Evaluation:
Website will be built using Weebly. Students will update their websites with new project posts, artist statements, and other influential material.
Daily Work/Class Participation will be based on students’ active participation in class. This includes coming to every class with a charged iPad, class supplies, and all other necessary materials needed to fully participate in class. There also may be activities that students are asked to complete on a day-to-day basis.
Projects will be assigned throughout the semester. These projects will involve some elements of editing techniques, sound design, recording, and other skills that the students will be asked to complete. Projects will always be assigned well in advance of their due date. While the teacher will work with each student, Late Work is highly discouraged and may result in a reduced grade.

Materials:
- Storage and Accounts: Students will need to have a SoundCloud account to share their music and create a website at Weebly. You will need to have a way to store music files for working on projects outside of the class. I recommend using a Dropbox or other cloud storage account.
- Computer Hardware and Software: (provided) Apple iMac Desktop Computers and Logic Pro X
- Logic Pro App: (student must provide) We will explore this app and it’s capabilities to enhance their recordings.
- Personal Musical Devices: students may wish to use their own instruments to record and have their own headphones to work with at their stations.
