That wasn't entirely true. What I really meant was that you weren't going to have to buy a text BOOK . It is available through two servers, in case one of them is down. Attendance will be closely monitored.

There will be a significant penalty for late work and for lack of attendance. A more complete look at how points are allocated is available on the Grading Structure web page. A significant portion of class time will be spent in discussion of techniques and their application to specific situations. All class members will be given the opportunity to share in the discussion. The writing component of the class, normally in the form of a script or treatment, will be reflected in the grading of each project.
