Types of Feedbackto express opinions

Judgemental Feedback

I don’t like it.

on design choices

Directive Feedback

A book will be a more appropriate medium for this project.

on design semantics

Interpretative Feedback

Comparative feedback makes the reason and logic of why bringing in examples apparent. It is more strategic than free association. Comparative feedback provides student an opportunity to see their project in relation to others’ design.

To better understand the intention and design decisions of a project, investigative feedback could be used to question certain aspects of project. Direct answers of the question are expected from the students.

Multistage of synthesis and refinement

Iteration and Agile



Christopher Frayling, Research in Art and Design, 1993

The Reflective Practitioner



Research through doing

Frayling, C. “Research in Art and Design”, Royal College of Art Research Papers, 1.1 (1993/4): pgs 1–5.

Ramsay, S., and Geoffrey R.. “Developing Things: Notes toward an Epistemology of Build-ing in the Digital Humanities.” In Debates in the Digital Humanities, edited by M.K. Gold and L.F. Klein, pgs. 75–84. Minneapolis, MN, USA: University of Minnesota Press, 2012.

“building as a distinct form of scholarly endeavor”

“where the thinking is … embodied in the artefact”



Tacit knowledge vs. Explicit knowledge

Externalization for production-based practice


5PM methodology at CDHCommunication Facilitation as a Social Process


4 Research through doing

PM for DH is an inherently social process.

• Majority of communication work is undocumented

• Relies on invisible “carework”• Awareness of this labor places value on

process of facilitation• This shared knowledge becomes an

outcome of a DH project
