Today lesson is about Aesthetics Assessment. It b ringing education assessment methods into a evaluation which is  Criterion referenced assessment , Norm - referenced  and Ipsative assessment.  First,  Criterion referenced assessment  is a principle or standard by which something may be judged or decided,t he assessment that examines whether or not one performed well or poorly on a given task.  Second, Norm- referenced assessment is a assessment that compares one to his, her or its peer.  Third, Ipsative assessment which ismm an ipsative assessment in an education/learning context compares a test-taker’s results against his or her previous results. Then, the next topic is " How to evaluate aesthetics ?". There is 4 way to evaluate. 1.

Relativism.  The doctrine that knowledge , truth , and morality exist is't in relation for culture , society , or hist

Hi, welcome to my blog again. Today the class start with wacthing a video which name 'mamula moon' by La.Rosalie. Well...it was a familiar melody for "Malaysian", go search yourself then you will know the reason...So, today our lesson is about "What is Aesthetic". - Aesthetics is one of the dimensions of design.  It was a set of principles concerned with the nature  nature and appreciation of beauty (Oxford Dictionary).  The branch of philosophy which deals with questions of beauty and artistic taste.   Alexander Baumgarten (1735) introduced the term  'aesthetics'. The Greek word originally means ' I perceive, feel, sense '.  The principles of arts are strongly related to daily living and culture, thus to understand the expression of critique, one must describe the way of life.  Therefore, it is necessary to study culture and life in order to understand the rules and meaning of terms and phrases used in arts and art critique.

I had overslept today, so I decided to join second class, haha ~ Well, today we had learn about Affect States. There is 3 levels of Affect States which is Reflective , Behavioral and Visceral.  First, Visceral Design makes rapid judgments of what is good or bad,safe or dangerous, and sends appropriate signals to the muscles (the motor system) and alerts the rest of the brain. ( Requires the skills of the visual and graphic artist and the industrial engineer. Is all about immediate emotional impact ). Second,  Behavior Design. The site of most human behavior. Its actions can be enhanced or inhibited by the reflective layer and, in turn, it can enhance or inhibit the visceral layer. ( Human-centered, focusing upon understanding and satisfying the needs of the actual users  ) Third, Reflective Design means  thought does not have direct access either to sensory input or to the control of behaviour.it watch over, reflect upon, and tries to bias the behavioural level. Beside that,

What is Design ? Our topic for today lesson is " What is Design ?". Dr.Tan told us that   t he   origin word  of design is " desegno ". So, can we said a key is a design ? The answer is , No ! It was not a design but a product. Dr.Tan explain to us that d esign is a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it's made. The meaning of design in Chinese is called " 设计 "(she ji).   设 is draw and  计 is plan, so it means a "drawing plan", a  decoration pattern.  Beside that , we had learn 4 dimension of design .  Designing often necessitates considering  : 1. Aesthetics -   Arts and philosophy  2. Functional   - Psychology and engineering 3. Economical  - Concerns about production cost 4. Social-Political   - Social sciences

As usual , I ate some breakfast before I enter the class. Today, Dr.Tan told us that, that is two way of learning design, which is Tabula Rasa (UK teaching method) and Pragmatist (America teaching method). Dr.Tan ask students to draw his portrait in 1 minute and distinguish it in level A,B and C. After that, Dr.Tan ask students redraw his portrait again but he gave 2 minute in the second time, and we followed his request. The first portrait had been returned back and Dr.Tan ask student to make a comparison between two portrait. Well, for sure the second portrait is better because we had more time to completed. Note : Two ways of learning design : 1. Tabula Rasa by John Locke (UK) - refers to the epistemological idea that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that therefore all knowledge comes from experience or perception 2. Pragmatists  (Americanism) - consider thought an instrument or tool for prediction, problem solving and action, such as the nature

        As usual, Dr.Tan share his experience to us today. He told us that Tony Buzan ( the Inventor of Mind Maps )  had visited UPSI on March 2011. Tony Buzan He is a guru in Mind mapping. He was invited by BSM to deliver a talk on creativity in teaching and learning. His fees was RM7500 per hours, and he limited the number of participants to maximum 200 per session. After that, Dr.Tan said he had give a talk about addiction in game playing at KDU University Collage. KDU paid him RM500. After that, we had start our lesson. We had learn three levels of emotional design, what is creativity, formula being creative, nine windows and how to measure creativity. We also discuss some marriage issue such as how much to spend when we get marriage, the rules of getting marriage in China and others. Before the end of the class, Dr.Tan ask us to do some research about the fees to spend to getting marriage in different state of Malaysia (13 state). Note: What is creativity ? Creati
