About this Unit
In 2012 this unit replaced by 101876 - Reflective Design Practice. Donald Schön suggests that designers are ‘reflective practitioners’, an idea that has gained wide recognition in the profession. In this unit students learn concepts and skills of reflective practice that are relevant to their personal and professional lives. Through a series of design and writing exercises focussed on the development of their Major Project, students learn to notice their habits and prejudices, articulate areas of greater and lesser competency, and identify their individual styles of learning. Students use the insights they have gained to critically narrate their design process and to project future possibilities for their professional practice. This unit is a capstone unit and unit forms part of a series of capstone units.
