In INTER2 we run two class streams: (1) the advanced stream and (2) the basic stream for those who have not already learned InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
I might from time to time add new exercises and I sometimes have unannounced small tests.
INTER2 advanced stream
During this academic year, you will be undertaking and handing in several assignments and six projects. Occasionally your submitted work gets lost, so you are required to keep your submission for the whole semester, in case I need to ask you to resubmit.
