- In-class exercises/presentations are intended to get you to work creatively with others in the class on a design concept, to share ideas, and to integrate ideas from the readings/discussion.
 - Homework will be a larger or more in-depth version of the in-class exercise, and will also be presented in class. People can work in teams or alone.
