This week we reviewed the content from the submission of the Learning Plans.
Learning Plan - Clear in own learning
How to construct an easy to navigate document
WIRED - Do you read? - Steve Jobs - Sense of debate
Some of the articles say someone is wrong
Bibliography
Literature Review - dates is crucial, website visited date
capture when an idea was first identified
Look through a publication over 20 years
BOOK: HOW TO TALK ABOUT BOOKS YOU HAVEN'T READ
Shared thinking / Source thinking
How do people learn in School
BOOK: WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM
Steven Johnson, writes in Wired Magazine
Good ideas coming out of collisions
Ideas happen by chance
Keep talking about power of collaboration
What happen now?
Learning Plan, beginning of research project, prototyping/conceptual models
Seamless transition / CARD / Things new are going to grow
Reflection on BA / Separate modules / emphasize specialisations
Long plan - MA Level - hybridity - combining disciplines
possible collaborations:
Special effects+Language = Film
Graphic Design/Communication+Language = Poster/Print
Broadcast Futures+Language=Programme
Fashion+Language=Clothing
3D Film+Language=Film
Interior Design+Language=Furniture
Attach meaning from projects
*Adrian - naval space, architecture, why am I doing Broadcast Futures?
PG01 - Backbone
- links in with other PG modules
Initially first section has a mixture of certain people and uncertain people
Learning Plans - Different navigation methods
'Systematic' + 'Tenacious'
Richie's Learning Plan - Use of the words: 'It's not good enough'
Karl - Going to RCA
use of the word sublime, needs busy environments
MA - dedicated space
legal action - Facebook, Tutor remarked on partying
mini-debate - contextual studies > Facebook
Should not be invaded
Jeremy - writing endorsements - people - LinkedIn
Bill - has to finish projects
Facebook - accessible - students checking in
Things we could do - Sim city
Are we doing things together / or in our own spaces?
Katie - important to walk whilst thinking
Thinking within noise
'Mavericks' - Rave on Air - cannot have work on main screen, so in reaction they bring in their own
Innovation - different between having a style and noise
Hybrid nature of learning - sources
old fashioned forms of thinking:
Stefan Sagmeister
Neville Brody
Bruce Mau
Current sources
Classic sources
John Hartfield - Photomontages of the Nazi Period
Dada movement reacted against the 1st world war
anti-nazi movement opinion - Werkmann - Printing on letterpress
Hand to mouth spreading leaflets and posters.
Used the print furniture at the same surface
Memories of the past - 2 books to add on booklist
looking at obsession - Alfred Wainwright
mapping the countryside
Contemporary icons - Consists more of groups rather than individuals
'Aid Demographics' - Group who started protests
- changed the culture of America
'Action Machine' - Lesbian movements
These groups are hybrids, put themselves out as voices against broadcast powers
Hybrids - impracted on culture
Bibliographies - show where thinking is going
Keep evolving the literature reviews
'John Luc Goddard' - French new-wave (Swiss citizen)
can put people's thinking into boxes
Actually wealthy and not like the movement he sought to motivate.
Researcher goes into the life someone has hid
Period - ideas considered dangerous
Film maker - Albania. Switch off transmission - 2012
switching television, revolution
Also in 2012 - Sundance - 10 day festival at 02
Spend 30% day daydreaming, best time of the day
observation, questioning things
'Sherry Turkle'- 15/20 years of research 'Alone/Together'
for tech/not against tech/research with students at MIT
Questions but does not condemn
Did research into social networking
Have to think questions about whether technology is the driver/or people are the driver of changes.
Important of Testing
Action - Chinese government - testing satelites, military
Think about consequences / Test the idea / in Learning Plan
repeated testing
Who do you test idea on? / Target consumer
receiver. Attitudes from a particular group
Revisit Tent City - You people get a job
People who are dyslexic - walking fast / hearing conservative
What is a job?
What is a focus group? - selected with creative criteria?
Osmosis - meeting someone different
Kieran's learning plan - poetry/forests/tv/poetic way of thinking about relationship between Technology and Nature
Laura - what is the celebration of humanity? - the end of nature?
**Talk about the 'bibliography' as a living thing**
not seen as static, always evolving
Beware of being pompous, leighton cafe, listening to conversations.
places for good conversations
Caroline's Learning Plan - Examples
When we use the term 'Cinema' what are we talking about? - theatre/new and imagined spaces?
Example: Key questions I would like to ask?
Ask for opinion on learning plan?
different answers - questions
Technology can make people out of work
speakers, for cinema
Ethical/moral dimension - how does the question affect people?
People changing their ways of working? Key question about technology: Will it make us happier?
Anti-technology - Luddites movement
Look for extra edge of critical reflection
banana skins 'storytelling'
questions - what does that mean about me?
A natural history science project
Where are we going to with the learning plan?
Books - is there a forward plan? - next 4 weeks, and beyond.
Gap between aspirations and speed to capture enough information to answer the question
What are you going to produce - next year / second year
Production of the prototype of a concept
Skylon-ride
Getting a hand on the journey
Ability to listen to each other
MSc Applied Technologies - seminar at RCA
- relationship between 3D scanning and traditional printmaking - in Jan/April 2012
'Challenge debate'
Example where Rave students challenged norms and debate at the NFT
Find spaces, find out from agegroup
Fashion - check through learning plan - Brianna
'You make it what you want to make it'
Show my learning plan to others
Driving deep the roots of research
Example of the 'Cooler house' - safe area
Step outside of the comfort zone / Am I prepared to fail?
What is going on at Ravensbourne?
Apply 'Tenacity' in arranging interviews
Richie - Determined to arrange interviews
Maria
Karel - organising seminar
Adrian - revisited learning plan - desktop interface
hybrid nature
Do what I want !
-----------------
Where from here?
New books and sources
New events and visits
New collaborations
New experimentations

