Notes on: [[What makes a good project?]]


We have 102 students registered for the course, so plan to have 17 project teams of exactly 6 students each. We aim to advertise at least 19 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
In 2025, we expect there will be NNN students, so XX project teams of 6. We aim to advertise at least YY design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
