Burdens of Linearity
...Another
issue this process confronts is an overemphasis on arbitrary completion of the
work, prompted by the end of a school term, for example, may have unintended
consequences for student learning, and the project itself. While there is often
great satisfaction for students and faculty on a job well done, it is not
entirely clear whether this is a positive pedagogical outcome. Rather than
understanding the production of architecture and design as continuous processes
of revision, rethinking, and reconsideration, students come to learn that such
thinking may quickly interrupt the goal at hand, which is the completion of the
project, often dictated by arbitrarily set dates.
