Agenda

  1. Remaining project pitches (Exercise: Project Pitch, Assignment 9 Shared Folder)

  2. Pair discussions and consultation.

    • The key agenda now is settling on the joint project idea quickly; it could be from either of you, an amalgam, or something new.

    • I know it’s early, but if you can identify any particular materials you’ll need I can help find them or purchase them over the break.
