MUS 5: Sound in Time (History of Contemporary Music)
Section Lectures
This course covers important theories and techniques of music developed over time.
Emphasis is given to music of the 20th and 21st centuries, especially electroacoustic and computer music. My main goals as a teaching assistant are to help you gain an
appreciation for sound both as a physical phenomenon and an artistic medium, strengthen your ability to write about music, and build your confidence as
musicians. In the section lectures, we will cover techniques for completing the writing assignments, performances, and composition exercises.
No previous musical background is required. (UCSD Seal: By Source, Fair use, wikipedia.org).

MUS 15: Popular Music (Video Game Music)
Section Lectures
This course is an overview of music composition techniques for video games and other interactive media. It includes
weekly main lectures and weekly section lectures. The section lectures reinforce concepts and terminology from the main lectures, review
technology skills essential for composing video game music, and provide opportunities to receive individualized instruction and
collaborate with other students. As time permits, we will discuss advanced topics in video game music, including game
audio middleware, physics-based sound synthesis, and music composition using artificial intelligence. No previous musical background is required.

SCI 1100: General Physics
Main Lectures
This is a survey course covering fundamental concepts of physics. General topics include kinematics,
fluids, thermodynamics, electronics, and modern physics. There are no prerequisites for this course; however, a basic
understanding of algebra and geometry is assumed. The course is designed to help you understand basic concepts of physics, learn
what science is and how it advances, and gain an appreciation for how physics is relevant to you as an artist. We will use the
text How Things Work: The Physics of Everyday Life by Louis A. Bloomfield, 3rd Edition.

PHY 113: General Physics I
Laboratory Sessions
This course is an overview of Newtonian mechanics. In the laboratory sessions, we will put certain laws of
physics to the test by collecting data relating to these laws, analyzing the data with mathematical
relationships, and presenting our data in a scientific report. Topics covered include measurement, scientific
error, mass, acceleration, force, circular motion, energy, torque, fluid mechanics, simple harmonic motion,
and wave propagation. (WFU Seal: By Source, Fair use, wikipedia.org).
