The last thing I do before class ends is this. I look back on if I met my goals for the period
a) lab time b) instruction time c)reflections
reflections
It's the end of class and I see that there is a pair of headphones on the floor. What should I do
pick them up and put them away
You put these over your ears to listen to your tracks. These are different than the earbuds at home because they have a "flat frequency response".
Headphones
specifically monitor headphones
At the start of the period someone grabs a bin of these from the lounge, then everyone grab ones.
At the end of the period, everyone wraps up the cord and puts these back in the bin.
Sounds good, right?
headphones
I'm not sure how I am doing in this class or if Mr. Slowik got my projects and was able to grade them.
What should I do
Look up my grade on Canvas
Ask Mr. Slowik
I use this kind of website or software to compose and produce tracks, songs, and other audio.
