• 3-minute 6210 reports

Advice on Giving Desk Crits

• Some guiding questions:– What are the strengths of the product?– What are the weaknesses or areas that

could be improved?– What suggestions can you offer to address

the weaknesses and/or make the product even better than before?

Critique Time• You must give at least 4 desk crits during the

semester– Refer to p. 36 of the handbook for guidelines

• Warm fuzzies don’t count; learn how to be critical without being negative (a very important skill in the real world!)

– Keep a copy of the desk crits you give; you will need to document these at the end of the semester to receive credit

• There is no number of desk crits you must receive, but it is to your advantage to solicit as many as you can as your project unfolds

Reminding ourselves of the opportunities!
