* What kind of assignments you can expect
* How critiques work
* What you're actually expected to do on a daily basis
* How to translate ideas into paying client projects
* How to make things that will get you a job
* And much moreFrom collaboration and critiques to practice and process, this book gives design students a guide to make the best of their school experience, while also adding value for design professors to understand how to design school from a student's perspective, and to better the collaborative experience.
