Attendance/Participation:

The expectation is that students attend class, be on time and be prepared for class. The class meets once a week, therefore 1 absence may occur during the term without penalty. After the 1st absence, a 5-point deduction (5% of the cumulative grade) per absence is the penalty.

Professionalism is required. Assigned work is BY OR BEFORE THE SPECIFIED TIME AND DATE. A letter grade will be dropped for every day that the work is late.

If you have a situation that results in extended absence, please contact the instructor to make arrangements.

Course Materials Purchased by the Students:

• Portable Hard Drive(s). A minimum of 1 portable hard drive is required. (Two portable drives are recommended, one for editing & one for protected storage of original media files). The editing drive is required & must have USB 3 connectivity.
• Headphones (over the ear, NOT earbuds if possible—it makes a big difference). You (and all other students) are expected to use headphones when working in the Carmichael Computer Lab.
