OTHER MATERIALS
We will be working regularly with audio and video files, possibly in a packed computer lab, so you will need a pair of headphones preferably with ear cups—ear buds may not be sufficient.  You should also purchase at least one 8GB (or, preferably, larger) flash drive for backups and moving files.
