Wow Mr Burger!
That looks like a great class. But I heard students have to work hard and there are two professors that drive the students crazy because they don’t always tell the students the same thing or look at the work in the same manner. But then again I heard that four or five of the students got really neat professional(respectable) design jobs as a result of the projects they produced from the class.

This class was amazing, yes it was a lot of hard work and consisted of no sleep, however it was truly worth every second of it. Working with Matthew and Jeff was a great experience and they know everything there is to know. They helped us all through the semester and gave us enthusiasm, even when things were getting tough they cheered us along.
I miss the class and being an exchange student from Scotland it made a huge change to the way I look at designing, form before function is not the practise we use. I found it inspiring and has indeed stretched my mind and ways of working to new limits and goals.
Thanks again Matthew and Jeff!
