Our textbook lessons form a key part of the class. Students will work through the various lessons, both during and outside of class. Lessons must be completed in time to prepare for the quizzes scheduled during the final half of each Wednesday class period. Out-of-class projects are based on the skills learned in the lessons.
Opening and saving lessons
Important: Before beginning each lesson, you must mount the virtual disk. Final Cut Pro X automatically saves every keystroke, so you do not need to worry about saving the files.
I will periodically check the completed lessons in your folder. In these cases, the following applies:
Partially completed lessons or lessons finished within one week after the due date will earn half a point; Missing lessons, lessons completed more than one week after their due date, or substantially incomplete lessons will earn zero points.
