COMMUNICATION: •   Sick teacher last week  :(    so we’ll try to make it up and mix-in content from more classes in 1. A catch-up class will be scheduled soon.

Experience Design needs its own class but I'll have to re-integrate it differently later. •  What we have to catch up on:  Assignment #1 is replaced with Class 4's assignment. We're at 20% of marks before Reading Week.  We need more practice so we are doing another Unreal assignment: Assignment #3 is converted into an Unreal Assignment and values at 10%, see it at the end of this blog post.
