Textbook; Mixing in Pro Tools Skill Pack by Brian Smithers
Attendance is an important part of your grade. This class
follows the Music Department policy. This means, since we only meet
once a week, that you can only miss one class without it affecting
your grade! Two tardies equal one absents. You must
sign the roll sheet to be counted as present.
Quizzes: There will be a number of quizzes during the
semester. All quizzes will be from 10 to 20 questions (most being only
10). The questions will consist of multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank,
true/false and short answer. There will be no midterm and NO final.
There are NO make-ups on quizzes. However, the lowest quiz grade will be dropped. There is no extra credit.
Quiz grading:
- 100-90% A
- 89-80% B
- 79-70% C
- 69-60% D
- 59-0% F
E-mail: Make sure that you check (or have forwarding set up) on your CSUN e-mail account, since that is how I will be sending much of the class information to you.
Groups: Most of the hands on will be conducted in small
groups (2 to 5 students) that will meet outside of class time for one hour. It is very important that you participate (i.e. show
up, among other things) with your group. It is important not only
for your grade, but also because your fellow group members will be
depending on you too.
Grading for class:
- Quizzes 50%
- Small Groups 30%
- Worksheets/Assignments 20%
