SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: This course aims to get students to a stage where they can recognize and explain the basic approaches in animation analysis, interpret and discuss animations systematically by employing a field-specific vocabulary, compare and evaluate animations.
Course Content: In the scope of this course, students list and define different techniques and types of animation, observe the applicability of story and film analysis techniques to animation, develop an animation-specific analysis strategy with a focus on the visualization of movement.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Students come to recognize the basics of story, film and animation analysis.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Students develop and use their skills in animation analysis and evaluation.
  2) Students use their newly acquired knowledge and experience in animation analysis to create new animations.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Students raise their learning competence by taking notes in class and conducting individual research afterwards.
  2) Students develop field-specific competences in animation analysis, evaluation and creation.
