INTERACTION DESIGN: DESIGN METHODOLOGY SEMINAR

...

Grades will be based on the oral and written presentations, final essay, the reading notes, reflections on blog and on class participation. Contributing to constructive group feedback is an essential aspect of class participation. Regular attendance is required . Two or more unexcused absences will affect the final grade(80%). Absences have to be excused (medical notes, etc). Arriving late on more than one occasion will also affect the grade.

...

Participation in discussions 20% 

Journal/Blog 20%

Any assignment that remains unfulfilled receives a failing grade. 
 

ASSIGNMENTS 

• Oral presentations

...

• Journal/Blog
  A separate 'Journal' is developed by each student that reflects on learnings from the seminar. It should be in the form of an online blog (ie. WordPress, Notion, Medium or other):
  
  • Notes, sketches for each lesson should be included as well, with short reflections on the topics discussed 
  • The readings notes are shared on the blog
  • The journal should be structured in a generally comprehensible manner
    
    

...

For everyone, there are 2 mandatory readings every week and response notes are expected for each paper from each student and have to be uploaded on the blog by the prior Sunday evening. Additional readings are provided for reference and it's expected that you at least browse through the papers and read abstract and intro.
Students are expected to discuss and comment in class based on the readings they have done prior to the class (they can be randomly called to share their perspectives).
A reading guideline is provided to support the reading process: identify author(s), research location/institution, country, background, date, writing style, publication, context, sources, possible biases; identify words and concepts that are not familiar to you; identify questions that are emerging. See additional tips for reading academic papers by researcher Mike Ananny.
Texts vary in length every week, this is considered part of the learning process in this class to go through a reading and gather essential ideas in a limited time.
