I am the TEACHER.

If I was hired to teach the first four weeks of a new class called Design Like You Give A Damn, I wouldn't structure the class that different than it was. I would have put more emphasis on the actual project on the first 2 or so classes so people knew what they were allowed to do and not to do. I also would have done the brainstorming with the design team right away because that really helped me. But thats all I would really change, I really like how the class is open with each other and how you don't have to raise your hand to talk. I like how every class is different and I am not always sure what we are going to do, it isn't boring like most classes.
