Final+essay

How do I start the final essay?

What I want you to do is introduce your placement organization, describe your responsibilities and then look at one aspect of your placement experience or some aspect of the industry in general to do a more in-depth analysis using research from business journals and books - textbooks even. You are now moving from "practice" back to theory to see how the translation works. Some of the topics might have to do with the design processes you are using, the iteration process, how technology has impacted the industry, motivation, creative thinking, organizational behaviour, leadership or management styles. You might also look at research on designer-client relationships etc. Pick a topic that you are interested in knowing more about. You might even look at a few journals to see some of the more current issues in that industry. Give this some thought and maybe send me (by email tracey.bowen@utoronto.ca) some of your ideas for more feedback.
