More Information Students should expect to spend roughly the same amount of time working outside of the class as they do in class. In Mass Media, some of our work is collaborative, some of it is hands-on, and some of it is reading and writing. Assignments include reading and writing about media, creating scripts and storyboards, shooting video, editing tape, and serving as a TV studio crew member. Informal evaluation is a daily process. Student productions are evaluated by the class and by the teacher and interns throughout the summer.
