I want to inform you of the first class meeting, which is scheduled for next MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH, 10:00 AM, in the small screening room, UCross #030. During the first meeting of the term, you are expected to pitch the story ideas you'll be working on for the next two terms. Please come to class with an idea you've thought about, to avoid wasting everyone's time. Those of you starting the cycle will pitch your ideas, get a little feedback, and get your marching orders. I will be holding everyone to a strict 5 minute time limit so we can get everyone taken care of.
We will also hear from students who are halfway through with their projects about their progress, so come prepared to talk.
Also, during the first meeting, I will do my best to answer all the questions you have about the class. However, here are couple of the most common questions and answers about the class:
Do we meet regularly? We will meet as a group approximately once a month. Between those times, you are free to meet with your individual instructors as much as you want.
What if I'm on co-op? Let me know you won't be able to make the first meeting.
How many pitches do I need for the first week? Just one. PItch what you want to write.
Who is my instructor? After you pitch your stories, I will assign students to the available SCRP instructors based on mutually beneficial areas of interest. You can expect some administrative shuffling during the first two weeks of class. If you're in the second term of the cycle, your instructor will be the same as your first term instructor.
Who do we talk to if we have other questions? Me. Just hit the reply key if it can't wait until Monday.
I know someone who wants to take the class, but the sections were filled. Have them e-mail me, and forward this e-mail to them so they can come tot he first class.
Clear and simple, right? Right. See everyone on Monday.
