Introduction

You have received feedback from a classmate on your price list.

Today you will present to a 

(small) group of your classmates:

• your bathroom floor plan
• why you have made these design choices
• the 5 most expensive items you chose
• an estimated total price for the redesign 

time: 3-4 min

During the bathroom project, students will be working with an imaginary client/ client's wishes when designing a bathroom.

Today the students will present their design to a small group of classmates. You can have groups of 4/5 sit together and present on their laptops. Have other students give feedback by using the peer feedback form (Teams - Lease material)

Last week you also had to answer some questions:

• What did your client request for their bathroom?
• Why did you make these choices for your design?
• What makes your design work so well?  
• Have you included a contingency budget? Why (not)?

Take your floor plan from the previous classes and prepare to talk about your design choices and how much it would cost.
You will be presenting your bathroom design to a small group of clasmates.

ASSIGNMENT

Present your bathroom 

floor plan/ design:

• short introduction about the (imaginary) client and their wishes/ requirements 
• explain your specific design choices and why the floor plan works so well in your opinion
• the 5 most expensive items + total price for the redesign

in groups of 4-5

each group member must think of one question to ask

Form groups and let students present their ideas on their laptop, or printed out on paper/ drawn on paper. Students should do more than just show their floor plan and group members should all ask one question to the presenter.

feedback form: floor plan + price estimate

Find the feedback form in Teams - Lease Material. It is double-sided to account for groups sizes upto 6 students. Groups of 4 or 5 would be more ideal, though.

EVALUATION

presenting in small groups? 

• What type of questions did you 

receive from your group members?
