Inhoud

In this course, you will look at the design process. Two important perspectives are: who are we designing with (e.g. working with stakeholders, or working together efficiently as a group), and who are we designing for (e.g. for people from different cultures, or for people with certain disabilities).
 
To develop these perspectives,  you will learn different research methods, which will give insight in your user. You will use this insight to formulate requirements for a product you are developing.
 
The course consists of a general part, which will be the same for al majors, and a major specific part. For you as a GD student, this specific part is Intercultural Competence and Ethics.
 
This course is assessed through a group report and a presentation.
