Help Board Beginning Production Video Guide Web Dev. Design reviews throughout the project give students the chance to learn from each other and learn to critique constructively. Design reviews are short structured events, in which a group discusses the work they have done so far, and their plans to complete the project. Their peers critique the plan and offer suggestions.
Students can learn a lot from each other.
The students then get back into their own groups and discuss what each learned, and how the project will proceed. The groups present their work to this point to the rest of the class. This format generally takes the most class time, but it helps the students practice for oral presentations to large groups. Three or four times during a project is not too often to have design reviews. Students get better at critiquing the more opportunities they have to learn that skill.
