Light course. It introduces you to elevator pitches, portfolios and job applications. Kim does a great job of highlighting the key components of each deliverable. marking is not harsh and she is super helpful with answering questions and giving extensions. Showing up for class is helpful toward participation grades and asking questions but not completely necessary.

Pretty much a bird course. Very easy and basic career prep stuff, but some things are definitely useful and it really helps you to put together a portfolio + prepare for the job application process.