Research Process - Development in learning to read Chinese characters in Chinese-speaking schools (27 Nov 2011)
Searches for papers on Google Books:
---------------------------------------
McBride-Chang, Catherine.
Reading development in Chinese children / edited by Catherine McBride-Chang and Hsuan-Chih Chen (2003) Praeger Publishers, Westport, Connecticut, USA
Learning System:
Difference between reading and phonological awareness
Comparison test of visual skills between HK and TW students
China
6yr old children taught to read alphabetic script - pinyin since 1950s
phonetic system
then learn characters
HK
In Hong Kong the majority of children learn to read Characters without being taught Pinyin or ZhuYinFuHao. They have not been introduced to an alphabetical phonetic system before learning the characters. (phonological script before logographic/pictographic script)
'morphological'
Taiwan - ZhuYinFuHao (symbols of phonetic pronounciation)
each phoneme is represented by a unique symbol (37 symbols)
continued to be used throughout primary school years
Singapore
Explicit Teaching and Implicit Learning of Chinese Characters:
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6fKBvHtTyxsC&pg=PA33&dq=chinese+children+learning+characters&hl=zh-CN&ei=N57RTpjKHcyx8QPwisW7CQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=chinese%20children%20learning%20characters&f=false
5 principal levels for the description of graphic elements
stroke, stroke-pattern, character, word and sentence
Writing in the air, and dictation of each character.

Thinking about the 3 different approaches to teaching:
Different orders:
L + S only
L + S, then R + W
L, S, R, W together

What am I doing with this.
Studied London Metropolitan – tell you what to think
Rave – tell you to think for yourself
Ravensbourne is not just visual
Simon
Looked at St Pauls, Manifestos
I want 3D TV for you poster, based on US Uncle Bill poster
Drama
No plans for a dedicated 3D channel
Now have the technology, not much more expensive
Political reason, why they are not allowing us to view 3D
US army is using 3D images, simulation of a real life experience
Television drama in 3D, feeling, immersion
Would sex and violence be uncomfortable
Red/Green overprinting
Alot of research comes from the miliatary

Every TV now is 3D enabled
BBC does not have a dedicated 3D channel, has an HD channel
TV industry is driven by the manufacturers, not the broadcasters
Does Accountancy ruin Creativity? Does cost count?
Karel Bata
Stereoscopic 3D media
Manifesto – Purpose, Method
Camera obscura (David Hockney)
Vermeer is more interesting
Perceptual tools, used by the old masters
Same issues coming up with 3D
With 2D photography, a person looks fuller
With 3D photography, a person looks thinner
Comparative study, look at vermeer, how it has been adopted as lenses in 2D and 3D
Are lenses there to make the person more beautiful
Camera can lie about the persons form
Computer models, composition rules
People look more realistic closer up
All representations
What are the questions being asked, life, the universe, and everything, cannot be simplified
'It would be a comparative study of how portrature has been pursued in the various media and how is that perceived'
Christina

