I posted last week about teaching a professional practices course. It turns we already have an MDT Professional Practices course that our students can take as an elective. My students should enroll in that course, since it covers some of the same issues we face as designers. For the rest of you out there, here are some links to great articles and books on this thang we call the graphic design business.
