However, a fair number of students have no previous familiarity
with the Mac OS, Photoshop, scanning and related software, which
complicates the pace at which the class can proceed. The nature
of our curriculum and scheduling constraints make it difficult to
require pre-requisites beyond the required core courses.
Consequently, a teaching assistant to help in quality control, and
in the provision of additional technical support in lab sessions,
would be extremely desirable for all.