Visual effects – can support or distort the movie
Thinking about nature
Story of the explosion
Avatar – just visual effects
People can blame the visual effects of a movie
Visual effects is storytelling
Supporting telling a story
'Spectacular' used instead of describing a 'film' – Hollywood
Visual effects are there for a reason

Research Process - Visits to Brunei Gallery SOAS and Ashmolean Museum (19 Nov 2011)
Following the presentation of the Manifesto and Learning Plan I wanted to look at my next sources of research. I wanted to cover two site visits to view examples of primary evidence and look at curation styles with a gallery/museum context.
I first of all visited SOAS to go to the Brunei gallery and the Foyle Special collections gallery.
At the entrance of the Brunei gallery there is an exhibition of Chinese landscape paintings known as Shanshui, and painted by contemporary landscape artist Xu Longsen.
[img here]
The paintings are watercolour on lightweight ingres lined paper. Each depicts a strongly vertical mountain scene and the sense of altitude and clouds are suggested with patterns of black vertical sweeping rock on white paper. One painting envelopes the central column in the gallery space and also displays a vertical mountain reaching into the skylike lightwell above.
The second gallery contains the Foyle collection. Here there is a beautifully painted examples of porcelain donated from the David Percival collection.
Also I took in an exhibition of Moroccan carpets which showed an interesting example of an installation of a weaving loom, small sitting stools and flattened baskets. These displays presented me with ideas about presentation and sense of place within a gallery context alongside traditional ways of presenting paintings and photos of objects and scenes.
Later in the day I travelled to Oxford to visit the Ashmolean Museum. I had recalled that I had seen an exhibition of Chinese objects, some of which were donated by the V&A museum. I took photos of the Ancient World exhibition area and in particular of the exhibition of 'China to AD 800' which looks at the originations of writing, and craft styles from ancient china, through han, song, yuan, zhou, and tang dynasties.
[images to add]
Upstairs there was a further exhibition of China from AD 800.
Within the attached gallery to China to AD 800 there is an exhibition of Art in China in the 1960s and 1970s. The painting depicted scenes of state and worker, happily working away in the factories and the fields.

Actually it was not so much the paintings that I found so interesting, but a chance meeting with an learner of mandarin called Jenny. She was taking an MPhil at Clarendon Institute and learning chinese characters as part of her studies. I asked her how she learnt the characters and what the study requirements were.
She aimed to learn about 100 characters a week, with 10 a day, by writing each character about 100 times.
I discussed the difficulties of remembering them and she agreed that the more basic ones could be remembered such as the radicals. She also pointed out that on her course, they revisit characters each couple of days to retain them in memory. Jenny pointed me to look at Matilda Lawrence, a female missionary who travelled to China in the 1860s and is mentioned at the Birmingham City archives. She is a similar to Robert Morrison who translated texts about 20 years before. I suggested that I would like to find focused samples of people who are learning Chinese for surveys and interviews, and she pointed me again to academics and students at The Institute for Chinese Studies, Clarendon Institute University of Oxford enquiries@chinese.ox.ac.uk, http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/ea/chinese/index.html, The University of Cambridge, and also The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). Oxford as a city has a surprisingly large number of Chinese students and visitors and so is a promising place to return to do further research.

Looking at numbers:
1% - wealthy
99% - clobbered by 1%
Analogue way of looking at numbers:
meaning - 10
metric
binary
defines civilisation
collective
could be unit, course
defined by numbers
allowed to proceed in terms of
age
postcode
qualifications
students - filtered and selected
meaning - 100
money
century
meaning - 1000
can you visualise?
money
what does that buy you?
tools
expertise
how much am I worth?
look at daily rate?
10,000
tuition fee
100,000
bit of a house in London
house in the country
1000,000 (million)
millionaire
big party
how much do any of us need to earn to live on this planet?
who needs more than 1 million pounds? is it useful for the 21C
1000,0000 (billion)
how much countries are in debt? (not exactly known)
italy
france
germany
billionaires (new millionaires)
what does that number relate to?
top ten most powerful people on planet
- barack obama
- putin
- hu jintao
- angela merkel
- gates
- abdullah
-ben bernanke
- pope benedict
- zuckerburg (worth 75 billion dollars, given money to schools)
- cameron

