>1A. Did your program (or project)include Art? (delete what doesn't apply)
>(Major emphasis)
>
>1B. If yes, how was Art included in your program (or project)?
>It was the product of learning a great deal of advanced technique for
>digital sound synthesis.
>---------------------------------------------------------------------
>2A. Did your program (or project) include Science and/or Mathematics?
>(Minor emphasis)
>
>2B. If yes, how was Science and/or Mathematics included in your program (or
>project)?
>Math is a key part of granular synthesis, the sound synthesis technique
>which was my focus.  Things like working out grain lengths and grain cloud
>density to figure out the rate grains repeat and thus the overlap tone they
>create.

>5A. Did your program(or project) include quantitative reasoning?
>(Minor emphasis)
>
>5B. If yes, how was quantitative reasoning included in your program(or
>project)?
>As previously mentioned in the math section, I would have to apply math to
>find out what sort of tone I was generating and how it needed to be
>adjusted.

>6A. Did your program(or project) include writing?
>(Major emphasis)
>
>6B. If yes, how was writing included in your program(or project)?
>I wrote about every variable to be used in granular synthesis, how they
>were implemented in the various compositions written for class, how
>granular synthesis relates to the writing of Karlheinz Stockhausen, and I
>wrote a basic Flash animation explaining the concept of granular synthesis.

>7A. Did you use technology to present work, conduct research (including
>library research), or solve problems?
>(Major emphasis)
>
>7B. If yes, how did you do so?
>Well, digital audio work naturally occurs on computers.  All of my work is
>presented on the internet, and Macromedia Flash is used for an animation
>explaining granular synthesis.

>---------------------------------------------------------------------
>8A. Did your program(or project) include activities designed to promote
>critical thinking?
>(Minor emphasis)
>
>8B. If yes, how were such activities included in your program(or project)?
>One element of this project is the explaination of granular synthesis, and
>that I feel promotes critical thinking.

>9A. Did your program(or project) make an effort to address racism, sexism,
>classism, or other forms of oppression?
>(No emphasis)
>
>9B. If yes, what strategies or activities did you(or your faculty team)use
>that worked well?

>10A. Were there opportunities for you to do advanced work in this
>program(or project)?
>(Major emphasis)
>
>10B. If yes, please elaborate…
>I was left to my own devices and allowed to work at my own pace without
>having to explain entirely what I was doing.  This allowed for full
>immersion in my subject and allowing me to reach some quite advanced levels
>of work.

>This information is needed for ongoing assessment of our Evergreen
>curriculum. Your participation is extremely important and appreciated. The
>results of this end-of-program survey will be used to help describe
>Evergreen's work to accreditors and Board of Trustees, share innovative
>practices among faculty and staff, provide useful feedback to faculty and
>planning units, and suggest faculty development interests and resource
>needs. This program review is one part of a multifaceted approach to
>assessing teaching and learning at Evergreen.
