Part One
Observee to complete in brief and send to observer prior to the observation or review:

What is the context of this session/artefact within the curriculum?

It is outside of the curriculum as an extra session students have the option to book onto to enhance their studies. 

How long have you been working with this group and in what capacity?

They are new students I have never taught before. Some may have come to drop in sessions previously but that is the maximum exposure they would have had. 

What are the intended or expected learning outcomes?

PART ONE Live Session – ‘Understand that there are different types of 3D printing and how each of them work’ 

PART TWO Live Session – ‘Understand pros and cons of each technology and where each individual type is utilised best in industry’ 

PART THREE Live Session – ‘Be comfortable will how to run the FDM printers independently here at LCF’ 

What are the anticipated outputs (anything students will make/do)?

N/A

Are there potential difficulties or specific areas of concern?

A lot of students find technology in general overwhelming and so come to the session with a defeatist attitude already. 

The technology can be very complex and sometimes students get lost through the explanation process.

How will students be informed of the observation/review?

Verbally at the beginning of the session

What would you particularly like feedback on?

How retainable the students find the information – would they be able to use the equipment by themselves after this session? Do they feel confident?

How will feedback be exchanged?

Written and spoken

Waiting for Lindsay’s feedback
