Media Arts Majors, 09-01-2023

Published on

Today's to-do list includes the following items:

  1. Warm-Up: 
    1. Take a moment to read through the goal statements handed in for Monday's Warm-Up, then use the REPLY button in this Canvas assignment to answer the two questions listed in the rubric.Grading Rubric:
      1 pt What is something that stands out in the goal statements from your classmates?
      1 pt Is there anything you'd like to adjust on your own goal statement, and if so, what?
      3 pts Proofread your work.

      ADDENDUM:

      If you rewrite your goal statement in addition to answering the above questions, the new version will be printed and hung up in place of the old version.

    2. Warm-Ups are usually a 5 point Independent Work grade if a written response is expected, or a 5 point Assessment grade if the Warm-Up is a quiz. They are due at the start of class and not eligible for late submission or resubmission.
  2. Monthly Incentives
    1. Monthly Media Arts Incentive:
      1. "Arcade Day" at the end of the month.
        1. September's Arcade Day is scheduled for 09/29/2023.
      2. Students remain eligible unless a Notice of Concern has been earned that month for grades or behavior, though a student who missed out from low grades can earn back their Arcade Day privileges if they bring their grade back up.
        1. Check SchoolMax - if your avg is 70% or above, you're probably eligible.
  3. Password Resets
    1. UPDATE: I was previously wrong about the reset date, your temporary password MUST be changed by September 5th, not the 6th.
    2. It is still YOUR responsibility to use IDM to change your password.
    3. Changing your password is not an excuse to miss handing in work. You were expected to finish this on Monday.
  4. Syllabus
    1. You will be held accountable for your behavior and your work (or lack thereof).
  5. Q1 Project 1
    1. Due 09-08!
    2. Everyone's Project 1 for this Quarter will be Digital Citizenship 1: Netiquette.
    3. On Wednesday I showed shared how to set up your Pro WeVideo accounts.
    4. Complete Production By 9-6!
      1. This step should take the least amount of time. Most of your work for most projects should be pre- or post-production.
      2. Today's class may be shortened by the scheduled pep rally, so I'd like to share these video tutorials for those who need additional instruction on how to use WeVideo:
        1. WeVideo - Recording (2:39)
        2. WeVideo - Cuts (1:56)
        3. WeVideo - Text (5:24)
          1. Alternate method using Inkscape (5:36) (Use this if you want to add graphics in with your titles/credits/lower thirds.)
        4. WeVideo - Export (5:45)
    5. Complete And Hand In Post-Production By 9-8!
      1. This is when you hand in your work, not when you start your post-production.
      2. Students who wait until the day a project is due tend to run into last minute problems that can't be fixed in a day.
      3. When in doubt, export what you have and hand it in. An unfinished but viewable project will always earn more points than an unviewable or late project!
      4. Projects are 100 point Classwork grades, and are not eligible for late submission.
        1. Projects are eligible for resubmission, but only once and with a limited window. These details are covered in the syllabus and will be reviewed in more detail after Critique Day.
    6. Critique Day: 9-12
      1. The work that's handed in will be shown to the rest of the class, and students will be asked to critique the work of their peers.
      2. Every student will be expected to critique a minimum of ten (10) student-submitted projects, with additional critiques scored as extra credit.
        1. Each critique can earn up to three (3) points.
          1. One point for meaningful positive feedback.
          2. One point for actionable constructive feedback.
          3. One point for the feedback being specific to the project being critiqued. ("Good job!" is not specific feedback!)
      3. Critiques are a 30 point Assessment grade and are not eligible for resubmission or late submission.
  6. Q1 Project 2
    1. Due 9-22
  7. Q1 Project 3
    1. Due 10-06
  8. Q1 Project 4
    1. Due 10-19
  9. Exit Ticket
    1. Complete today's Exit Ticket in Canvas.
    2. Every Exit Ticket will ask the same two questions:
      1. What did you accomplish in Media Arts today?
      2. What did you learn in Media Arts today?
    3. Exit Tickets are always 10 point Classwork grades and not eligible for late submission or resubmission. They are due during the last 10 minutes of class.
