Chizmar observes that student responses became more thoughtful and useful as it becomes clear that he really does intend to use student feedback to manage and guide the course. Fine Arts Williams prefers a constructionist strategy of teaching with a strong emphasis on learning projects . A key strategy for the use of class time is viewing and critiquing work in progress. The guidelines for statistical study with emphasis on motivation, real-world problems and projects, and the downplay of formal training, apply here in the arts as well. Williams uses the teaching workstation and its connection to the network to quickly access student work from the department server where class and private student folders permit electronic storing of assignments and work in progress.
Students have an on-line folder for their work that only they and the instructor have access to.
Having electronic access to all student projects makes it easy to quickly show and compare portions of students' work and to isolate examples of problem areas in software and instructional development that need class attention.
