39. “ The creative process is often more important than the final product itself. Often, you learn far more through informal conversations with classmates than in the final critique.” “ I want a class project to make me scared. I need it to go beyond my safety zone and force me to suspend my feeling of security and disbelief. I want the class project to make a difference. It has to be personal .” “ What is the most significant aspect of a class project? All you can learn from the various stages—not necessarily the final result itself, but the whole process that leads to it.” “ The personal success of the project was the result of this new method of research providing me the opportunity to think in a new way ”
