Keys to Success:
- Actively work through each lesson, completing your Learning Guide and reflecting on Fashion Industry content. Consider a potential career in fashion, and which aspects of the industry really get you excited.
- Use the Learning Guide as your tool for documenting your understanding. Lay it out neatly and well organized. Feel free to collect additional research and document it on your Learning guide. This would include areas of Fashion that you review on your own if one of the Lessons leads to the rabbit hole of research on the web.
- Make sure you understand all project requirements. If you can't figure it out - ASK!Be sure to use your Moodle message system for regular communication with your instructor
