I was referring to the technical courses of design and props not acting. This may also be a recent addition to NIDA’s courses as 2 of my friends are still in their second year of the props course and one other graduated this year from the design course. According to them all had to do the same assignment.

So if your friend graduated a few years ago or studied acting what I wrote may not apply to them. Though I could have specified in the article that “…all students…” meant all the recent technical courses, this actually further proves my point…
