Some Practical Info
Supplies
- Headphones are very useful and required for audio work in the lab.
- Blank DVD-R disks for backup and presentation. Do not rely on Lab drives to store your work – it may be deleted at any time.
- Highly recommended but not required: 20-60+ GB Firewire Drive.
Lab Issues
Storage space: There is a good deal of storage space on the Lab machines – but no guaranteed storage. Project files are often deleted by other students or lab assistants. To make sure your files are secure, back them up and take them with you either on CDR, DVD-R, or a firewire drive (recommended). Late or missing projects related to missing, deleted, or damaged files will not be accepted.
Regarding the Mac & OSX: This course requires an intensive use of the Macintosh platform. If you are unfamiliar with Mac OSX it is highly suggested you spend time early in the semester to familiarize yourself with the OSX environment. Unfamiliarity with the platform will not be accepted as an excuse for any problem.
Equipment Checkout
Video Cameras, Microphones, Portable Audio Recorders, Tripods, and learning materials such as DVD’s and books are available from the lab attendants.
Checkout Rules:
- Take care of the equipment. If you are unsure how to use something, ask Professor Terry or one of the lab attendants.
- Return the equipment on time personally to a lab attendant or your check out privileges may be revoked for up to 2 weeks.

- You may not take equipment off campus without prior permission of the professor.
- See lab attendants for other requirements.
