News for April 2016[edit]

Welcome to our new classroom website. I am still moving stuff from moodle to here. We are learning about and applying our knowledge about design. I have gotten some feedback that some of you think this is "boring but important". I agree. Please remember what I told you: 1 hour of good design saves you hundreds of hours fixing problems later.
