CAD 191 - Adv. CAD: Rendering and Animation - Stage 2 - Lillian Crist
Assessment
| Assessment Methods |
|
|---|---|
| Assessment Description | It is easy to assess this course because about 1/3 of the time is spent on an original project, without step-by-step instructions. Makes it very clear whether the student has grasped the material and is able to apply it analytically. My lectures were ongoing but after the first 8 weeks, my lectures were meant to guide them through particular phases of a project. |
| Learning Outcomes | ALL |
| Number of Sections | 1 |
| Number of Instructors | 1 |
| Number of Students | ~20 |
Data Analysis
| Data Shared With | Students |
|---|---|
| Data Sharing Methods | Face-to-face meetings |
| Data Summary | Students from a previous semester suggested minor improvements which I incorporated into my materials. Most of my assessment was based on a survey where students expressed their opinions about the SLOs. There were no particularly weak SLOs, in their opinion. |
| Analysis Summary | Students achieved most outcomes (not the team-building outcome) if they could demonstrate proficiency in their original project. And 98% of them did demonstrate proficiency. |
| Next Steps Planned | I planned to improve my handouts on materials and lighting, and I did improve them by creating summary sheets that highlight the main points covered in more detailed handouts. |
| Learning Outcomes | All except the team SLO and the presentation SLO: Demonstrate fundamental skills using 3D software for modeling, rendering, and animation. Strategize for most effective techniques. Strategize for most effective use of software. Distinguish strengths of 3ds Max Design software vs. other 3d modeling softwares. Design and create an original project, a portfolio piece, in the form of a 20-second animation walkthrough and a few still renderings. |
Changes
| Details | I created two new handouts titled "Basic Materials" and "Basic Lighting" - both were only 2 pages (double-sided sheets) which highlighted the main points for two very broad topics, sort of an answer to FAQ I had encountered in previous semesters. |
|---|---|
| Learning Outcomes | All except the team SLO and the presentation SLO as indicated in previous answer (6f). |
Tentative Future Plans
| Term | whenever it is offered again - uncertain schedule |
|---|---|
| Activities |
|
| More Details | I plan to use assessment surveys, exam questions, and direct observation as always, but I plan to add student focus groups as a method of assessment, and I plan to create at least one more summary handout of FAQ. |
