Every SemesterNote:
Adapted from an earlier version of the course, AS3247 Intro to Video & TV, which can continue to count in the same category for existing Media majors. The new level is better suited to our emerging sequencing structure (based on our Five Year Review), and will appeal to incoming FY students. Adjustments to assignments and expectations make it suitable for a 2000-level course.