Think about what the statistic are saying.
Book: What the tiger isnt (Seeing through the world of numbers)
Think what numbers are in relation to criteria.
How many people in the US are over 100 yrs old?
1st survey - 10000
2nd survey - 5000
Lies, not always telling the truth.
Hidden motives behind representing statistics.
Statistics - need to be very precise when using statistics.
Problem with the group - thinking is similar, in same spaces.
Cluster - what is relevant to our area of research.
Involve analysis
----
Book: Steve Jobs - what do we think about value?
look at quality of idea, rather than physical book
useful as a wedge, underneath a screen
Steve's life is described by someone else.
or autobiography? executive summary.
Book: Margaret Tate
smaller book
more interesting? less obvious. look at people who may not be considered to be so important. look into the unknown is more challenging.
many of us are like Tate rather than Jobs...more useful.
In the digital world, we are losing information about the past.
People could not identify why a decision was made a year ago, sony broadcasting.
not stored.
Book: Michael Lewis - Boomerang - Meltdown
Knows alot about bond trading.
Went to Iceland, Germany, UK, time of economic crisis.
Many intelligent people of done bizarre things.
People who bet against the failure of national economies. (ethics)
Things we know/Things we do not know. - does it matter?
(Donald Rumsfeld quote)
----
11.55 meetup

Going into other spaces - which you couldnt anticipate until you are there.
Big believer in primary research - talking to someone face to face.
See them working in their space. Environment they prefer to be in.
Journey to visit them can be an interesting experience.
Liz - seeing different women designers.
Woman - Set designer - natasha grohl
Telling a story
Telling with metaphor, storytelling
Need to do research before interview
Navigate places and filmmakers
Importance of interviewing at a certain time and place
Usefulness of insight into the person
Let dog be, not interupt
Skype is not the same, lack of depth
Culture, not really on their side unless you partake in their activities
Always accept what you are offered - what they consider to be hospitality
Build a relationship
Observe body language
Wrote out a brain dump afterwards - observations, girl, guy, speech.
Some interviews dont always go to plan/spontaneity
Take everything in, observe body language.
Tension/Ease
Huge amount of input - see what they are doing.
Good interview - octane performance
Recognise value of time, be self disciplined
Send material before you arrive, pre-sent questions.
Find questions that are not asked online, know their biographical data
You've done your homework
Information collection - point of vulnerability
Danny Boyle
Zaha Hadid, couldnt get a word in, nervous.
Studio
Take a dictophone?
Look at the loo, to listen to other conversations.
Peoples workplace is an important part of them.
Presented way/background conversation
Legal profession - study minutely
Is research a line of attack?
Cannot just float into situations
About intimacy - do not like indirect contact
Should be rehearsed
What is thing most likely to be wrong - name
They have given you their time
Follow up afterwards
Might be the start of a longer term relationship.

-----
When they should be uploading the learning plan?
Quantitve and Qualitative research are two sides of the same coin
- weighing the pros and cons.
Look at the issue of questionairres
Look at two points of view
1.Information collection (questions) – point of vulnerability, take care.
2.Analysis
Statistical view
Can bias the questions to get a certain answer.
Can spend time on how
Give a distinct view – on who is the audience? - to gather information from.
Facebook personal page – does not represent the general public/not representative of society
Size of the survey ...
what is a useful number for the survey?
Rate of response – 300 people, 30 per cent response.
50 people – nearer to a focus group
Looking at where people shop/postcode
Discussion on London, people in London go to doctor less.
Proposition people in London may fear losing their work, if they go to the doctor.
Go to a school, with help of teacher, to collect filled in forms from children.
Collect statistical data, use a variety of methods to decode and present.
Can place it in a chart. - have to make it more digestable.
Pie chart

Issues of Class - unhelpful in 21C
---
1-2pm - Final exam board

Example: St Pauls Tent City
Agent provacateur
incorrect motion - megaphone
Manifesto - can be lots of text/ or paper
think of viral ways - for people to continue a revolution.

