MCM course?

<p>I’m signing up for courses now, and I’m interested in one of the MCM courses, but it seems pretty intense…</p>

<p>MC0010: Introduction to Media
It’s Monday and Wednesday from 1-1:50, which is fine.
But then it says there is lab every Monday and Tuesday from 7-11.
And then there is about an hour-long conference one day a week.</p>

<p>Now that’s about 10 hours in-class for 1 course if I’m reading it correctly, not including all the homework/papers due throughout the semester.</p>

<p>Am I reading it correctly, or is this just one intense class that you have to deal with?</p>

<p>Yeah, a lot of MCM classes have long “labs” but depending on the class, those might be spent watching films, etc.</p>

<p>The “conference” means discussion section.</p>

<p>I’d say shop it and see what it’s like.</p>

<p>Thats no different then almost any science lab course.</p>

<p>It’s different because there are two “labs” a week.</p>

<p>That said, watching movies isn’t really comparable to a science lab</p>

<p>I’m asking because I was told of an MCM course that everyone LOVED and tried to get into, and at the end, everyone gave the professor a standing ovation. I thought it was one of the intro classes (pretty general intros) but I could be wrong. It seems like MC0010 isn’t necessarily that class, so does anyone know which class it could be? Or am I in a completely wrong department lol??</p>
