INFORMAL URBAN PRACTICE
1. Articulate your aspirations for the studio and propose a means for self-assessment
Student name: ……KA MING, LEE (IRENE)…………………………… What do you aspire to learn through the studio? Clearly propose the most important 6 or more aspects of learning and achievement (in few words) that you aspire to measure your work against.
What is likely to indicate different levels of your performance and achievement against each criteria? Describe in detail the indicators (evidence) of quality at the level of performance that you aspire to achieve. In less detail, describe what will indicate if you have achieved above or below your aspired level.
CRITERIA
‘SATISFACTORY’ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Take a single experiment to develop your concepts

‘VERY GOOD’ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Take experiments to develop and analysis your concepts. Reflections form each experiment are contributed to the final concept development Discuses and working with other disciplinary students. Opinions are exchanged through cooperation 3D Model making for experiments with teamsters. Reflections from peers are embedding ed in the model.

‘OUTSTANDING’ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Take experiments to develop and analysis your concepts. Reflections form each experiment and peer discussion are contributed to the final concept development Discuses and working with other disciplinary students. Opinions are exchanged through cooperation. Your suggestions contributed to others projects 3D Model making for experiments with teamsters. Reflections from peers and users are embedding ed in the model. Defining design propositions for one scenario in class or peers. Invented them after research and set up practical device for experiments After discussion in class and research conceptualize and develop ideas through 2d, hands-on 3d, record them in media or literature Analysis and present your work in peers. Exchange peers’ suggestions and inspired by them. Your reflections also benefit to them. Identify and develop design opportunities through 1st hand informal urban practices experience and engage with concerns of social entrepreneurship

Practicing according to lecture schedule, research in books and internet, practice in RMIT and suburbs. Interpret our experience into new experiments. Keep in touch and have conversations once a week in and out of class via phone, MSN, blogs. Brainstorming and exanimate experiments together. Duties and projects are distributed evenly. Our intention and purpose are clear. Videos, reflection and introductions upload on blog which related to our purpose. It summarise our experience every time, improvement and plan for next week are established. Analysis and criticise suggestions form guests, lecture and peers. Meet submission presentation requirements with multi-media such as uploaded video, posters, and portfolio. Reflections, purpose and future plan are clearly presented to peers and tutors. Awareness the ideas with cases or examples. Research in depth about the theories behind the idea. Brainstorming and interpret base on the case studies. Explore and exanimate the boundaries. Establish and documented swap activities weekly. Refined the content and system by collecting peer comments and suggestions. Challenging the boundaries by swapping objects, services, information, emotions with different locations and methodologies.

2. Mid-semester self-assessment
Student name: ……… KA MING, LEE (IRENE)………………………… Import the above criteria
CRITERIA
1
researching urban practices via film, video, observational drawing, online search, reviewing books and journals
2
Working as individuals, in pairs with Interior Design students, and in larger groups.
3
developing work through drawing, photography, 3d modeling, making test-rigs and prototypes, facilitating events and doing performances
4
undertaking ‘prototype’ actions in the public urban environment that test and articulate ideas
What indicates the current levels of your performance and achievement in the studio against each criteria? Describe in detail the indicators (evidence) of quality at the level of performance you honestly believe you have achieved so far. In less detail, describe what would indicate if you had achieved above or below your proposed level. ‘SATISFACTORY’ ‘GOOD’ ‘VERY GOOD’ PERFORMANCE ‘OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE INDICATORS PERFORMANCE INDICATORS ’ INDICATORS PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Fair understanding in various Good understanding in Well understanding Well understanding in various informal urban practices in Asia and various informal urban informal urban practices in Asia and in various informal American. practices in Asia and urban practices in American.

Participating in peer reviews and a studio ‘gift economy’ culture. Contributing to collective discussion amongst the larger research group of different discipline students and staff both in face-toface sessions and via the online blog
were set up by whole group. My time commitment on recording videos is less than other group mates because of timetable clash. Video making with 1 softwares and 1 formates.
Joining conversation in class and groups.
Better understand in video making with different softwares and formates. A big improvement in digital video making and participation in blog submissions. imovie and windows movie maker were applied in video making. Non-verbal presentation was learnt through video and text submissions in online blog Express your view in class and groups. Motivated myself to participating in discussion in class. Comparatively, I express more peer reviews in small groups than in class, because I better understand my group’s goals
Better understand in video making with different softwares and formates. Try the variations every time.
Applied the best in video making with different softwares and formates. Try the variations every time.
Get inspirations in class and groups conversations.
Applied the inspirations that gained in class and groups conversations.
