Blog 4: Final Reflection

The design thinking class was the most unique class I have ever attended in my life. It began on the first day when the professor made us sit in a circle and ever since that day, with each class I felt more connected to the subject and with my…

The time has passed so fast that it has reached the end of the course. The class intriguingly gave me the knowledge I expected and the inspiration beyond my expectations. Before taking this class, I didn’t have any design experience or knowledge. I have always been interested in product design, so I took…

Final Reflection

I want to start this reflection with a story that I experienced this semester during the course period. I did not intend to take Design Thinking in the first semester. I took up another course. The professor gave us the assignment to write an article based on the Economist Publication reading in…

Final Reflection

It is the most different course I have ever taken. I will discuss why in the following components, class content, activity, and group work.

First of all, I want to talk about the class content. At first, I thought design thinking is more like an ability. People who are…

Collaboration and Creativity

I took this class because I wanted to be a better designer. Working in digital product development, it is…

Final Thoughts

Design thinking in general always had this mysterious yet intriguing allure, so when presented with the opportunity to take this class, I jumped at it! I knew (or deeply hoped) that this class would expand how I think, view and eventually solve problems. The most appealing aspect was that there was no…

Reflection 4

Recalling everything I’ve done and learned in design thinking, I feel delighted to choose this course.
I’ve never started a project and worked through the entire procedure before: from scratches, ideation, reframing the problem, till finally coming up with a prototype. Although this project is only an…

Reflection #4: Final Reflection

This course was incredibly valuable in changing both my mindset and my actions in my current job role.

In terms of mindset, the readings from The Medici Effect by Frans Johannson, as well as “The Weird Rules of Creativity” by Robert L. Sutton…

Final: “We spend a lot time designing the bridge, but not enough time thinking about the people who are crossing it.” -Dr. Prabhjot Singh

The quote above puts the course into context for me. When we design products and services, we…

I am so lucky to have the chance to take this class. I took this course because one of my classmates told me that if you want to…

Final reflection

My thinking around my PhD dissertation and research plan has come a long way since I started this course. I initially took this course to learn about data collection approaches specific to the design world. I struggled with the first few weeks where content focused on innovation and creativity. In…

Reflection 4

The course has been amazing in terms of unlearning that I had to go through to learn the new way of problem solving where not always a transformative solution is needed to solve a problem an innovative or an out of the box solution would be enough. The guest speakers were amazing, their ideas and…

What is design thinking? If someone had asked me this question a few months ago, I would have blabbered and told them that it has to do with designing objects or related to arts…

Reflection 4: Course Reflection

At the start of this semester, I had no idea what design thinking was, or how I could apply it to any aspect of my life, as I do not work in a creative field, business, or the humanities. Creativity and biomedical sciences don’t necessarily go hand in hand, but I know now…

Last Reflection: Sad Goodbyes

During this class, I got the opportunity to truly begin understanding how design thinking can help beyond just the way we create new products but can be beneficial to simply practice as a team trying to solve any problem. One of the first things that I think will remember for…

Reflection 4 — Class Reflection

I always consider myself a creative person, but this is my first time understanding creativity as a formal process. Here are some of the things I have learned that are different from how I approached creativity previously.

Reflection 4

First of all, I am very happy to be able to take this course this semester. Since this class is in person, each class has class activities and Q&A interactions. And the content of the entire semester is progressive, and the content of each lesson is interlocking. Course-related materials include…
