It’s a Process NOT a Project There is no magic set of instructions to make you successful Creativity is key, and creativity takes trial and error… lots of error. Passing a class, doesn’t mean its over. For a DIFD major, the learning is just beginning. You will fail. Failure doesn’t mean you’re done. It means you learned something and will try again, and again if needed. List Learn FAIL Create
