Fall 2024 - The class consisted of two main essays, weekly writing prompts, required texts, and 2-3 out-of-class activities (extra credit if you do 5). It was a lot of work, but I did learn a lot. Attendance is mandatory, and he doesn't submit slides until 4 days after the lecture has passed. Huhtamo is very well-versed in design and media arts.
