Reminder

Midterm deficiency report significance in the Foundation:
    It denotes first-half progress and time-management status;
    It is not a grade for us;
    It is not averaged into the final evaluation.

Any deficiency is recorded now while there is time for remediation.
Students can still finish the semester well with a midterm deficiency.

Color Interaction (see Albers; 1963, 1994)
    01 After-image (XIII 1, 2)
    02 Adjacency (L) (V 1.2, 2.2, 4.1) (valeur)
    03 Adjacency (HLS) (IV 1-4; VI 1-4, VII 1-4)
    04 Bezold Effect (XIII 1-3)
    05 Quantity (XVI 1-4)
    06 Weber-Fechner Law (XX 1.1, 1.2, 2.2)
           The visual perception of an arithmetical progression depends
           upon a physical geometric progression.

    Adjacency: afterimage, simultaneous contrast, successive contrast.

Questions on Plan exercise

Questions on Form exercise
    Open the form: divide, separate, unfold, etc.
        and
    Reveal something more about the polyhedron:
        more about the structure, a second material,
        a color, another formal relationships, etc.

Obligations

    Allocation and Selection
        7 days x 24 hrs = 168 hrs wk
        168 hrs wk - 56 sleep hrs = 112 hrs to allocate
    
    Course Load and Courses
        DSC 101
        DSC 121
      x DSC 236 x - not for first semester
        Eng 101
        Mat 117
        GS: people courses, writing/speaking, computer science.
        Check Business minor 
    
    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
    
    | acceptance -> flex time -> targets -> closure -> END |
