“Blank Blue Paper” Quiz as the Memory Challenge (adapted from Episodic Episteme)

Today, I returned from my consultation job in San Francisco. Without rest, I game a talk on on “How to prepare for your doctoral study” to fifty over colleagues in UPSI who are getting to embark their doctoral journey. And then I administer a quiz for my Design Aesthetics students using “blank blue paper” self-learning reflection method.

The quiz, which is happening now in front of me, is quite interesting to both the students (I believe) and me. I split the students physically into two groups—Bachelor of Design in Animation and Bachelor of Design in Advertising, in Dewan Kuliah (Lecture Hall) H. To avoid them cheating, i.e. submitting what they have written in advanced, I prepared blue colour papers for the quiz instead of the conventional white A4 papers. Also, to save the consumption of papers, I encourage them to write or draw things in relatively smaller scale. The only question I asked them, and I actually told them before I left for my US trip, is to flush out whatsoever things that they have learned themselves through three sets of notes I prepared for them upfront. I also request them to scan what they have written and post it on their individual blog. Erm…let’s see how it goes. It’s time to collect the outcomes.
