FCPX Post Test Study Guide

With the second grading period drawing rapidly to a close, it is time for our FCPX Post Test.  We've spent an entire quarter working on basic editing skills and fundamental concepts.  Multiple study guides have been posted over the course of the grading period.  Below, you'll find a link to the study guide.

Daily Broadcast Evaluation

The e-MAS team recently received a rating of OUTSTANDING from the industry professionals who partner with the ITV program of Polk county.  We had to  select a news show from a randomly drawn two week period to submit for evaluation.

Congratulations to all of the students involved in producing such a high quality broadcast!

Production Journal Make Up Assignment

The organizational requirements of my course have proven to be an unwelcome challenge to many of my students.  90% of failing ITV students owe their low grade to a failure to turn in the planning/evaluation graphic organizer after the broadcast of each news show.

My usual grading policy is to accept late work without penalty.  I find that this always leaves the door open to student success.   No student ever need give up hope because they've irreparably damaged their grade.  They simply need to do the work.  Assignments, quizzes, tests and projects are all designed to facilitate and support the overall learning process anyway so if they do the work and practice/assess the skill they've still accomplished what I intended... just not when I intended it.

This won't work with the production journal evaluations.  Asking a student to evaluate a show they worked on two months ago is impractical.  It would be difficult to recall specific details.  I anticipate two types of submissions if I follow normal protocol with these assignments: NO submission because students couldn't think of anything and FALSE submissions based upon imaginary or incomplete anecdotal musings.  Neither of these support the learning process.

My alternative is to offer an ALTERNATIVE ASSIGNMENT which provides students a chance to practice a skill we've already developed in class.  They will also need to utilize reference and research skills as well as writing for a specific audience.

Posted and linked below are the specifications for the alternative assignment.  STUDENTS MAY COMPLETE ONE REPLACEMENT ASSIGNMENT FOR EVERY MISSING PRODUCTION JOURNAL/EVALUATION and/or PRODUCTION PRODUCT GRADE.
