Digital Cinema Workshop Information Site (Fall Quarter 2007-08)

Certain DC courses listed below, designated as entry level courses, will require additional introductory workshops.
These courses are:

• DC 205: Foundations in Digital Cinema
• DC 210: DC Production I
• DC 215: DC Sound Design
• DC 220: Non-linear Editing

One workshop is required for each of these courses.  Schedule and times are listed below.  There is no extra fee for these workshops.  The reason for the workshops is to bring students up to an even level regarding important background skills.  Students enrolled in the above courses have various skill levels as they begin the Digital Cinema program.  Students with sufficient prior skills can test out of the workshops (see note below).  Each workshop is conducted in a 90 minute session.  There will be 4-6 workshops available for each of the above courses.  You only need to sign up for one of these workshops.  If you have a problem with the scheduling of any of these workshops, please contact workshop coordinator, Paul Sisul, at psisul@cs.depaul.edu

How to Sign Up:

For your enrolled course, select the workshop code number (#101, #201, etc.) indicated under the DC course you are enrolled in.  Submit an email to psisul@cs.depaul.edu and request a reservation in that workshop.  Include your full name, course and workshop code in your email.  Indicate your first choice and second choice for workshop.  If none of the dates/times work for your schedule, email me with alternative dates/times.  Workshop schedule is somewhat flexible but you need to enroll as soon as possible to avoid problems late in the quarter.

Note:

If you believe you can test out of the workshop, indicate so in the email and arrangements will be made for a 20 question multiple-choice test.  A score of 75% or higher will exempt you from the particular workshop.  You can also request to be waived from this requirement if you have had previous DC or similar courses that have covered material itemized in the workshop content list at the bottom of each column.  This request can also be made by email.  Indicate the course or courses your have taken (or are currently taking) in your email.  The workshop coordinator will reply as to whether your request is granted.
