Make sure to have specific questions prepared during your crit and provide what is required for the project (double check what they want you to show up with). Otherwise, you dont get a lot of improvement on your current project standing. Your grade depends on who you work with*** and honestly as long as you don't need people to baby you you'll do fine with others.
