Fall 2019 Course Syllabi

Late Work: The photography and art worlds work on strict deadlines, therefore it is important to develop the habit of turning work in on time. In the work world, if you miss a deadline, you get fired. IN THIS CLASS, YOU WILL LOSE ONE FULL LETTER GRADE FOR EVERY DAY THE ASSIGNMENT IS LATE, AND LATE WORK MAY NOT BE RE-DONE FOR A BETTER GRADE. Final Portfolios: The majority of your final grade will be determined by your final portfolio. Your final portfolio will consist of 20-30 examples of your work from the trip. You will submit your portfolio to the online course shell within one week of returning to the US. You will print, mat, and frame a number of prints (to be determined later) to be hung in the Thatcher Hall Gallery Frames on the first and second floors of Thatcher Hall. Final grades: A final grade for the class is an assessment of what you have learned in the class for the entire semester. Because you are passionate about photography and have invested a great deal of money and time to go on this trip, I expect that everyone will earn an ‘A.’ Your final portfolio grade should match your final grade for the semester, as it is a reflection of what you learned for the semester. The exception would be late work. IF YOUR DAILEY ASSIGNMENT GRADES ARE LOW BECAUSE OF LATE WORK, RE-SHOOTING WILL NOT IMPROVE THE GRADE, AND THE LOWER GRADES WILL BE AVERAGED INTO YOUR FINAL PORTFOLIO GRADE. Grading Scale: A (90 – 100%) B (80 – 89%) C (70 – 79%) D (60 – 69%) F (below 60%) Critiques: Critiques are a crucial part of learning. During critiques, the instructor and students will offer feedback on your work. You are responsible for critiquing one of your own photos and one of your classmate’s photos each week. Critiques are due the following day after homework is due.
