You get introductions to stop-motion, rotoscoping and some other techniques. You get to experiment with some of them in class and you also get introductions to using After Effects in your tutorial.
It's not a very heavy reading course. There's a group presentation you have to do based off readings, but it's not that bad. Most of the theory you'd probably get through the techniques you learn.
There were 3 projects we did. 2 was group projects and one was individual, I believe. You basically are given a topic for your projects and execute an animation of it and it's fairly open, so you can almost do any animation you learned. A majority of our class did stop-motion, but like I said, it's fairly open.
The last project is solo and a lot more work. Then again, if you're in multimedia, you have to do a lot in order to get a good grade.
At least, that's what it was for my class.
