The twelve-week teaching schedule: what happens in each tutorial, what to prepare, and what leaves the room.
The course meets for one four-hour studio block a week, on a single afternoon. Most weeks open with an hour of lecture before the room turns into hands-on tutorial time for the rest of the block; crit and clinic weeks run hands-on throughout, with no separate lecture. Each card below is that week's actual runsheet — what to bring, what happens in the room, and what you leave with.
