Critique Assemblages in Response to Emergency Hybrid Studio Pedagogycolin gray

Paper available at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w67bzn6awdkfkds/2021_Wolfordetal_LxD_CritiqueAssemblages.pdf?dl=0
Abstract: Studio education focuses on active learning and assessment that is embedded in students’ explora- tion of ill-structured problems. Critique is a central component of this experience, providing a means of sensemaking, assessment, and socialization. These critique sessions encompass multiple types of interactions among students and instructors at multiple levels of formality. In most design programs, these practices have been situated in a physical studio environment—until they were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a group of educators and design students, we used this disruption as an opportunity to reimagine means of critique engagement. In this paper, we document the creation, piloting, and evaluation of new critique assemblages—each of which bring together a group of tech- nology tools, means and norms of engagement, and channels of participation. We report both on the extension of existing critique types such as desk crits, group crits, and formal presentation crits, describing both the instructional goals of the new critique assemblages and the students’ experience of these assemblages. Building on these outcomes, we reflect upon opportunities to engage with new hybrid critique approaches once residential instruction can resume and identify patterns of socialization and wellbeing that have emerged through these assemblages that foster critical reflection on studio practices.

19. Group 1 Scenario: Improve dissertation standards Why: To bridge gap between module-based assignments and independent research.
20. Group 2 Scenario: Improve feedback methods Why: Students fail to engage with written assessment feedback.
21. Group 3 Scenario: Effective use of an ePortfolio Why: Course up for revalidation – artefacts could be useful beyond the module.
22. Group 4 Scenario: ‘Reflect on Me’ Why: To allow students to develop skills and share these across modules.
23. Group 5 Scenario: Improve student engagement Why: Course up for revalidation – going to be using a blended approach (combination of block face-to-face teaching and online learning).
24. Group 6 Scenario: Student Assessment handbook Why: To help 1 st year students initially in their transition to higher education.
25. Group 7 Scenario: Enhance CAD feedback Why: Enhance A&F to measuring student ability to analyse and manipulate drawings and make constructive comments about example drawings.
27. Example A&F output Example assessment and feedback output from workshop with PhD students as part of an ‘Assessment for Learning’ session with their lecturer.

Editor's Notes
We could have one course level sheet and get staff to look a a&fobjective(s) at top level first. (Could bring some creativity cards tooin case they would be useful. They do not wish to consider Info skillsat this time.)
Redesign A ssessment for semester 1, year 1 There is too much of a gap between staff expectations of students abilities and student expectations of what studying at University is all about Alan or Karen could you write key points on flip chart?
.* We could maybe return to the course level and check if anything needsadjusted or actioned course wise.
