Going into the MEDP Prequisites felt like a waste of time, to be honest. With more elective credits than I can shake a stick at, I was goal oriented on every credit going towards something useful. However, upon completion of the year I found the work well spent. While I had some experience in the technologies utilized, it is always beneficial to have a solid grounding, a holistic experience in creating media. In the end Ive put out material I was proud of, and some not so much, but the peer-experience in making media together is not something to be overlooked. 


I would have preferred a more portfolio oriented assignment distribution, where we receive all the project handouts at the beginning of the year. Periodic dates throughout the semester are when students must show their lab instructor that they've done SOME work towards the project, but in general everything is due and reviewed at the end of the year. While this takes more self-discipline, I felt myself sort of stunted in some aspects waiting to see what the next assignment would be. I realize the grading timeframe is still somewhat similar 


My other request is that the F&M dept. remove all references to the old media production classes(151 & 161) that MEDP150 & 160 have replaced. It was confusing at first because different sources said different things about requirements and prereqs.
