Homework: Start to write your mock-up proposal. Go
find a lecturer who will listen to your idea. You have to
have a topic (or better a short proposal) before you discuss with
him/her. Discuss and refine the proposal. Write down
his/her comment and your resolution (how you improve it).
Hand-in your short proposal including lecturer's comment and your
improvement within 2 weeks.
