Abstract

This research wants to develop and test innovative modular courses of form generation. There were four modular projects in the course “Form Theory,” and twenty-two students completed all assignments of the twenty-eight students originally enrolled. After analyzing the data of student self-assessment and reflection, we found that students are more proficient in proportion and volume than contours and surfaces. We hope that our finding is conducive to follow-up improvement of modular courses and syllabus design.
