Class schedule :: DMA 207 : Digital Media Programming :: Fall, 2009
About the Schedule
The Week column indicates what week the class is in.
The Date column contains the day and date of the class.
The Class Description column describes what we will do during that class. Classes are categorized as follows:
- Demo/lecture will usually feature a demonstration of the technical processes required to complete the weekly exercise. Often, step by step instructions are listed to assist in the completion of a task. It is highly recommended that a "dry run" of the exercise be completed prior to attending Demo/lecture classes. Assignment descriptions are typically written out here or provided via a link.
- Quiz/Exam will follow selected readings and lectures. All quizzes will be conducted on Angel.
- Critique will be held on work due dates. The first 10 or so students to hand in their assignments will receive critiques, so get your work in early.
- Lab work will be time for you to work on assignments, and have assistance from your classmates or me. There will often be lab work time after discussions.
The Work Due column shows what assignment(s) are due that class.
The Reading Due column contains links or chapter/page numbers for readings, videos, and tutorials to complete for that class.
Lab work Projects and exercises are due on their "Work due" date BEFORE the class begins, so that they may be discussed and critiqued.
