed outcomes.
This study task has been really useful to look back on summative feedback from the past year, to see what I have done well previously, which I might not of realised I was doing well, to focus on maintaining this this year. It has also taught me that I need to evaluate and reflect more critically and analytically, and in much more detail as well, rather than just cruising over the surface. It has also been helpful to show me the importance of looking back at summative feedback, as a lot of it is relevant to current briefs as well, and can still be useful.
