Hello all,

Just a final reminder to please add any remaining posts and comments to the class site. If you're unsure what work you may be missing, see the Assignments list and Weekly Agendas for details.

If you haven't completed your Grade Survey, please do that ASAP and reach out if you have any questions or concerns about your final grade.

Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing break! I hope to see you in the Spring semester.

All my best,

Hello all,

Today Prof. Monica Berger from the City Tech Library will be giving us a workshop on best research practices. Please be sure to arrive on time so we can get started promptly. Looking forward to seeing you!

All the best,

Greetings!

Here's your weekly COMD3504 reminder. Please review the Week 4 Agenda, complete the tasks, and submit your checklist before our next meeting on Thursday/tomorrow.

In class we forgot to choose a new Art of Noticing prompt, but Jennell and I discussed after class and decided that this week we'd try to "practice 1 hour of digital silence." That means silence your phone and/or any devices that pull your attention away from the physical world around you. Try that for 1 hour today or tomorrow before class and see what you notice!

Here are your tasks this week:

1. If you haven't already, schedule a meeting with the professor
2. Add something to your Writing Portfolio that reflects or challenges your design aesthetic or ideology
3. Revise/amend your Reading Response #2 based on our in class discussions and/or contact the professor with questions
4. Review the Bauhaus Form and Function text and videos
5. Complete your Assignment: Reading Response 4
6. Complete the Art of Noticing activity (see above).

If you are having any issues completing your work or need support, please contact me.

All the best,
