What is a high-level skill, and when does teacher assistance make that skill medium or low skill? It’s important to make sure the kids know these before they start so they can make sure their designs hit the top shelf.

We take a look back at some of the most disastrous classes we've had while teaching design. Anyone who says they have not had a similar experience must be having a giraffe. We also look at what an everyday run of the mill design lesson looks like when it hasn't all gone to custard.


Yes, we know the audio is poor but, you'll have to complain louder, we can't hear you over the sound of the beach.
