Co-requisite: MMART 129L Recommended Preparation: MMART We are changing prerequisites to
130/130L recommended preparation on the
courses listed.
After ten plus years of experience in
offering our Multimedia programs, it is
clear to us that the prerequisites for
MMART have been drawn too
narrowly by only indicating our own
specific courses as acceptable. In
addition, the students have difficulty
challenging the prerequisites because
of the lack of clear course
substitutions at other institutions.
Given the growth of multimedia/
computer skills in the population over
the last ten years, students do, for the
most part, possess the necessary
entry skills. Therefore, it makes sense
to convert the prerequisites to
recommended preparation as a
guideline to students rather than a
barrier to enrollment. If or when
problems arise, our past experiences
have shown that they can be easily
handled through a discussion
between the individual student and
instructor.
