Review Week 01

FAQs

What are the next assignments, where are they explained, and when are they due?

Assignments are occasional. You manage your work between Targets to complete your work
successfully by the Target date. (See the Target links.) The section coaches help
you with work you bring into each studio. The weekly meetings explain exercise topics.


What are the interval measurements?

The intervals are dynamic subdivision of the square not measurements. You determine
the intervals with major diagonals and minor diagonals subdividing the square by
thirds: 3 x 3 x 3.... Three to the third power (three cubed) is small enough for the
100mm size.


What is the difference between exercise 1.1.4 and 1.1.5?

Exercise 1.1.1 divides our colors into two simplex sets, set 1 (warm) and set 2 (cool).
Exercise 1.1.4 creates the duplex set 1 (warm) from the simplex set 1 colors (warm).
Exercise 1.1.5 creates the duplex set 2 (cool) from the simplex set 2 colors (cool).


What is the difference between exercise 2.1.2 and 2.1.3?

Exercises 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 are mixing exercises that mix duplex sets 1 and 2 from
simplex sets 1 and 2. Exercises 2.1.2 and  2.1.3 are positioning exercises that show
a relative position of duplex colors between simplex colors: duplex set 1 between
simplex set 1 colors, and duplex set 2 between simplex set 2 colors.

        168 hrs wk - 56 sleep hrs = 112 hrs to allocate
    
    Course Load and Courses
        DSC 101
        DSC 121

    Work Load Formula
        CrHr x 3 = B
        CrHr x 4 = A
       (CrHr x 3) + Wrk = 60 hrs wk maximum
        (15 x 3) + 15 = 60 hrs wk
        (15 x 4) + 15 = 72 hrs wk

How we do work
    D = demonstrate (your ability)
    S = support     (your decisions - w/o preference)
    C = communicate (your knowledge)
    
Think and Draw
  
Think about what you do and how you do it;
Think about what you say and how you say it;
Think about what you think and how you think it.

Three learning ways
    1) from your efforts
    2) from your colleagues
    3) from your faculty

Cooperative matching effort
    X------------>O  Teacher centered
    X----->|<-----O  Meeting halfway
    X--->     <---O  Matching effort
    X--------------  Cooperative overlapping matching effort
    --------------O> 
    
Three people types:
    (1) those who make things happen; 
    (2) those who let things happen; and 
    (3) those who ask 'what happened?'
    
Project and time management
    concurrent projects
