Lab projects will comprise the bulk of the work, with students completing several small-scale projects and one Final Project to demonstrate their ability in the main components of the course. In addition, there will be one or two small announced quizzes. Attendance will account for part of your grade as well. Mini Project Guidelines Below are some ideas to use as guidelines for the three mini-projects. These are designed to encourage experience and minimum competency with three basic types of music software.
Expectations are quite modest.
Students are not expected to master all of the intricacies and complexities of the software, but merely demonstrate an understanding of the basics of the program. Students are encouraged to submit drafts of their work for evaluation and suggestions whenever possible. You can turn in work after any session where you've saved work towards completion of a project. In addition to receiving extra credit for these draft submissions, they will likely improve your grade on the project. It is required that students turn in at least one draft of the Deck II mini-project and Final Project.
