This class is highlighted by independent, real world projects, and the chance to design and build a complex project with autonomy. The lack of clear guideposts and expectations for projects were the worst aspects of this course. To improve the course students suggested more one-on-one meetings, more rigorous requirements, and additional interaction between the students in the class. Prospective students should know the class requires personal motivation. The intellectual challenge is similar to design team, with the difference of solo projects.
