Challenges with class?
sending 'designs' down to in the Fall caused issues with Structural Engineering dept.
- They wanted to make sure we couldn't be held responsible for structural integrity and safety issues
Spring quarter
- TA for class had personal crisis and Karim needed to take on full management of the class
Student Organized class is always difficult to manage (without a dedicated team to work on it)
- some work was done to push for new position
- professors who have yet to make tenure are in a tight spot bandwidth
[edit]
Candidate Solutions
Need to address this before the end of the quarter, Classes have always been perhaps our greatest impact
- Less practical projects?
- Working closer to campus?
