MRAT 6650 Enrollment Request Instructions
Overview Enrollment in MRAT 6650, Final Project, requires
providing the information requested below. This includes an outline
of tasks to be accomplished during the semester and a timeline for
the completion of each task. Information about how and when you
will be meeting with your advisor during the semester is required
for enrollment. Have the form signed by your primary project
advisor and return it to the MFA office for final approval by the
MFA Director. A POD will be entered and you will be contacted by
email that you may log-on to Pipeline and enroll. Enrollment
Request Guidelines Format
Limited to two (2) double spaced pages Font size = 12 point,
Times or Times New Roman Enrollment request must be double-spaced
with 1 inch margins in all directions
SECTIONS Abstract: The abstract summarizes in one or two short
paragraphs the intended creative work to be done during the current
semester. It should provide an overview of the work to be
undertaken and specify what will be created and/or
accomplished.
Outline of Activities: Provide a list of what specific tasks you
intend to complete during the semester. Your grade for the semester
will be based on how well you achieved your goals.
Facilities: If you will be using university facilities this
semester you need to submit your request to Mr. Mr. Crabtree who
will want to know what facilities you are requesting and how many
hours in each room. He will also want to know what you are going to
do during each session, so bring a printed copy of each session
with the information about what will be done during that session.
(For example, Studio A, 8 hours, tracking bass and drums for two
songs.) You will have to justify each session, though we will
attempt to be sure you have adequate time to complete necessary
work. YOUR PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF SESSIONS SHOULD BE DISCUSSED AND
WORKED OUT WITH YOUR FACULTY ADVISOR BEFORE SEEING MR CRABTREE. If
you will not be using university facilities, create an outline
enumerating each task and when it will be completed. It is likely
you may need to submit both a facilities request and create a
separate outline listing other tasks not related to the
facilities.
Activities Log: Maintain a weekly log of all activities related
to your project. This will be a guide in preparing your final
report at the end of the semester and will constitute one means of
evaluating your work.
Scheduled Meetings with Advisor: Include a calendar of projected
meetings with the faculty advisor or the means by which you will
receive feedback during the semester. Be as specific as possible.
Provide your activities log to your advisor at each meeting.
-
Communication with your advisor is essential to receiving a
satisfactory grade. This communication is important throughout the
entire project but is particularly important in the early stages.
This may involve discussing problems that arise, creative choices,
listening to tracks early in the process, etc. You will not wish to
reach the end of the semester only to find your advisor is not
satisfied with some of your basic tracks and expects them to be
re-recorded. A final project is expected to reflect excellence, not
merely completion.
SUBMISSION OF MATERIALS
1st Semester of Enrollment in Final Project
One copy of all completed work and a written report are to be
delivered to your advisor one week before the last class day of the
semester in which the student is registered for the course. Any
submissions after these deadlines may result in a delay in
reporting your final grade. Completed work may include CDs, DVDs,
Pro Tools sessions or other appropriate media. All materials should
be clearly and professionally labeled. For audio projects include
documentation that conforms to the Session Documentation standards
provided by NARAS. (http://www.soundcurrent.com/PTGuidelines.pdf)
Reference the Session Documentation Examples. In the most
appropriate format submit any other documentation you have compiled
during the course of your project. Enclose all materials in a
clearly labeled, professional portfolio. (Your advisor may have an
alternate format for submission of our session documentation.) In
addition to documentation compiled during your project, include a
formal written paper. Paper should be typed, double-spaced, use
12-point font, and be paginated with one-inch margins. The report
should outline the original goals for the semester and how well
they were met. Problems encountered and solutions applied should be
included. Submit this report and supporting media materials to the
faculty project advisor. If you enroll in Final Project in more
than two semesters (3-3-3, for example) use the first semester
submission guidelines for all but the final semester in which you
enroll in Final Project.
Final Semester of Enrollment in Final Project
Four (4) copies of all completed work and a written report are
due one week before the last class day of the semester in which the
student is registered for the course. Any submissions after these
deadlines may result in a delay in reporting your final grade. This
could delay the receipt of your diploma if this is your last
semester. Completed work may include CDs, DVDs, Pro Tools sessions
or other appropriate media. All materials should be clearly and
professionally labeled. For audio projects include documentation
that conforms to the Session Documentation standards provided by
NARAS. (http://www.soundcurrent.com/PTGuidelines.pdf) Reference the
Session Documentation Examples. In the most appropriate format
submit any other documentation you have compiled during the course
of your project. Enclose all materials in a clearly
-
labeled, professional portfolio. . (Your advisor may have an
alternate format for submission of our session documentation.) All
documentation and media materials should be submitted to the
faculty project advisor and the other two committee members. The
fourth copy of all project materials should be submitted the MFA
office and will be retained in the department archive of final
projects.
In addition to documentation compiled during your project,
include a formal written. Paper should be 12-15 pages, typed,
double-spaced, use 12-point font, and be paginated with one-inch
margins. This report is separate from whatever documentation you
plan to submit with your project and the NARAS documentation, and
may freely draw from that documentation. The report should address
the following topics in separate identifiable sections:
I. If a recorded project, include a critical analysis of the
tracks, which should be very specific regarding the creation of
actual content (critiquing the musical performance, technical
problems and solutions, interpersonal relations, etc.) and
assessing the quality and suitability of the recorded tracks for
the specified purpose.
II. Discuss recording/production methodologies and provide an
analysis of the hallmarks of the music/sound.
III. Analysis of the final mix or mixes by describing both the
process and providing a critical analysis of the final results.
IV. Learning Outcomes (what was learned through this
process)
