Six Thinking Hats

The six thinking hats concept is by Edward De Bono. For this semester we will be using this in order to evaluate each other’s projects. Instead of just saying we like the project, we will be asked to specify exactly why we like them. We have to form a more critical opinion. We will be using five thinking hats though.

1.      Information (white)

a.      The person who’s project it is will provide some information including the subject matter, genre, medium, opportunities and a brief summery

2.      Emotional Response (red)

a.      First people will state their first gut response, whether they like the idea or not and specify why

3.      Creative Thinking (green)

a.      This is where you think in what direction the project could go without having any constraints

4.      Critical Analysis (black)

a.      You discuss the downfalls of the project eg. unethical, too expensive etc

5.      Positive Overview and Next Steps (blue)

                a. A brief summary of all the positive points and what to do for the next tutorial
