Course history
  • Introduction

    Design Office is collaborative project across all three years of the BA programme. For Year 3 this entails leadership, forging teams of 2-4 participants in order to manage around 6-10 first and second year students. Each group is assigned a brief from a real world client. The management teams are responsible for ensuring that all team efforts are optimised, and that assignments are carried out and presented according to the expectations and terms that are agreed with their respective clients.

  • Required preliminary courses

    Knowledge equivalent to having passed the first, second and third semesters, or equivalent.

  • Learning outcomes

    Læringsutbyttene må sees i lys av de tre fordypningene barn, eldre personer og personer med muskel/skjelettsykdommer, skader og plager.

    Etter fullført emne har studenten følgende læringsutbytte definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:

    Kunnskap

    Studenten har

    • inngående kunnskap om utvikling, bevegelse, funksjon, deltakelse og helserelatert livskvalitet innen fagfeltet fysioterapi
    • inngående kunnskap om teorier om motorisk kontroll og læring hos mennesker med typisk og atypisk utvikling

    Ferdigheter

    Studenten kan

    • anvende relevante teorier i analyse av bevegelse og funksjon hos mennesker med typisk og atypisk utvikling
    • anvende og kritisk reflektere over bruk av standardiserte kartleggingsverktøy i klinisk praksis
    • analysere og drøfte resultater fra kartlegginger og undersøkelse av barn, eldre personer og personer med MUSSP
    • integrere forskningsbasert kunnskap, klinisk erfaring, kontekstuelle faktorer og personens erfaring og preferanse

    Generell kompetanse

    Studenten kan

    • kritisk reflektere over kunnskapsgrunnlaget og praksis i fysioterapi
    • formidle oppdatert fagkunnskap til samarbeidspartnere og befolkningen
    • identifisere og håndtere etiske problemstillinger knyttet til fysioterapi
  • Teaching and learning methods

    Students will be taught different methods of project management and challenges that typically arise in project work. The work shall culminate in a project report describing the processual stages and solutions of their client project. Level 3 students act as project managers in each group.

    For exchange students joining the course without prior experience of the dynamics of this collaborative project, it may be desirable that these act as external consultants. How might international perspectives and insights from other cultures be applied to successfully meet design challenges?

  • Course requirements

    The following coursework is carried out by the group leaders, is compulsory and must be approved before students can take the exam:

    • A written assignment relating to the group's report outlining client and project demands.
    • A written reflection note on project implementation, to be submitted before the oral exam.
  • Assessment

    Oral presentation in groups where all group members contribute.

    The presentation should demonstrate that students are familiar with project management and are aware of the challenges typically present in project work.

    The result of the exam cannot be appealed.
