Implementation and methods of teaching
The course is carried out as a face-to-face course, consisting of theoretical lectures, software lessons, presentations and discussions. In addition, students will work independently, both individually and in groups.
Timing and attendance
The course is scheduled for the first half of the spring semester. The course has a 60% attendance requirement. Absences from theory lectures (3) must be compensated with extra work. In addition, the absence of the last session can be compensated.
Learning material and recommended literature
Tieto Näkyväksi - Juuso Koponen, Jonatan Hildén ja Tapio Vapaasalo, 2016
Exam retakes
It is not possible to retake the course (there is no exam).
Learning environment
Mukkulankatu campus and the course's Moodle platform.
Student time use and work load
The 135 working hours of the 5-credit course are divided as follows: 20 hours of theory lectures, 30 hours of other face-to-face teaching, 85 hours of independent and group work ( nearly 3 weeks!).
Contents
The course introduces the history of information design, the grammar of information design, human perception, different types of information design, and the use of Adobe Illustrator and RAWGraphs software for information visualization.
Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.
A basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator (or equivalent) would be an advantage.
Assessment criteria
Assessment based on coursework, presentations, activity and attendance. In addition, self- and peer-assessment for group work.
