NCSA Lighting Fundamentals

PRODUCTION (DEP100) AND NUTCRACKER

This class provides the lighting crew for the term’s productions.  Each student will be assigned to the crew of at least one production during the term.  The student’s performance on the lighting crew will be the primary determining factor for the student’s grade for Production.  In the Fall term of Lighting Fundamentals, the lighting crew for the production of Nutcracker during Intensive Arts (DEP599) will be assigned in addition to other productions. 

NOTE:  Students assigned to the Nutcracker crew are on the crew of Nutcracker as part of their Production grade for the Fall.  Therefore students will be available on this crew from the Friday after Thanksgiving until the Tuesday morning after the load-out of the show.  Students will also be required to fill out Production Evaluations for the Nutcracker in addition to their other P.E.

website and information conflicts

The instructor will attempt to keep accurate information on the website: www.stagetechnician.com/ncsa.  However, at no time should the information on the website be considered as up to date as class lectures.  If students have information from any source that conflicts with the instructor’s in class lectures, they are encouraged to discuss the disparity in class.

incomplete grades and late assignments:

Students are expected to complete all work as assigned for the class on time.  If, due to extenuating circumstances, a student is unable to comply with this requirement, he/she may request a make-up time to complete missed practicum, quizzes and/or exams.  Further, if a student attending and participating in class regularly is unable to perform satisfactorily in practicum and/or on quizzes and exams, he/she may request additional assistance from the instructor.  If, despite extra effort, the student is unable to complete the assignments satisfactorily, he/she may request an incomplete or “I.”  An incomplete allows the student one extra term to complete the course satisfactorily or the grade is automatically converted to an “F.”

Student Responsibility for Coursework:

In submitting assignments and projects for courses, students take responsibility for their work as a whole, and imply that, except as properly noted, the ideas, words, material and craftsmanship are their own. In written work, if students cite from a source of information or opinion other than themselves without giving credit, either within the body of their texts or in properly noted references and without using quotation marks where needed, or otherwise fail to acknowledge the borrowings, they have in fact presented the work, words or ideas of others as if they were their own. Failure to abide by those simple principles of responsible scholarship is dishonest, as is receiving or giving aid on tests, examinations or other assigned work presumed to be independent or original. A student whose work is found to be dishonestly accomplished and submitted as his or her own for credit will be removed from the course with a grade of “F.”

NC School of the Arts policy on working with students with disabilities:

In compliance with the NC School of the Arts policy and equal access laws, I am available to discuss appropriate academic accommodations that may be required for students with disabilities. Requests for academic accommodations are to be made during the first three weeks of the trimester, except for unusual circumstances, so arrangements can be made. Students are encouraged to register with the Officer for Student Disabilities to verify their eligibility for appropriate accommodations.
