The project-based presentation should include at least 5 projects illustrating each topic, that are gender-balanced, from various countries of origin. Projects can be taken in design, art, ethnography, science and other disciplines. What 'taxonomy' can you provide to categorize the 5+ projects? How these 5+ projects help get a sense of the field that you're presenting? How do they relate to the topic of the week and the readings of that week? - The presentation should be 5 minutes.
All presentation materials (slides, handouts incl. 2-pages written discussion) have to be uploaded to the server (smb://fileredu.ad.zhdk.ch/DDE/BDE_VIAD/01_ABGABEN/24_HS/Sem3_Aesthetics_of_Interaction) in the respective folders indicating the number of the class, the name of the class and your name.
Exams

1) A multiple choice test about the content of the texts discussed in class.
2) A free theory-grounded argumentation about an overarching topic connected to the topics.
