Come prepared
Bring your work on a USB stick, hard drive, or upload it to an easily accessible location (Youtube, vimeo, or similar platform)
- Make sure the video is compatible with Mac - Can be opened by Quicktime or VLC
- Do not bring your computers to plug in or upload your work to locations that require a LOGIN/PW
- Why? We have limited time between transitions, so it needs to be plug and play!
Other things to bring
- A pencil + paper to take notes
- A water bottle to keep yourself hydrated
- Snacks incase you need a pick-me-up during the breaks
Be on time - If you are late, do not disrupt the crit by walking in. Wait for the break between groups to enter the room.
No phones - If i see a phone once, its a warning, but multiple repeats and you will start losing points on your critique engagement score. If you absolutely need to take an emergency phone call, excuse yourself from the room quietly.
Bathroom breaks - Avoid needing to use the bathroom in the middle of active crit time. Use the bathroom before/after class or during the break to avoid disrupting the crits.
