2. Start with next art or design courses from degree plan sheet, work­ing in gen eds and HPE in as avail­able. These are spe­cific to each year. Please use the year you came to ORU, This can be found in Vision
3. If you have a cus­tom degree plan cre­ated by one of us, please use it. Let us know if we have questions.
4. Remem­ber many courses are taught fall or spring, even or odd years, or on a rota­tion only (see PDF).
5. Please plan ahead as many semes­ters as possible.
6. Write CRN num­bers down as well as course num­ber and title, which makes it eas­ier to remem­ber which sec­tion you want.

Meeting summary for Jason Howell’s Personal Meeting Room (03÷04÷2024)

Quick recap

Jason stressed the impor­tance of proper course reg­is­tra­tion and adher­ence to the degree plan. He high­lighted the neces­sity of tak­ing cer­tain classes accord­ing to the degree plan and the poten­tial for stu­dents to earn credit for intern­ships. He also dis­cussed the pos­si­bil­ity of teach­ing a crib mak­ing class and the impor­tance of apply­ing to grad­u­ate. Addi­tion­ally, he empha­sized the need for 24-hour notice for appoint­ments and the require­ment of cer­tain classes depend­ing on the degree plan.

Summary

Group Check-in Discussed

Jason referred to a group check-in, pos­si­bly linked to a quiz, and men­tioned the use of a QR code for sign-ups.

Degree Plan Importance and Class Rotation Reminder

Jason stressed the impor­tance of fol­low­ing the degree plan for stu­dents to grad­u­ate on time and avoid extra costs. He high­lighted that graphic design majors should take classes in a spe­cific three-year rota­tion, with the 335 class being a pri­or­ity for the fall. Addi­tion­ally, he reminded stu­dents that dig­i­tal pho­tog­ra­phy is only offered once per semes­ter and should be taken accord­ing to their degree plan.

Academic Topics and Future Plans

Jason dis­cussed var­i­ous aca­d­e­mic top­ics dur­ing the meet­ing. He talked about sum­mer school options avail­able for stu­dents, espe­cially those who are trans­fers, and the process involved in earn­ing credit for intern­ships. He also men­tioned the impor­tance of the BFA. Port­fo­lio Review for graphic design majors and the require­ment of cer­tain classes depend­ing on the degree plan. Jason empha­sized the need for junior and senior stu­dents to apply to grad­u­ate and the ini­ti­a­tion of a new degree in game design and devel­op­ment, which will be a col­lab­o­ra­tive effort with math and com­put­ing depart­ments, set to launch in the fall of 2024.

Summer Printmaking Class Consideration

Jason con­sid­ered teach­ing a print­mak­ing class in the sum­mer’s first ses­sion, from May 6 through 24. The class would run for approx­i­mately 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks, focus­ing on basic mer­chan­dise. Jason needs a min­i­mum of 5 stu­dents to make it viable. The class could count as an art elec­tive for a degree.

Course Registration

Reg­is­tra­tion was slated to begin on Sun­day, March 10th at 10 o’clock at night, with seniors given priority.

Importance of Course Registration and Planning

Jason stressed the impor­tance of proper course reg­is­tra­tion and adher­ence to the degree plan. He advised stu­dents to pri­or­i­tize their classes and plan ahead, espe­cially for those inter­ested in study­ing abroad. Jason high­lighted the need to main­tain focus on their stud­ies and avoid last-minute deci­sions. He also empha­sized the require­ment of 24-hour notice for appoint­ments to avoid errors and ensure timely grad­u­a­tion. Finally, Jason dis­cussed the sched­ule of classes and rota­tions that had been emailed to the atten­dees and empha­sized that the sched­ule is meant to assist with planning.

Class Schedule, Topography, and Email Orders

Jason dis­cusses the impor­tance of hav­ing Mr. Kim in the class and rec­om­mends using a block sched­ule for smoother com­mu­ni­ca­tion. He also talks about typog­ra­phy, which is his per­sonal spe­cialty in graphic design. The team dis­cusses send­ing orders via email and men­tions that some changes have been made. The meet­ing ends with a call to adjourn, and Jason thanks the team for their sup­port and wishes them a good day.

Next steps

• Graphic design majors should take classes on their 3‑year rota­tion as sched­uled on their degree plan.
• Jason will con­sider teach­ing a screen print­ing class in the sum­mer.
