WELCOME

- What Works/What's Memorable
- Grading and Attendance Policy
- I don't nickle and dime you with a dozen excercises you'll never see again.
- Everything you do in this class builds to something relevant in a potential media related career.
- Miss an assignment, you still have to go through the process anyway.
- I don't take missed assignments personally either.
- A student submits by deadline you get points; miss the deadline and you you don't get points. Simple.
- Unfortunate, students miss classes and at end of semester write they didn't get enough software instruction?
- I use YouTube. It's better than standing here talking to you - show you the real thing. Then we discuss.
- Hard to believe students COMPLAINED about YouTube's use... it's a TOOL. Pay attention. It's relevant.
- Good luck!
