Books Required:
There are no
books required for this course, but there are numerous resources that will be
made available to the student for research on individual projects.
Materials Required:
There may be
some additional material costs over and above what the course lab fee covers
dependant on materials used in a particular project.
Instructors Expectation:
This is a
design/ build studio class which means that the instructor advises the student
as he or she is working on a project. This conversation happens in real time as
choices are being made as to the direction of the work. This means that
attendance is critical for this to take place.
Group critiques are also a way for the student to receive feedback on
their work.
