A complete design project includes aspects of Programming, Conceptual Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, and Design Communication. The core STUDIO COURSES in interior design are intended to independently give students skills in Design, Construction, and Design Communication, but also to give students an appreciation of how these skills work together to produce a complete project. How much do you agree with the following statements:
Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree
Interior design studio courses support each other well by relating content/skills in assignments.
Other interior design courses (building code, materials, business, ...) give me information that is very relevant to my interior design studio courses.
Interior design studio courses work completely independently without relating to each other.
Content I learn in Art History and History of Interiors courses is integrated into my studio course work.

One non-credit internship (summer).
 
One credit DFS (summer).
 
One non-credit internship (summer 1) and one credit DFS (summer 2).
 
Two non-credit internships (summers 1 and 2).

Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree
I have enough choice in which design courses I take in the Interior Design program at MRU.

Currently Interior Design Studio courses (design, construction, dcomm) are offered as separate streams, intended to be integrated but with separate assignments and expectations. Other core courses (building code, materials, universal design ...) are often offered only once in the program and deal with content intended to be utilized throughout all years. How much do you agree with these statements?
Strongly disagree Disagree Agree Strongly agree
The best way to learn Interior Design is if design, construction, and dcomm projects are separate, with separate lectures and assignments.
The best way to learn Interior Design is by learning principles in disipline specific lectures supported by studio assignments combining aspects of design, construction, and dcomm.
The best way to learn/use supporting information (codes, universal design, materials, ...) is in a single course offered once in the program.
The best way to learn/use supporting information (codes, universal design, materials, ...) is to spread out the information across the program in packages relevant to studio assignments.
