All work must be digitally submitted to iLearn. Assessment submission guidelines are available in iLearn and will be outlined in classes.

While media files can be sourced from others' work, patches created in Max/MSP/Jitter should be original works, and any 'borrowed code' or media files should be appropriately attributed or referenced as you would in a formal written assignment.  Submission of work that is primarily copied from resources outside of content provided in the unit is subject to the same Academic Honesty Policy as written works.

Assessment marks are aligned with the university's grade descriptors.

Late Submission Penalty

Unless a Special Consideration request has been submitted and approved, (a) a penalty for lateness will apply – two (2) marks out of 100 will be deducted per day for assignments submitted after the due date – and (b) no assignment will be accepted more than seven (7) days (including weekends) after the original submission deadline. No late submissions will be accepted for timed assessments – e.g. quizzes, online tests.

Information is correct at the time of publication.

As MMCC8097 is a practice-based unit, students are expected to attend both hours of practical workshops which introduce new concepts each week and offer a space for students to put theory into practice. Workshops are designed to offer students practice-based learning with realtime support, and content delivered in class will not be repeated by other means such as via email or one-on-one consultation.

Prior knowledge of Max is not a requirement, however general computer literacy skills are assumed (creating files/folders, copying files etc).

Students are required to bring headphones to class each week, and to source/create their own media (music, sound, images, video) for assignments, assessments, and demonstrations/performances.  Students are encouraged to bring USB sticks or portable Hard Drives (not formatted as NTFS) to class to backup and store their work.

Readings and interactive exercises:

This unit is computer-focussed and practical in nature. A number of interactive readings and exercises will be available in the Max Help and Documentation and the in-built Max/MSP/Jitter tutorials within Max.  Other readings and extra curricular tasks will be disseminated via iLearn.

Classes start week 2.
