  1. Welcome to Multimedia I Mrs. Harrison’s 08-09 Classes!

  2. COURSE OVERVIEW • Grade Level: 10-12 • Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in Computers/Careers • Length: Year • This course meets District Graduation requirements for elective credit. The class will focus on the use of animation, imaging and basic web design. • Software titles include: Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and iMovie…

  3. EXPECTATIONS • I expect you to succeed and have fun in the lab. • Because students are coming into this class with a variety of experiences and abilities, students must be able to be self-directed. • This is a project-oriented class • minimal amount of lecturing • expectation is for students to be working on their projects and becoming proficient with the software and assignments. • Video tutorials are provided to help to insure your success…

  4. GRADING POLICY • Since virtually all of our work will be completed in class it is critical that you attend regularly. • It is essential that you remain on-task while in the lab. • One-half of your overall grade will be determined by attendance and participation. • You cannot participate if you are absent!…

  5. GRADING BREAKDOWN • 50% Classroom Participation • 50% Projects and Presentations* • *Missed deadlines affect participation and project scores. You must complete all assignments. You may make-up assignments during break &/or lunch. • Note:Participation means that you are on-task whenever you are in the lab. The task may be listening or observing or responding. It might mean working in groups or individually. If you consistently follow directions and abide by the classroom guidelines, you are participating…

  6. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES • ATTENDANCE… • Multimedia Production is a hands-on, laboratory-type course and therefore most of your work will be completed in class. • Regular attendance is critical. • You must make up absences at break, and/or during lunch or your grade will suffer. • Excused absences are not an exception…

  7. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITES • TARDIES… • Because I require little or no homework, I absolutely insist that you be logged in and working within three minutes of the tardy bell and that you remain on-task until you are dismissed (after the bell). • Tardies will cost you an extra 30 minutes in the lab. • Three tardies will result in a referral and lunch detention in the lab…

  8. STUDENT RESPONSIBLITIES • RESTROOM PASSES… • You will get three restroom passes. • Any passes beyond that will cost you an extra 30 minutes of lab time. • As a reward for those who take care of business on their own time, I grant 60 minutes of extra credit each grading period (up to 6 hours of extra credit over the course of the year)…

  9. STUDENT RESPONSIBLITIES • Stay on-task and I will assign little (if any) homework. That means the ENTIRE period: • When you walk into the room, sit down and begin to work (assignments will be posted). Anyone who has not begun to work within three minutes of the bell will be considered tardy and will owe 30 minutes of extra lab time. • Do not stop working near the end of the period. The bell does not end the class–I do. Anyone who has stopped working before the bell will be considered off-task. This will affect your participation grade!…
