Response to Doug
Hey all,
In 2003 there were two intro. courses for electronics - one ran in the fall and the second ran in the winter. They both had good enrolment numbers. I agree that an over enrolled intro. class in electronics leads to greater attrition in the upper year levels - this should be avoided. In terms of thinking about curriculum - we need to remember first-year -- this is crucial in terms of overall numbers in INTM (students choosing their major and moving into second year) as well as conceptualizing the "flow" of information between year levels. Introducing first-year students to our studios here at 100 McCaul will help to define what INTM has to offer.

I've really being trying to promote INTM to my 1st year students. When they excel, I say - you're really excelling at this - perhaps you should consider an INTM major... or if students seem to be enjoying a class, again I'll give INTM a plug. Yes this is fun, and you can do more of this if you major in INTM...
I think students often have poor experiences using digital tools creatively, and perhaps we have to compensate by underlining the fun they have in this course, and how it may change their objectives at OCAD... how digital media can be as friendly and intuitive as conte pencil for example. I often make this kind of comparison.
