green light outcome

green means you can go ahead. it does not say anything about the quality of the work though.

green and orange means you have or to complete your 1:1 prototype and bring it on thursday or review certain design decisions and see you tutor on thursday. we did let people know what they need to do individually, they should know, if they did listen.

red means you cannot continue the project, unless you have a medical certificate that you deposited with admin on monday.

see you tomorrow at 8.30. we will go through deliveries once again.
