RATIONALE |
This course exists
to address a need for instruction in a large segment of the ever-expanding
field of digital technology. Digital audio recording is of primary
importance to musicians and the music, film, and television industries, as
well as to the burgeoning variety of online digital platforms and
services. As such it has become a key component in arts education, the
economics of mass media, and culture. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
DESCRIPTION |
COMM/MUSI 210 is the
second course in a series that addresses the processes of digital audio
production for music. It is designed to focus on the processes of
editing, mixing, and mastering digital audio for music. |

|
ATTENDANCE
POLICY |
The characterization of an absence as excused or unexcused is irrelevant. Success in the course requires physical familiarity with the equipment on an individual basis and requires instructor monitoring that takes up instructor time far beyond the scheduled class times. Therefore instructional time is at a premium. If you remain in this class, that means you agree to not miss any meetings, or to accept the penalties described on the rubrics and to accept 0s for missed assignments. Theoretically, one may have legitimate reasons to miss every meeting. My position is that if one misses meetings for any reason, then one should not take the class during that semester in which the absences are likely, or that one should withdraw from the class in the event that absenteeism develops for whatever reason(s). It is also my position that being late for a class will be assessed as an absence. |

ASSESSABLE
LEARNING GOALS |
Proficiency with
the course content and objectives will be assessed by a series of assignments
in which the student will be given specific tasks to accomplish in a studio
setting. Rubrics will be associated with these learning goals. A rubric will also be associated with
the classroom management component of the grade. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
OBJECTIVES |
Cognitive and practical objectives These include
knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of
digital audio processes, techniques, products and results. Affective objectives One of the
affective objectives of this course is to appreciate the practical, economic,
cultural, and social importance of digital audio technology. The other affective
objective is to develop the understanding that working with digital audio can
be a path to lifelong learning, self-expression, confidence, open and precise
communication, and critical thinking as well as a career goal. |
