Course Description: casual, hands on, interdisciplinary exploration of interactions in auditory and visual content. Students will interact with both the collaborative relationship of sight and sound as they create content, as well as the perceptual relationship of sound and image as they examine and combine existing works.

Student expectations: be present and participate, respect each other, do some work outside of class each week. Seek to proactively tap, explore, and share your passion.

Grading:
Breath deep. Don’t fret. This is a 2 credit S/NS (pass fail) course. Basic criteria are: if you attend 7 of 10 classes and turn in 4 of 6 projects, you pass. Rather than thinking of this as an additional two credits of school, I like to think of it as a protected couple hours each week to do something I want to do anyway.
