New Curriculum -- Com 315

One of the most exciting new features of the new curriculum is COM 315, a 1 credit workshop on software you need to know. Fall term we will offer COM 315 in video editing, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, InDesign, and Powerpoint.

The workshops run on Friday evening and Saturday. (Check Safari for which weekends for which section.) You should plan to sign up for the one that matches the course you're taking that term: for instance, if you're taking Publication Design or are a new Observer editor, you should plan to take InDesign this fall. If you're in Com 306 you should take Photoshop and/or Dreamweaver.

These workshops are taught by faculty who use the programs regularly. Instead of a textbook, we will be using lynda.com, one of the best sites for tutorials.

These credits can be used as elective credits in the new curriculum.
