CLASS RULES
In order to be successful in my class, it is important to establish a few short rules and guidelines. These are not meant to discourage, but to make sure that students get the best experience possible.
DEADLINES
What You Should Know
Assignment and Project deadlines are designed to simulate real-word experiences. Project timelines, drafts, revisions, and final sign-off’s are emphasized to aid students’ understanding of real life productions.
FAIR USE POLICY
Keep in Mind
You are not prohibited to use all types of video content created by others. The Fair Use policy lets you use other source’s work within some limitations.
In the US, Section 107 of the Copyright Act identifies research, criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, and scholarship as examples of fair use of content.
So, if your video falls under these categories you might be able to reuse other’s content in it. However, legally speaking, it is still a matter of walking on eggshells since there are no concrete definitions within this clause.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Things to Remember
Attendance is critical as students will perform group assignments and projects, with individual responsibilities. During recording days, once the LED “On Air” light is visible (outside of the classroom door), no class entry will be allowed until the light is turned off. It is the responsibility of each student to follow proper channels of notifying teacher of late arrrivals.
EQUIPMENT
What You Should Know
No equipment is to be removed from the classroom, under any circumstance, without consent of the instructor.
