We will be releasing the P1 grades by the end of Friday. If you have any questions or concerns with your grades please follow-up with Andrew directly. Please email Andrew or message over the course chat with a specific concern in relation to the project rubric(s). Ladan will not be able to talk about grades.

Andrew's Wednesday office hours will be moving to 20:30-21:30 (PST) from now on. You are of course always welcome to email Andrew or message over the course chat to arrange an alternative time to meet.

Pre-recorded lecture survey

If you have some time over the next week, we are asking questions about how you use the pre-recorded lectures on Canvas. Responses are anonymous and the survey should take about 5-10 minutes. Please fill it out if you have time.

Next lecture

The next pre-recorded lecture portion is available at https://andrewh.ca/teaches/interface_design/lectures/07/video. Please watch it before our lecture time.

During our lecture time this week we will:

• 10:30-11:20 — critique sketching exercise and recap upcoming course items. This will not be recorded.
• 11:20-11:30 — mandatory zoom break.
• 11:30-12:20 — group formation time for P3.

Next labs

There will be no labs on June 29 or July 1 due to the holiday on Thursday, July 1. Please make sure to attend the lecture to ensure you join a group for the next project.
