The first student driven class successful

Students as professors seems to be a usable concept. Or at least the first class prepared and implemented by a student team was informative, involving and entertaining. Can you expect more?

The first professors Jonathan, Robbert, Yonathan and Josef preparing the class

The first topic was titled "The designs of Media". The professors - Yonathan Wolowelsky, Josef Pacal, Jonathan De Jong and Robbert Schefman - opened the session with interviews made on the street.

The class featured one major group task for the students, to develop social media services for certain predefined target groups. You can see the complete programme and content on the page http://intro2012imp.blogspot.fi/p/designs-of-media.html

The team designing a social media service for Moustache Club Members
had many laughs

The team will publish a summary here, and the feedback team will also post their statement.

I must say that the feedback discussion showed good quality. The feedback team grounded their assessment well, and many other students participated in the feedback discussion. The merits of the class were recognised, but also useful hints how to improve were given.

One more positive feature I have to mention: The professors created a relaxed atmosphere and most teams had a lot of laughs while working. But then again the general discussion about the pros and cons of Social Media was quite serious. To really include the students in the learning process it is useful to involve different emotions. This class did.

A very good start this was.

Can't wait to experience the next class!
