Okay, don't cry....but...ummm.....

We don't have enough DVD's for everyone to burn their portfolio today, and we don't have any money in the Film account (see post below about how you never paid your fees), soooooo.....until I can buy some this weekend with my own money, I have to postpone your Portfolio deadline until Monday. It's not fair to make some people burn DVD's until I run out, then let everyone else off the hook.

Monday is a "C" Day, so you WILL be here, and you WILL burn your DVD at the start of class. Today's your last day to get me any missing assignments, and to finish editing/assembling your intro and portfolio.

p.s. don't tell anyone who's not reading the blog. let's mess with 'em. ;)

Because you don't have enough to worry about....

I've made a list of students who paid their $10 Materials Fee for the course this year (thanks!). Everyone else will have a $10 Fine attached to their account, which will hold up grades, registration, and...eventually...graduation.

Remember, this fee barely covers repairs (like the busted tripods, camera chargers, and boom poles I've been finding), SD Cards (which you keep losing), batteries (which you've used up), DVD's (again, all you) and printing supplies (which you've used all year).

We don't receive any money from the school to pay for this stuff, so it's all sustained by fees. I dare say, after 9 months in the class, you've gotten your $10 worth. If you pay the fee by Monday, I won't turn in the fine on your account. Otherwise, it will be a hold on your records.

Thanks for your help in making sure we can continue to offer a quality experience to our students.

Cuidando Projects, Edits Due

Cuidando Teams and Special Projects Editors,

I'll be coming around to visit with you today about your work. Projects are due. Now.

Portfolio Due on Friday

All,

Time to get shooting!

Your Final Portfolio, worth 2/3 of your Final Exam, is due on DVD this Friday.

Trust me when I say it will take all of Friday's class period to burn this DVD, and you won't have time on Friday to do any editing or compiling in iDVD.

To that end, I'll have the lab open during lunch this week any time someone requests it. That doesn't mean I'll hang out in here just in case you feel like dropping by; you must let me know when you plan to work during lunch.

I have multiple after-school appointments this week; do not goof off during class then ask me to stay after school. Won't happen.

Next Monday we'll review for your Final Exam. I'll post the exam schedule on the blog mid-week.
