Teaching Design the RIGHT Way…
Core77 recently had a great post on tips for design educators.

Among it is a slight touch of diabolical-instruction that is borderline danger…
Place insane demands. Then double them.
If you ask students for 2 models, they’ll bring in 2 models. If you ask for 6 models, you’ll get 6 models. The more work that comes in, the higher the chances that some it will be good, and that a tiny bit of it will be great. So ask for 12 models.
