Note: In this course, we will try to achieve something a little different from the general course works. It is – the time and effort you’ve invested in this course will not just be defined by your course scores and credits. As this is a course about social design in the real world, let us work together to unsettle the conventional grading system and enjoy whatever you encounter from this experiential course. That is, to develop meaningful ways to prioritize your and the team’s process of learning, rather than being plagued by the stress of grades.

Please take this chance to develop your ownership of the project by being an open-minded, passionate, and wise doer. Try to focus on your reflexive moments, mutual accountability, and potential progress you could make together with the team. By the end of the course, we hope you will enjoy what you have brought to the rest of the team, and what you learn from people, and be proud of being part of it!
