Advanced Research is a flexible approach that allows students to bring in their own projects or collaborate locally and regionally to build connections that will drive professional success. This class will embolden students to examine and adopt the perspectives of fellow creative critical thinkers, inside and outside of their cohort. The goal is to challenge conventional thinking and seek new ways in which students can inform both physical and digital experiences. We will use generative, evaluative, and exploratory research methods to look at the entire product lifecycle from early ideation to what happens after products are launched. This is an independent level class The focus of this online Advanced Research class will be on Creativity in Crisis. This will give students an opportunity to take a deeper dive into researching 'a crisis' think about a designer's role, research current and past crises, discuss gaps, and explore possible solutions.
