In addition to lectures and discussions during the class meetings, assigned readings will aid you in learning the material covered in this course.  Assignments will be made from the following required texts:

Herbert Zettl:  Television Production Handbook.  Tenth Edition.  Belmont, CA:  Wadsworth/Cengage Learning, 2009.

Herbert Zettl:  Zettl's VideoLab 3.0.   Third Edition.  DVD-ROM.  Thomson/Wadsworth, 2004.

As the DVD is referenced in assigned readings, students are expected to access the disc's complimentary information, practice its related skills simulations, and complete its accompanying exercises. Readings and activities should be completed prior to the class date for which they are assigned.  There may also be items on reserve in the Hekman Library which will require your attention throughout the term.

This class will usually meet in Room 065 of the DeVos Communication Center, Wednesday and Friday from 1:30 p.m. - 3:20 p.m.. 

The following should be interpreted as a general timetable governing the subjects to be covered in this course. Class discussion and pace often dictate additions, deviations, and omissions.

A crew roster for each show is available here.
