<aside> 💡

create a document for the first week that details your brainstorming process, feedback, and REFLECTION!

• organize and reorganize with your ideation order AND random/unexpected orders “deconstructing as we did in class exercise!”
• To get a fresh eyes on your existing thought patterns and direction for your thesis trajectory
  • visualize your mind/reasoning flow on each sticky note on your Miro/FigJam

In this documentation, focus on your idea generation process, especially how you organize and match all the sticky notes. Be sure to do this exercise with your friends!

My reflection:

Today, by giving my full attention to your ideas, I better listen to your interests, formulate insightful questions for you and see how much you understand on brainstorming process, domains, and precedents.

I love being asked questions, so please don't hesitate—ask me anything! anythings that aren’t clear for you and anythings that you wonder!!!

This meeting provides an opportunity for you to delve into your driving motivations, engage in thoughtful reasoning and speculation, and explore the core/relevant ideas you wish to investigate for your thesis. Please make sure your thoughts are organized on your Dev Blog, where you've documented the Part 1 exercise, and come prepared for Thursday's class and your 1:1 meeting.
