Winter 2024 - Where to begin? First off, this class does not need to be almost three hours long, and the content prepared for the lecture painfully reflects this. There is no clear direction the course moves in as the weeks go by making it very difficult to be motivated to go to lecture in the first place. This wouldn't be a problem if attendance wasn't made mandatory in the second half of the quarter. The specific lecture that she made clear was mandatory ended with nearly an hour of "free time" to work on an assignment that was due later in the week. Besides making everyone come in to effectively twiddle their thumbs, the assignment in question involved the use of audio editing which makes no sense to do in a classroom environment. Overall this experience felt disrespectful to the class's time, especially considering this was during midterms. As mentioned by another commenter, the feedback for the final assignment fell behind resulting in many students receiving less time than they anticipated to complete the assignment. The feedback in regards to the audio quality came off at best as misguided and at worst as completely uninformed which is surprising considering the professor supposedly has a degree in audio engineering. Highlighting this would be asinine inferences about recording methods and signal processing that come across as uninformed to anyone who knows what they're talking about relating to audio. The nonrecording feedback doesn't fare much better either as oftentimes there were suggestions to do things that were already done, but at least here the professor demonstrates an understanding of story flow and journalistic editing. In short, AVOID THIS CLASS.
