The course content is designed in a way that allows the students to have their own experience. Therefore, its key success point in learning is participation, flexibility and openness to experience. There will be no collective evaluation at the end of the semester, and each student's own experience in the process will be taken as the evaluation criterion. Based on the name of the course, creative, original and various methods will be planned to be used. The main learning goal is to apply methods that will enable everyone to practice themselves. It will be planned to shape these methods collaboratively with the class, rather than the one-sided transfer of theoretical content. It is aimed to gain the practice of co-creation through teamwork, which will be used as an integrative method. |
