Attendance
Attendance at productions scheduled for your section is also required. Absence from a scheduled production, either your's or that of another student where you have a crew assignment, can result in a full letter reduction in you final grade.
Failure to participate in the productions scheduled outside regular class section without having obtained prior permission from the instructor earns you no credit for that assignment. Failure to receive credit will adversely impact on your final grade.
Attendance at the final exam is required!!!Grading
Twenty-five percent of your final grade will be determined by your tests and the final exam.
Seventy-five percent of your course grade will be determined by your two productions, your participation in other class productio ns, and your participation in the on-going operation of WNCP-TV.Text

in length (give or take one second). You will be furnished with studio
time and equipment, crew, actors, tape, and so forth. You must furnish
the creativity, direction, and scripting. All scripts should be approved
by the instructor no less than one full class session prior to production.4. Instructor
