Everyone should now have card access to W123, W121 and W112.
Please let me know if it ain't working.
Now that we've gotten our hands a bit dirty, we're ready to get into the Max tutorials.
The max tutorials come with the MaxMSP installer which we got in class from here.
There are two components:
1. A folder full of tutorial patches; download the zip file to your hard drive, double click on it to unzip it and get the folder.
2. A PDF file that describes all the patches.
Your assignment, due Monday Sep. 17th 2007, is to study Tutorials 1-26. This means, for every tutorial patch, you open the patch with MaxMSP/Jitter, open the PDF file and find the corresponding entry for the patch you're studying, play with the patch, read about the patch in the PDF, if there is anything you don't get, post a comment to this blog entry.
If you can't get the files for whatever reason, you can also find everyting on our class server:
afp://artserve.cla.umn.edu/momeni1/Installers/MaxMSP/Documentation/
Our TA Chris just turned me on to a supposedly underused branch of CLA called the CLA Office of Information Technology (CLA-OIT).
Namely, among other things, they offer loaner laptops for graduate students in CLA. So for those of you wanting a newish fastish laptop, check it!

NOt so sure about the catagories, i will take a guess and say course info. Please let me know if i made a huge mistake.
We have an file server at the address:
afp://artserve.cla.umn.edu
username: momeni1
password: ******** (same as ever)
folder: momeni1
Within that folder, we have a folder for each week.
Attendance and participation in the course is required and unexcused absences may result in failure. The overall grading scheme is based on a case-by-case evaluation of each student's growth and progress. As I expect a wide range of backgrounds and degrees of proficiency with software, I shall make every effort to evaluate each student based on their starting point and the motivation, effort, enthusiasm, time and energy that he/she contributes to the class.
Grading will be on a scale of 0-10:
9.5+=A; 9-9.4=A-; 8.5-8.9 =B+; 7.6-8.4 = B; 7-7.5=B-; 6.5-6.9 = C; 6-6.4=C-; 5-5.9=D; 0-4.9=F.
