Hi all as discussed in the week 8 tutorials last week.

This week use your SKO 20 minutes of shut-up-and-write time to reflect on the Wednesday presentations and the feedback from the panels. You may like to also include the group discussion with Gemma on Friday about the proposal summary for the upcoming prototypes.

Again (if needed), use the 4 R reading again to guide this reflection:

Reported: Identify an issue.
Relating: Connect the issue to your professional skills and experience.
Reasoning: Focus on factors underlying the issue you have identified. Make connections with theory and consider what a person in this professional area would do to work with these issues.
Reconstructing: Think about how you would do things differently next time.

Please look at the following reference on reflection and use it to inform your week 5 SUW writing that needs to be completed in your SKO diary in your personal assessment folder.

(Aim for 10-20 mins uninterrupted writing – remember this forms part of your SKO assessment and we will be catching up on these next week in the studio)

Try writing a reflection that works from the 4 headings Reporting, Relating, Reasoning, Reconstructing.

For you weekly SUW (shut-up-and-write) reflection this week take just (10 minutes) out to SUW and write a week 4 reflection in your Brief 1/SKO diaries in your personal assessment folders that were shared to you.

Please make sure you complete these reflections each week in the same google-doc as this forms part of your assessment.

For this week it would be great if everybody could write about the experience of the Transition Design workshop “futuring exercise” – casting your problem out 10 years from now to see what the issues you are exploring might look like.

I certainly found this a challenging but beneficial thing to do in regards to seeing beyond the immediate need to find a solutions or ways to improve the issues at hand.
