Description

I will use the Flash Talk to present the feedback method that I use in my Studio 6 sessions. It works as follows: In our Studio 6 course in Architectural Technology, students are invited to participate in a Design Carousel in Week 6 of the semester. Each student has to prepare a poster delivering their concept and design. They also prepare an elevator pitch. There are usually around 45-50 students in the room at once. I invite 12-17 guests who are professionals from the design/construction/sustainability field. Students pitch to a guest, while two other students watch. Guests then have about 5 minutes to provide feedback. A bell rings, and the guest moves to the next student. All in all, students get feedback from 8-10 professionals and have to work on their presentation skills. The fact that this is iterative and done in quick 5-8 minute bursts keeps the students engaged and honing their delivery and content.

Comments
