Today was my first design crit as a lecturer. We gave each student 10 minutes to present their design for a church courtyard and garden. This is the interim stage so, the students are presenting their spatial diagrams, inspirational images, materials and plant choices. I tried to give as much positive feedback where I can but I let my colleagues do most of the talking as I observe how they do a crit. There were a few students who did badly and I realise I need to focus on these students and try and help them improve their work for the Design Studio class.
