This class was a great break from all of my other classes. There were no readings, quizzes, or exams. The only grade was a notebook with sketches, notes, and a daily reflection for each day of class. If you missed a class or two recordings were posted online so you didn't have to worry about losing a day of notes either. There were periodical notebook scans that were then graded. I am in the College not the A-School so my sketches weren't graded as strictly as they may have been for those in the A-School. The lectures were pretty interesting for someone who wasn't in any studio courses. They all focused on joining different elements to create unique styles of architecture and design. There were a lot of intersections that I was unaware of and definitely opened up different ways of thinking. If you are able to get into this class I would definitely take it.
