Textbooks • The main textbook will be: • Nigel Chapman & Jenny Chapman. “ Digital Multimedia : 3rd Edition”, Wiley, April 2009 • Other recommended text • Multimedia : Making It Work, 7th Edition by Tay Vaughan • Designing Interactive Multimedia Systems by Mohammad Dastbaz, McGraw-Hill • Fundamentals of Multimedia by Ze-Nian Li & Mark S. Drew, Pearson-Prentice Hall (2004) • Students are recommended to also refer to any other resources that pertain to the content of the course

  7. Further Reading • The scope of the subject is very wide • Impossible to cover the whole text in one semester • Students are advised (and expected) to read topics which may not be covered in the lectures but recommended to improve understanding

  8. Course Assessment • Students will be continuously assessed during the semester

  9. Penalties • Poor Attendance - Students who do not attend at least 80%of lectures AND labs will be BARRED from taking the final exam. • Lectures are crucial to understanding the course material and passing the exam. • The notes alone will not be sufficient. • Make sure your name has been called for attendance purposes or you will be counted as being absent.

  10. Penalties • Late Penalties • Assignments are due at specific times. Generally, for each day late without a valid reason, 20% of the total possible marks will be deducted. • No work will be accepted after 5 days without legitimate reasons. • You should inform me personally or have a representative contact me if you can’t make it due to extenuating circumstances. • Evidence is, of course, required – such as an MC.

  11. Penalties • Cheating • Cheating, plagiarism, copying and in some cases even unoriginality are offences and those who are caught doing so will get their marks nullified or significantly reduced.

  12. Absenteeism • Do not be absent for any of the assessments and final examination • Make up tests will NOT be considered unless you have a very good reason and proof. • Even then, the one you take, will have to be different from the one everyone else did. • All MCs and letters must be handed to me within 3 days of the last absenteeism or it will not be accepted. • Keep a copy of the MC or letter for your own records.

  13. Lecture Sessions • All lectures and labs will be conducted at the times and places scheduled. • Students are advised to seek help and ask relevant questions during lecture hours, if necessary. • All lectures should be completed by the end of the semester so that students will have a one-week study break for revision.

  14. Lecture Notes • A copy of the lecture slides will be made available to you at the web folder. • Please download the latest versions because they are frequently updated. • You are advised to keep a printed copy of the slides at hand in case of multimedia equipment failure during class. • Contents of lectures are based on the textbook, recommended text and supplementary material. • Please read the textbook and any supplementary material on the subject you can find

  15. Laboratory • (ONE) Lab session per week • In the lab you will learn concepts pertaining to authoring tools, photo editors and video editors. This will be helpful to your course project. • There will be assignments to test what you have learned in the lab. • A practical approach to what is taught during lectures will also be covered in the labs. • Don’t miss any unless you wish to be at a disadvantage.

  16. Project • There will be a semester-long group project in which you will have to work together to create some kind of multimedia product. • The details of this project will be given to you come the 3rd week of lectures, when the final list of students taking the course are confirmed.

  17. Quizzes • Maximum of THREE(3) quizzes will be administered in the course during lecture hours • Usually, you will be informed of upcoming quizzes about 1 week in advance. • You might also be given a pop-quiz any time during lecture hours. • Be prepared and do not be absent • No repeat quiz will be given for absentees unless supported by strong reasons

  18. Final Examination • Final Examination questions will be based on ALL the topics covered in the course • Some questions will be based on the slides and textbook • Some questions will require you to think beyond the confines of the slides and the textbook(s) • Basically, you need to be able to piece together the various aspects and knowledge of multimedia you have studied and apply them in new situations.

  19. Meeting The Lecturer • This course is not difficult. If you put in the effort, you should do fine. • If you do not understand any of the topics covered in the lecture, please ask questions. • Students can meet the lecturer during consultation hours (posted at the office window) or make an appointment.
