Teaching Methods:
Lectures/Demonstrations: The first half of each class will be used to highlight the important material within each unit using interactive discussions, group work, handouts, and computer demos.
Labs: The last half of each class is dedicated to hands-on learning, facilitated by the instructor. You will work at your own pace during this portion of the class to solidify the lesson material or to begin project work.
Projects: Each project from the text is designed to teach and assist in assembling a video in a straightforward and simple manner. The individual assignments are to give hands on experience in developing your own video, clips, and computer art.
Course Policies:
Assignments: will be based on what is learned in the text units and class demos.
All assignments are due last week of classes.

Need for Assistance: If you have any condition, such as a physical or learning disability, for which you need extra assistance, please see me immediately. If you have already met with Special Services, please provide me with information regarding your special needs as soon as possible so that appropriate accommodations can be made.
Students are encouraged to ask questions about anything they do not understand. This may be in regard to design, or technical aspects of the course.
Tapping Policy: It is the opinion of your instructor that taping entire lectures is a poor substitute for good note taking and class participation. However, there are some justifiable reasons for taping a lecture. If you have a reasonable need to tape lectures, please request permission in writing.
Software Policy: It is illegal to copy software or typefaces from or to college computers.
Student Conduct: No smoking or eating in classrooms or labs. Your questions, answers, participation and discussions in class are encouraged. It is suggested that you take notes during each class session. If you cannot attend class please notify instructor ahead of time. Only projects assigned in class are to be executed on college computers.
