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 advance the principles of creating frame-by-frame and interpolated motion, and have the correct terminology.

2) Students will be able to solve design and technical problems in traditional animation.

3) Students gain the ability to use motion design as a means of expression and improve their character animation skills.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

1) At the end of the lesson, each student will have a portfolio of 2D animation works in which they apply the 12 principles.

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.)
