 Difficulty creating an integrated curriculum
 -Training issue
 -Class took on a “test prep” environment
 -Tension between certification focus & designers’ desire for
   integration & authentic workplace engagement
 -Class lacked programmatic coherence between Tues class &

 Focus on discrete skills rather than conceptual
  frameworks
-Curricular materials used (MS, IC3) were not integrated
-Instructors lacked integration experience/training
