Lab Hours in Old Main 212
W 6-10pm
Th 6-10pm

Kimberly can help you with any questions you have about projects. Please take advantage of this opportunity to work on projects and to get extra help with concepts. You can use the OM 212 lab ANY TIME IT IS OPEN, but the lab assistants during other times are not able to assist you with our projects.

Equipment Checkout – We have several digital still cameras and DV camcorders for this class. Please contact me two days in advance if you want to check one out. The checkout timeframe is from one class period to the next (i.e. check out on Saturday, return the following Saturday), so plan your shoots accordingly. On the day you return a still camera, you must download your photos and delete them from the memory stick at the first available lab time and return the camera to the instructor. This is not applicable for camcorders, as you will be using your own tape. To reserve a camera for a specific date, email the instructor.

You MUST return the camera(s) in full working order on the following class period. It is important to respect other classmates’ needs to use the equipment. The instructor will accept no excuses. Failure to return the equipment on the next class period will result in an automatic reduction of 10% from your final course grade, and you will lose your equipment checkout privilege for the remainder of the semester.

You are responsible for the equipment that you check out. The university will charge your TX State account for the replacement value of any equipment that is missing due to loss, damage, theft or any other reason.
