It is also seen as a way to introduce the discipline of production and to a lesser degree, research. While the exercises are simple, they do involve many of the elements of more complex productions. Finally, these demonstrations are meant to be illustrative of theory and consequently useful as learning tools for the rest of the class. Take a look at the Laboratory Demonstration Projects page for details. There is one other major written project for the semester.
More information concerning proposal is available in the detailed handout.
All students must have an active e-mail account, be subscribed to the class listserv, and be familiar with basic Internet search techniques. A good starting point for getting on the class list is the Lyris Email List Server page. In addition to having a basic email account, you are also expected to construct a basic personal web page on the free server space provided by the University. This part of your work will be handled in the lab sessions. Look for details when they are posted with the rest of the laboratory sessions .
