Bok Seminar - Designing Alternative Assignments

Date: 

Monday, June 6, 2022, 10:00am to 12:00pm

Location: 

50 Church St. 3rd Floor Learning Lab Studio

Led by Marlon Kuzmick, Christine D'Auria, and Jordan Koffman

In the average course, students will spend a large chunk of their time listening, a large chunk of their time reading, and some of their time making things. This seminar is devoted to the making chunk, and, within this chunk, to modes of making that are either newly emergent or overlooked.

Over the course of five sessions in the Bok Center’s Learning Lab, we will experiment with a number of different media and tools, from podcasting to performance to 3D-modeling to photography. No previous experience of any sort is required, as we are not aiming to become experts. Instead, our procedure will involve 1) experimenting with the new medium or tool, 2) reflecting on how a student might use it to develop skills and express ideas, and, 3) designing and testing assignments and activities related to our disciplines (we will be getting feedback from the Learning Lab Undergraduate Fellows, who test the various materials we produce in the Learning Lab).

This is the first session of a 5-session seminar. Registration required.
