PRD 370 - DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS College of Design
Credit(s): 3
Discusses procedures and methods in the collection, analysis and evaluation of data to inform the design process. The course involves exercises in developing a research question and usability research strategies for investigating problems in user/product and user/environment relationships. Most of the strategies employ ethnographic methods. The course examines the definitions of knowledge, information, and data and how they are used in research. The course comprises a sequence of research exercises that require written, oral and visual delivery and a major research paper documenting a semester- long design research investigation. This course provides credit for the full Graduate Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) — written, oral and visual — for the Bachelor of Science in Product Design and hence is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
Prereq: CIS/WRD 110, CIS/WRD 111, and permission of instructor.
