Upper Division Classes

[note: I took the liberty of numbering the courses. This makes it easier to represent paths (see below). I also renamed the courses to "Upper Division" rather than "Year Three" - Ron]

Media:

  • 1. narrative
  • 2. video
  • 3. advanced video
  • 4. animation
  • 5. game design
  • 6. interface design

Advanced interface design beginning with the advent of visual communications and moving type to interfaces for desktop, mobile, and large-scale applications.

  • 7. interaction design(2) methods

Examines concepts of design practice and design methods for interaction designers. Students will study a range of design methods for idea generation, requirements gathering, conceptualization, prototyping, and evaluation in a project setting.

  • 8. interactive prototypes

Develops programming, scripting, physical computing, and form-making skills for developing combined software, and hardware prototype versions of interactive products and systems.

  • 9. design evaluation

Examines evaluation concepts and methods for interaction designers. Analyzes the range of evaluation approaches including informal evaluation, usability, field studies, heuristics, critique and discursive evaluation.

  • 10. participatory design

Students learn participatory design as a method for analysis and gathering requirements for design situations that provides an in-depth contextual understanding of the design and enables end-users as designers. Examines the conceptual frameworks for understanding human action and context in organizational design situations. This course assigns small teams to design with industry, non-profit, and government organizations.