Looking at numbers:
1% - wealthy
99% - clobbered by 1%
Analogue way of looking at numbers:
meaning - 10
metric
binary
defines civilisation
collective
could be unit, course
defined by numbers
allowed to proceed in terms of
age
postcode
qualifications
students - filtered and selected
meaning - 100
money
century
meaning - 1000
can you visualise?
money
what does that buy you?
tools
expertise
how much am I worth?
look at daily rate?
10,000
tuition fee
100,000
bit of a house in London
house in the country
1000,000 (million)
millionaire
big party
how much do any of us need to earn to live on this planet?
who needs more than 1 million pounds? is it useful for the 21C
1000,0000 (billion)
how much countries are in debt? (not exactly known)
italy
france
germany
billionaires (new millionaires)
what does that number relate to?
top ten most powerful people on planet
- barack obama
- putin
- hu jintao
- angela merkel
- gates
- abdullah
-ben bernanke
- pope benedict
- zuckerburg (worth 75 billion dollars, given money to schools)
- cameron
----
Think about what the statistic are saying.
Book: What the tiger isnt (Seeing through the world of numbers)
Think what numbers are in relation to criteria.
How many people in the US are over 100 yrs old?
1st survey - 10000
2nd survey - 5000
Lies, not always telling the truth.
Hidden motives behind representing statistics.
Statistics - need to be very precise when using statistics.
Problem with the group - thinking is similar, in same spaces.
Cluster - what is relevant to our area of research.
Involve analysis
----
Book: Steve Jobs - what do we think about value?
look at quality of idea, rather than physical book
useful as a wedge, underneath a screen
Steve's life is described by someone else.
or autobiography? executive summary.
Book: Margaret Tate
smaller book
more interesting? less obvious. look at people who may not be considered to be so important. look into the unknown is more challenging.
many of us are like Tate rather than Jobs...more useful.
In the digital world, we are losing information about the past.
People could not identify why a decision was made a year ago, sony broadcasting.
not stored.
Book: Michael Lewis - Boomerang - Meltdown
Knows alot about bond trading.
Went to Iceland, Germany, UK, time of economic crisis.
Many intelligent people of done bizarre things.
People who bet against the failure of national economies. (ethics)
Things we know/Things we do not know. - does it matter?
(Donald Rumsfeld quote)
----
11.55 meetup
----
Going into other spaces - which you couldnt anticipate until you are there.
Big believer in primary research - talking to someone face to face.
See them working in their space. Environment they prefer to be in.
Journey to visit them can be an interesting experience.
Liz - seeing different women designers.
Woman - Set designer - natasha grohl
Telling a story
Telling with metaphor, storytelling
Need to do research before interview
Navigate places and filmmakers
Importance of interviewing at a certain time and place
Usefulness of insight into the person
Let dog be, not interupt
Skype is not the same, lack of depth
Culture, not really on their side unless you partake in their activities
Always accept what you are offered - what they consider to be hospitality
Build a relationship
Observe body language
Wrote out a brain dump afterwards - observations, girl, guy, speech.
Some interviews dont always go to plan/spontaneity
Take everything in, observe body language.
Tension/Ease
Huge amount of input - see what they are doing.
Good interview - octane performance
Recognise value of time, be self disciplined
Send material before you arrive, pre-sent questions.
Find questions that are not asked online, know their biographical data
You've done your homework
Information collection - point of vulnerability
Danny Boyle
Zaha Hadid, couldnt get a word in, nervous.
Studio
Take a dictophone?
Look at the loo, to listen to other conversations.
Peoples workplace is an important part of them.
Presented way/background conversation
Legal profession - study minutely
Is research a line of attack?
Cannot just float into situations
About intimacy - do not like indirect contact
Should be rehearsed
What is thing most likely to be wrong - name
They have given you their time
Follow up afterwards
Might be the start of a longer term relationship.

