Communicate with me. They ask me if they don't understand something. They get my feedback as they work on projects. They don't disappear for long periods of time and then suddenly show up, etc. They aren't afraid or embarassed to talk to me if they fall behind.
Some students are sophisticated artistically but undeveloped technically.
Some students know technology well but haven't developed their visual skills. Therefore, in class, we are bound to cover some things you already know as well as some things you don't know. This means that at times you will be bored. Being part of a society means that sometimes you will have to wait for others and accomodate the needs of others . If you finish a project early, please show me your work and then do something productive.
