ECAS View Course Proposal

https://onestop2.umn.edu/ecas/viewCourseProposal.jsp?EcasId=57393&seq=1[9/25/2015 11:20:00 AM]

Propose this courseas Writing Intensivecurriculum:

Yes

Question 1 (see CWB Requirement 1): How do writing assignments and writing instruction further the learning objectives of this course and how is writingintegrated into the course? Note that the syllabus must reflect the critical role that writing plays in the course.

This course is a senior capstone in Product Design and is inherently interdisciplinary in order toaccommodate requirements from business, technology, human factors, and other fields. Students are expected to demonstrate competency in communicating design processes, user-centric perspectives, and to consider the target audience in these communications. Writingassignments are one way to assess this course objective.

Writing components are integrated into a majority of assignments. Typical assignments includeeither a research component (e.g. studying target users) or a physical prototyping componentand combine this with a written report or summary in a format relevant to the target audiencein a hypothetical professional setting.

Question 2 (see CWB Requirement 2): What types of writing (e.g., research papers, problem sets, presentations, technical documents, lab reports, essays,journaling etc.) will be assigned? Explain how these assignments meet the requirement that writing be a significant part ofthe course work, including details about multi-authored assignments, if any. Include the required length for each writingassignment and demonstrate how the minimum word count (or its equivalent) for finished writing will be met.

The course includes a variety of types of writing. Assignment 1 is an individual essay outliningthe student’s interests and goals beyond the course and how the course project could best alignwith interests and contribute to achieving goals. Assignments 2, 3, 4, and 7 include a writtensummary or report to document previous research or prototyping and to communicate designdecisions and constraints. These written assignments are either in a memo format directedtowards company managers or in the format of a research report. Assignment 6 is a review ofeffective log book use for documenting research notes.

The assignments meet the requirement of writing being a significant part of the course work byrepresenting a significant portion of assignment deliverables and by consistently placing anemphasis on effective interdisciplinary written communication from a design perspective. Several assignments will be group authored. The groups will be encouraged to include portionsrepresenting individual contributions as written by the individual. Groups will also beencouraged to edit final documents as a group to maintain consistency and to confirm any editshave not altered the intended meaning.

Question 3 (see CWB Requirement 3): How will students' final course grade depend on their writing performance? What percentage of the course grade willdepend on the quality and level of the student's writing compared to the percentage of the grade that depends on thecourse content? Note that this information must also be on the syllabus.

A summary of the percent contribution of each assignment is shown below. This list includes allassignments with a written component.

10% - Assignment 1: Designer Self-assessment (2-4 page)10% - Assignment 2: Team Topic Exploration (1 page)10% - Assignment 3: User Research (1-2 page)10% - Assignment 4: User Need Summary (3-4 pages)15% - Assignment 6: Lo-Fi Prototype (Sketch Models)25% - Assignment 7: Prototype 2 and Report (3-5 pages)

Out of this 80% total, approximately half will depend on research or prototyping deliverablesand the remaining half will depend on thoroughness of research documentation and effectivecommunication in the written deliverable.

Question 4 (see CWB Requirement 4): Indicate which assignment(s) students will be required to revise and resubmit after feedback from the instructor. Indicatewho will be providing the feedback. Include an example of the assignment instructions you are likely to use for thisassignment or assignments.

The final course deliverable (Assignment 7) is a product prototype and a report summarizing allkey phases of development. Assignments 3 and 4 are sections of this final report and representindividual portions of the overall design process. These two assignments will be reviewed withan emphasis on specific feedback to improve these sections when they are incorporated into thefinal report. This feedback will include critiques to improve the clarity of writing and to directcontent to what is most relevant for the target audience.

Question 5 (see CWB Requirement 5): What types of writing instruction will be experienced by students? How much class time will be devoted to explicit writinginstruction and at what points in the semester? What types of writing support and resources will be provided to students?

Course instruction will include class time devoted to considering the target audience and thewriting type when composing the written assignment. This will include discussions on the typesof information to emphasize when communicating design information to different fields. Instruction will include methods to effectively co-author and edit group reports as well asinclude examples of effective report writing, such as the ability to replicate the research usinga description of methods. Common problems observed during early assignments will bediscussed before subsequent assignments. Writing instruction will comprise approximately 20minutes out of lectures preceding the start of written assignments.

Prior to the first offering of the course (Fall 2017), the instructor will schedule a consult withthe Center for Writing to review individual written assignments and to discuss maintainingWriting Intensive course requirements. The discussions in this consult will be documented andincluded in the course materials as a reference for additional or new instructors or TAs.

Students will be directed to the Student Writing Support resources if additional instruction isdesired.

Question 6 (see CWB Requirement 6): If teaching assistants will participate in writing assessment and writing instruction, explain how will they be trained (e.g. inhow to review, grade and respond to student writing) and how will they be supervised. If the course is taught in multiplesections with multiple faculty (e.g. a capstone directed studies course), explain how every faculty mentor will ensure thattheir students will receive a writing intensive experience.

TAs will be trained by the primary instructors to provide effective feedback. TAs will haveaccess to course materials including Center for Writing consultation notes. After initial courseofferings, TAs will have access to examples of previous student work and instructor feedback. Instructors will meet with TAs regularly to discuss and review feedback on writtendeliverables.

Yes, this course is core curriculum.

Strategic Objectives - Consultation with OtherUnits:

In order to prevent course overlap and to inform other departments of new curriculum, circulate proposal to chairs inrelevant units and follow-up with direct consultation. Please summarize response from units consulted and includecorrespondence. By consultation with other units, the information about a new course is more widely disseminated and canhave a positive impact on enrollments. The consultation can be as simple as an email to the department chair informingthem of the course and asking for any feedback from the faculty.

Other majors have capstone courses; this course is specific to Product Design.

Computer Lab / IT Resource Questions Describe what computer lab or IT resources you would anticipate needing for your class:

Plotting / Laser Printing Will the proposed course require large-format plotting? If so, during which weeks?

☐ 1 | ☐ 2 | ☐ 3 | ☐ 4 | ☐ 5 | ☐ 6 | ☐ 7 | ☐ 8 | ☐ 9 | ☐ 10 | ☐ 11 | ☐ 12 | ☐ 13 | ☐ 14 | ☐ 15 Estimate of how much per person/group? (rough estimate is OK - i.e., "a little" or "a lot") Will students need to print an unusually large amount of laser printing? When? How many students will be in this course? Software Is there any specialized software required for this course? (Either existing software titles or new titles). When is it needed? How many licenses are needed? (i.e., how many students will need to access it?) Will it be needed indefinitely or for a specific amount of time? List all department designators and course numbers for which this is needed. Does the change mean that a specific software title is no longer needed? (which one?) Other Are there any other needs for this course? Hardware? (projectors, large-format or small-format (flatbed) scanners?)

No

No, this will not be needed; however printing amount is variable for individual projects.