Suggested people that I could interview?
- fields, questions, location...
Manifesto
Research Process
Look at Quantitive Research
14.05 return...
-----
When they should be uploading the learning plan?
Quantitve and Qualitative research are two sides of the same coin
- weighing the pros and cons.
Look at the issue of questionairres
Look at two points of view
1.Information collection (questions) – point of vulnerability, take care.
2.Analysis
Statistical view
Can bias the questions to get a certain answer.
Can spend time on how
Give a distinct view – on who is the audience? - to gather information from.
Facebook personal page – does not represent the general public/not representative of society
Size of the survey ...
what is a useful number for the survey?
Rate of response – 300 people, 30 per cent response.
50 people – nearer to a focus group
Looking at where people shop/postcode
Discussion on London, people in London go to doctor less.
Proposition people in London may fear losing their work, if they go to the doctor.
Go to a school, with help of teacher, to collect filled in forms from children.
Collect statistical data, use a variety of methods to decode and present.
Can place it in a chart. - have to make it more digestable.

Research Process - Character Experiments (for Manifesto)
These are the original characters that I selected for their stroke forms.
These are the distilled stokeforms in black, inverse and red. I have not cleaned the spurs as these strokeforms will be cutout.

Methods - research
Collaboration
Thinking about thinking
Refining and focusing
Clarify to express to someone else

- Debates / For & Against
(Reflecting critically)
- Advocate - put forward ideas
- Persuasion
- Sequence/Pitching
- early/before lunch/end of the day
- first impression - mind is made up early
which is most important - content/presentation?

1.Form follows function, and that is the law
FOR
Form follows function, as in nature

AGAINST
---
2)
Money is the root of all evil.
FOR (Statement is true)
AGAINST
3)
It is better to travel than arrive.
FOR (enjoyment)
Travelling is better.
Viewpoint - told to value achievements.
Result should not always be about the destination.
Sense of achievement
Can control the path
Cannot control the outcomes
Emotional perspective - more valuable experiencing
Remember a birthday gift/buying or receiving? - not that significant.
Paperchase - everyone is trying to get certificates, getting to that point they enjoyed
Not just paying tuition fees to just get a certificate
No real arriving point
If the journey is more important then you may not have a goal, if you have a goal you will know where you are going.
Feeling from winning, is from the hard work put in.
Can look back at the past to move forward, reflection on meeting the goal.
AGAINST (4) (uncomfortability)
Arriving is more important that the journey
Arriving completes the journey
Travelling on the underground - stressful, expensive.
Myth - travelling - great experience
Travelling - can be an unpleasant experience
Travelling - polluting, lots of things
Can do without travelling - Telecommunication, teleportation
New journey - arrrinvg at the hotel
Need sense of definition, getting lost
Wasting time on the journey
Arrival of destination - causes good memories of travel
Goal can change whilst on the journey

I saw that I was going to present ideas in a language that was not in my own language.
Skill
Way to shift in agenda
From metaphors
Can be about imaginiing

Contemporary idea of time. - pressure,speed
Do we like goal driven people? Mike, entrepeneur - think fast
Mountain road - turning corners fast.
Act slow, think fast
Lawyers make sharp manouevres in debate
Sharp agility

Parliament channel - oppositional (coalitions are difficult) / arc - with europe.
- structure of thinking.

- Debate helps to formulate a lead question.
Brian Johnson - space to have free thinking.
Time to have space to study.
'Poster'
exhibited in printed form, can this be projected on the large wall.
PG students should share information with Ug students
2.Learning plan (progression being made) - Must be a PDF
Quality, diversity of innovation demonstrated in the concept
Continuation of thinking
Links must be working
Need to be able to justify this to the assessors
Journey - includes a number of different elements - map of different bits.
Attempt to analyse, overview
Think about directions one is going into.
Giving meaning to the journey.
Show why certain things are important.
Learning Journal (Progress)
Literature review - editorial priorities - 2 or 3 lines about the reason that a text is important to the area of study. Evaluating which are of use - can take form of essay, or document, or annotated bibliography. Not just a book list.
Mind maps
Insight
Formative assessment
Debates
About analysis and evaluation, adding meaaning
Word limit attached.
Say the key things within the learning plan - be selective.
Add in:
Formative Assessments
Add in:
Debates
Add in:
Manifestos - much of what has been claimed today.
3.Learning Log (not assessed) / Confluence / Moodle
Scrapbook, capture device - way of collecting material
Can be a PDF, pointers to other places.
4.Individual Researched text (Arrival at a model for research strategy)
Point of stability, allows for re-iterations
Major project.
Thinking should still impact on the business unit.
Research process follows through all three semesters.
Huge diversity of business models.
