For the industrial design postgraduate entrance examination, the results of specialized courses largely determine the overall results of the postgraduate entrance examination. So how should we allocate time and answer questions during the examination of the theoretical major course of industrial design postgraduate entrance examination?

I. Course Introduction of Industrial Design Theory Specialty

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of questions in the exam of "Design Theory": "Design History" and "Design Analysis". Design history refers to books about design history, such as world modern design history and industrial design history. The contents of the survey include design schools, design styles, design ideas, designism, representative designers and representative works in different historical periods in design history. Design analysis generally includes the analysis of some products, consumers and design concepts.

Second, the form of the problem.

In most colleges and universities, pre-theoretical courses generally include the following types of questions: fill-in-the-blank questions, noun explanation questions, short answer questions and essay questions.

Third, the answering skills

1.

Fill-in-the-blank questions generally examine candidates' ability to master fragmentary knowledge points, pay attention to which topic they belong to when examining questions, and pay attention to the integrity of test sites when answering questions to avoid minor mistakes.

2. Noun explanation questions

This kind of examination questions generally examine the examinee's all-round understanding of high-frequency test sites, and the items should be clear and accurate when answering questions.

3. Short answer questions

This kind of examination questions generally examines the examinee's mastery of basic knowledge and basic theory, and should be answered in different points to show the meaning of the topic as comprehensively as possible.

4. Paper problems

This kind of examination questions generally examine students' ability to analyze and solve problems. Topics are basically not limited to book knowledge, but can be combined with design hotspots and design concepts. This requires candidates to pay more attention to cutting-edge design during the preparation period.

Fourth, preparation guidance

1. Consciously understand different aspects of knowledge in the preparation process. Such as man-machine, function, shape, color, material and structure.

2. Collect more high-quality papers in the design field at ordinary times, and collect some materials that other people's opinions can be applied to the essay questions, so as to avoid having nothing to say when answering the essay questions.
