> In Design school, we learned how to criticize without being jerks. We also learned to trust other people, and take criticism without being offended.
I want to design school also. One thing I noticed right away:
We were _taught_ those things, but a lot of people didn't _learn_ them. Even near the end of the program, many of my classmates couldn't handle well (or usually just ignored) the feedback they got in group critiques.
Mostly, it was a problem that solved itself. The people who learned to give and take criticism improved a lot more than those that didn't.
