Tips
Always back-up your
work frequently; that is, every time you make something you think is worth
keeping. Systems crash when least
expected and you could lose all your work.
It is a good idea to make three backups (on different media), as storage
media are sometimes unstable.
General: Please keep in
mind that manuals are for your use in class and lab. You will sign out & be
responsible for them from the ER. They are very useful as reference guides. Try
not to batter or deface any equipment in any way or lose files and folders
belonging to our class or other classes.
Please report studio lab problems to lab staff immediately to:
Please follow the guidelines for
working in each studio very carefully, as you will be held personally
responsible for problems you incur.
• Always
save onto your own media or into your account as files left on hard drives will
be removed.
• Also,
please keep in mind the highly addictive aspects of working with computers.
Many people lose track of time and later wonder why they have severe back, neck
and eye problems. It is a good idea to
take a rest every 15 to 20 minutes. Look up or beyond your computer or, better
still, at a long distance to relax your eyes.
Take a walk or stretch. Fatigue
can lead to frustration. Stay in touch with your body's needs. Working with
computers can at times be frustrating.
Before having a breakdown, take a break.
Electronic Communication:
Email: All students are expected
to have an active electronic mail account, and should check mail at least four
times a week for class information. Some essential class information is
communicated by email only.
Statement On Academic Integrity:
Class Specific: Collaboration and discussion
about class projects is actively encouraged, and is in no way considered
cheating. This is a studio course, and personal ownership of information is not
deemed to be appropriate. Original images are required except where indicated
otherwise. Projects are expected to reflect personal endeavor, but may also be
collaborative in nature.
Adherence to deadlines is expected. It is the individual student's
responsibility to keep track of deadlines and to present the work to the class
and instructor on the specified dates. 15% per day will be subtracted from late
assignments.
