New Assignments

Due before Mon Feb 2: Exercise: Art and Design Inspirations. Please submit to Exercise 4 Shared Folder.

Administrative

No class on Wednesday January 28. My apologies, but I have an unavoidable schedule conflict.

Agenda

  1. Review of peer review exercise (about 10 minutes per paper)

    • Why did you pick it?

    • What can we learn from this paper?

    • Summary of judgement?

  2. Mid-class break.

  3. Discussion of Art and Design Literature
