How to teach / Showcase student work Updated 2025-07-16
The thing about projects is that they are illiquid: it is not easy to immediately compare them.

Just like in the real world.
You have to create portfolio, and do some public relations.

    2,
    3,
  ]
}
is one of the most infuriating design choices of all time!!!
