The result of Wednesday’s class as they set up their experiments on the Nanyang Polytechnic campus. Based on what the Wednesday class groups did, were these more of a behavioural experiment, or a reactive one? How could you have done it differently? In what ways can you use your AVPROD skills to improve the presentation of your experiment?

FAQ for Integrated Assignment 2

Is it a group presentation?

Yes. Each group should present their work together, and also be able to voice their own opinions and contributions to the finished work.

Does each member have to post his or her work on their own Tumblr blog?

Each member of the group is supposed to post their own thoughts and documentation (see step 7 in the brief). Each member should also post their finished group work on his or her own Tumblr blogs as well.

How many pieces of work should each group come up with?

As this is a group effort, there should be one completed piece to present per team. Of course, if each member in the team feels the need to extend the project, you may do so.

Must it be a visual product?

Again, remember what was said in class, as well as in the brief. You can “use pictures, drawings, videos, T-shirts, songs, performance, theatre play, ID cards, comic strips, banners, hacked objects, sculpture, something cartizara that illustrates your idea.”

It’s time for your first term break reading!

For our very first reading, check out Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This story frames the themes that we will be addressing in DMS when school starts again after the break, so it is highly recommended that you read it and soak in this bleak future that Mr Huxley’s Brave New World presents.

Here’s a synopsis and description of the book from Wikipedia.

You can easily get a copy of this book in our NYP and your local libraries, loan a copy from one of those second-hand bookstores, buy a copy from any good local bookstores, or click on the image above to view an online version. Nothing beats reading a real book, but the online version is an option if you cannot find a copy of the book. These are your options.
