Assignment – Cubes
For this exercise we made 200x200x200mm cubes of edge wood. Each student explored a property of the wood, or a woodworking technique like wood turning, bending, charring, carving and joining.
Through this assignment, wood properties and carpentry methods were explored. Additionally, it allowed us to familiarise ourselves with the workshop machinery, which we will be using much more over the course of the year.

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students’ active learning in glossary assignments.
