HOW DO YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF...
Everyone needs to get to 100% and you get 3 hours per week to work on the class

the more you get done here, the less you have to work on the class outside of school

Stay focused!

Turn cell phone off
Make sure all other tabs are closed on laptop
Stay drama-free!
Give yourself that hour for work time

DESIGN LAB TIME

Opportunity to get a project going
Opportunity to experience design process and understand it
Opportunity to learn something completely new
By the end of the design lab, if you have done the work, you will have gained some competencies
Opportunity to work with students who are not in your friend group

MEETING DEADLINES

HOW MUCH DO YOU SET ASIDE?

THE ADVISORY

DO YOU KNOW YOUR ADVISORS' SYSTEM?
Do you know how to make your appointments with your advisor or how they make appointments?
If you are absent, how do you find out about announcements that were made, how do you access worksheets that were handed out?
Does your advisor have a system that they want you to utilize for collecting your evidence?

REMEMBER

IF YOU NEED HELP

ASK FOR HELP IMMEDIATELY!

Learning cycles and the school year move quickly and you are really only here 3 days a week.

Older students give feedback?
