Our Motto: 'Get it done first. Make it better later."
At today's Intro to Electronic Music class it turned out that the majority of students were not ready to play back their projects when they were due at the start of the period. This brings up several important issues:
  • If you are almost done when I get to your workstation you can ask me to hear it on my "second pass" around the room. This only works if you are nearly finished.
  • If you aren't ready on the "second pass," it becomes your responsibility to let me know when it is finished.
  • There are grade reductions for projects that are turned in late.
  • It is always better to finish a simple and basic project than to not finish a potentially astounding complex project. (Unfinished projects rarely astound me... :-)
  • "Get it done first. Make it better later" means make your goal the timely completion of a project that meets basic assignment requirements. (Or, "Get it done my the deadline. Make it better if you have extra time.")
