Feedback and critiques should be limited to ideas and delivered with compassion, and should be received and considered in the spirit of fairness, dedication, and improvement. Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants. Promptly notify the organizers if you notice any dangerous physical situation or someone in distress. All participants must respect and obey all laws, rules, and regulations of Virginia Tech, Blacksburg and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
