Type III is the final typography class that undergraduates take before graduating. It consists of an overview of basic typographic vocabulary, and quickly moves into three concurrent projects that work students through hierarchy, structure, typographic systems, and book design. Because of the varying nature of each project, it also becomes an opportunity to teach about practical production issues such as color calibration, bookbinding, and paper choice.
My duties as a Teaching Assistant were to be an active, supportive member of each studio session, and to meet with students individually outside of class in the event that they needed additional critique or had missed a class. I also answered questions and gave critiques via email. At the end of the semester I had input in determining grades for all of my students.
