First day of classes (part II)

My second class, Production Methods, which was moved form 5 to 6, was pretty good, as far as potentially boring classes go. The teacher was changed from Tip Sempliner, who I was excited about taking a class with, to Giyhun Cho (yes he's korean) who I had for drawing last year and really liked. So it's ok. They also moved it to 6, but Cho has class in Manhattan until 5:45 or something, so he's moving it to 6:30. Which means I have class 6:30-9(ish). I doubt he'll keep us til 9:30 because he said 6:30-9:something.

Anyway, this class is basically all the stuff we wished we knew last year (unrelated to history of design, which I'm excited for also). It's all technical stuff about materials and how you mold different plastics and what holds up to 8 foot drops and chemical makeup and such. So it has the potensh to be tres boring, but I think Cho will make it interesting, and he also hinted at the fact that he's changing it from total lecture, and he's not going to give us quizzes like Sempliner apparently does. He only found out he even gave quizzes when Matthew Burger came in and gave him Sempliner's old syllabus, which had tests in it. Cho only found out he was even teaching the class like 3 or 4 days ago. Typical pratt organization and communication skills. A similar thing happened with the pain job in Willoughby, which is rather ugly, where they neglected to inform the painters what color they wanted (the painters doubtless inquired many times as to their choice, to no avail) and ended up choosing them themselves or based on one guy in the office's opinion or something. Who knows. Like I said, typical pratt.
