Improving products to a professional level requires collaboration, feedback, and revision. These seniors support one another by using a project tuning protocol. This protocol helps guide the students through a critique and revision cycle. One student’s project is at the center of the conversation. The students shares the mission of organization/internship they are working, provides the other students with the context for the project and their design choices, and then poses a question(s) they want other students to consider for feedback. Once the context has been given, other students ask clarifying questions and then have a discussion about the project. While the discussion is going on, the student with the project the group is focused on, listens and takes notes. When the discussion is over, the student then explains to the revisions they plan to implement. This type of collaborative project tuning can transform and level up the products that students design and create for their professional client.
