GCM 240
Material Science for Print
This course introduces students to the science of materials, including paper, ink, toners and other materials used in the printing industry. Tests are conducted for printability, runability and end-use properties. Students learn how to interpret observations and raw data, and through various testing protocols, learn how to meaningfully report results, and make evidence-based recommendations. Students learn how to collaborate with clients, designers and printers to select the best materials for a printing project.

- Not Birdy

- Useful
Grade based off of 3 written assignments, attendance, midterm, final, and a quiz for calculating the weight of paper. Midterm and quiz were both online, final had formulas provided. Overall not very difficult, the professor wants students to learn and succeed and learned a lot about different paper properties by doing all the tests for it myself. Make sure you pick a good lab partner at the beginning as you will be working with them for the first two assignments and saying that one of you did even slightly more work will result in one of you having a much higher grade.
