Lost & Found, Course Blog

Hello, all.

A couple of quick things.

Someone left a small notebook and pen in B91--I placed them in my
mailbox in the Department office.

Also, some of you mentioned that it was difficult to locate the "Post a
Comment" link on the Survey post. Here is a screenshot of where to find
the link: http://tinyurl.com/d5t948

Your response to the Survey is due Sunday, February 1, 5 PM. Here is
the link:

Sunday the 1st is also the deadline to register for the Technical Forum:

I'll send another note this weekend in preparation for Monday's Soundwalk.

Prep for Wednesday, January 28

Hello, all.

Welcome, again, to FILM 116. We have a busy semester ahead of us, and
a productive one as well, I hope.

Some reminders:

We meet again on Wednesday, 3 PM, B91, for a demo on Blogger and
PantherFile. We will also listen to previous examples of Drift 1
recordings, as well as go through a preview of microphone building.

Supplies, Survey, and Readings

Hello all.

Welcome, again, to FILM 116. It's going to be a busy semester, but I
hope that we can make it interesting and fun.

Here is the list of supplies you'll need to get by Tuesday, September 9:
http://www.glennbach.com/film_116/116_syllabus.html#supplies

You can get all the supplies from Riverwest Film and Video, 824 East

If you haven't filled out and posted the Survey, do so by Sunday,
September 7 at 5 PM. This requires a Google account:
https://www.google.com/accounts/Login

So far I've received one request for 24/7 access to B18. I actually
need to submit this list earlier than I thought, so please e-mail me by
Monday, September 8, 3 PM, if you will be using B18 for this class.

Remember to keep up with your reading. There are three articles you
should read before we go out on our soundwalks on Monday:
Hart: http://tinyurl.com/6mr8cj
Westerkamp: http://tinyurl.com/6hoffh
Ferrington: http://tinyurl.com/5c49ge

We will meet Monday at 3 PM in B91 to watch some examples of student
work from previous semesters. I'll also give a brief demo on Blogger so
you can start work on your Research blogs. We will then break out into
the lab sections for the guided soundwalks. Wear comfortable clothes
and shoes, and bring a notebook and pen/pencil for taking notes and
sketches.

Remember that the lab assignments are posted on the Course Directory:
http://www.glennbach.com/film_116/116_directory.html

Okay, have a great weekend, and try to stay dry. We'll see you next week.
