What comes first
dibs has no class page for WL ARTS 183, in any term it holds, that it can state prerequisites from, so it cannot say what comes before it. A page read while a class still reads Tentative does not count.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
From the registrar's catalog
Studio, three hours. Preparation: original script to revise and with which to work. Students watch, critique, and create video essays and essay films. Weekly screenings and readings guide discussions about the visual techniques of storytelling and the art of translating social and cultural theory to screen. Weekly assignments guide students in experimental revisions, sound collage, and video editing. Students are encouraged to use any combination of media montage, found footage, animation, photography, or other visuals in their editing process. P/NP or letter grading.
