PROGRESS CRITS

WEDNESDAY 18th MARCH

 This will be a full day of Crit and reviewing progress of your Design Context, Design Practice and Project Blog.

You will all be involved in the whole day. There will however be regular breaks throughout (you may wish to provide refreshments.)

The day will be divided into 3 sessions

10.00 - 12.00   BRIEFING & DESIGN CONTEXT GROUP DISCUSSIONS

                           You will need to bring all research produced to date in response to the design context part of the FMP, updated Design context forms and any initial ideas relating to the development of final presentation methods.

Work should be pinned up and presented by 1pm. You should include all work produced to date in response to the FMP including resolved work and work in progress.

As with previous crits you will need to provide your own feedback sheets that will focus the feedback that you receive. The crit will take the form of the pre xmas crits during which you assess the progress of four other peoples work in pairs and thane feedback.

3.30 - 4.00 Summary Session and Action Planning

This will be a long day but will be essential to the effective development of your work. You will need to be fully prepared for this session as the next full crit will not be until after Easter.

There will be no FMP meeting at 9.30 (for obvious reasons).
