Course content
During the minor Skilled you choose one skill or a set of skills you have acquired in the first 2 years of your CMGT study on which you want to focus on and develop further. The result of the minor will be a product, or better said masterpiece which shows off the high level of skill(s) you have acquired or further extended. The minor offers an independent yet structured approach for achieving this and offers guidance in the form of coaches who will monitor the planning, quality, and execution of the desired set of skills and products. You will meet your coach once per week to report progress and discuss the planning. However, the minor requires of you a high level of self-discipline! You are self-directed and work in coaching groups. The result is a showcase product and a detailed description, in the form of a report of the workflow and research.
This is an English-language minor.
During the minor you will pass through the following stages:
Stage 1: analysis (knowledge-gathering)
Stage 2: design & work flow (defining and designing the product and work flow)
Stage 3: production (creating the product and implementing the work flow)
Stage 4: quality & accountability (validation and exposure)
You are grouped with other students in accordance with your chosen topic (since there are many various topics this cannot be guaranteed). The course timetable includes both, guided and unguided lab-hours during which you work and learn together in coaching groups. Each stage is concluded with an evaluation in form of a presentation.
Activities
The activities you perform are largely self-directed. You plan your activities and pursue targets individually, assisted by your coach and peers. It is a full time minor and you are required to log hours and present your progress regularly.
An evaluation session is held about every four weeks, during which you are required to present your achievements, logbook and the planning for the next stage. This session is led by your coach. Your final grade is based on the assessment of your final product, a report and a presentation.
This English-language minor is exclusively for CMGT students who have completed all 'Personal portfolio' modules of the second year.
"In my experience minor skilled is very useful and helpful to enhance or get more professional skills. You can emphasis on individual or multiple tasks and can jump deeper by searching and practicing. Good thing about it that you get full freedom of working in different platforms by your choice according to the demand of the creative industry. Moreover, you feel confident and learn how to plan your complete project independently."
