This lecture course will explore the history and theory of design from the mid-nineteenth century to the late twentieth century within the broader context of this time period’s rapid technological change, social and political upheaval, and expanding cultural exchange. This course builds upon the art historical overview introduced in the freshman year in Art History Survey I and II. Weaving together diverse histories of ideas, movements, and events within a loose chronological framework, students will investigate the specific issues of design as they connect to society at large while also evaluating the evolving role of design and designer, and design’s relationship to other disciplines. Through discussion and written assignments, students will engage with the history and theory of design in order to inform the development of their individual design practices and critical thinking skills. Students will be exposed to a wide array of design philosophies, artifacts, and outcomes through an eclectic collection of materials that include texts by designers, historians and theoreticians, philosophers, sociologists, and cultural critics.

Emphasis is placed on the expanding and evolving role of design in contemporary society and culture vis-Ă -vis pressing conditions such as environmental sustainability, globalization, DIY culture, technological advancement, network culture, and so on. By looking at a range of emerging models of design practice and the forces that influence these shifts, students will develop a greater understanding of the social and cultural implications of design while considering how design interfaces with an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Discourse by a range of contemporary designers, theorists, and critics will comprise the primary source material.

DRAW 113 Drawing: Observation College of Art, Media & Design CAMD Cross-College
3 credits 90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course
Observation respects the historical practice of maturing the human gaze.

The class couples an intensive effort at serious scholarship based in principles of visual perception with an awareness of the value of using drawing as a tool for thought. Basic drawing materials are used and exercises in manual skills are practiced. Analytical thinking permeates the course and integrates the quest for insights about the graphic and spatial qualities of a variety of subjects. Indispensable methods of recording information based on principles of location, size, proximity, orientation and proportion are explained and utilized in the execution of drawings of various scales and media.

EDPD 601 Assessment Design + Evaluation Division of Continuing Studies Professional Institute for Educators
3 credits 42.0 hours 600 level graduate course
This course focuses on developing participants’ understanding of the end goals of the educational experience students receive in the classroom; capability to enhance instruction and learning through appropriate student assessments; and ability to provide useful feedback on educational programming. Utilizing the concept of authentic assessment (or “cornerstone” assessments as per Wiggins and McTighe in Schooling by Design, 2007), participants transform the process of teaching and learning into measureable outcomes achievable by all students. Particular attention is paid to: (1) the varied types of assessment necessary for an educational program including formative, summative, diagnostic, and benchmark, (2) the current environment of educational assessment, (3) assessment for project-based learning, (4) assessment instruments and their design, (5) the utilization of assessment data to improve student learning, and (6) the inter-relatedness of curriculum, instruction and assessment in the teaching and learning process. Educators develop an understanding of the different types of assessment and how they fit into a comprehensive system of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Participants are able to construct a variety of assessments and assessment items to align with classroom instructional objectives. The effective use of data to make informed decisions about curriculum, instruction, and future assessment is discussed.(Open to Educational Program Design majors only)
