Spring 2019 Course Syllabi

Hybrid Course A hybrid course combines online, on campus, and video conferencing education. When you enroll in a DCB Photography course, you automatically have all three options available to you. Whether you live on campus, or on the other side of the world. ONLINE – The online classes are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You may log on at any time and watch recorded lectures, interact in discussions, and turn in and view homework assignments. Online students can complete the entire program without ever coming to campus. Online students are required to own, or have access to, all of the equipment needed to complete the courses. The equipment list is available in the online classroom, or from your instructor. On Campus – On campus students live on campus, or in the area of Bottineau, ND. You will meet in the photography classroom during scheduled meetings times for classes. The same as you would for any other on campus class. Lectures will be done live via telecommunications. The studio manager/teaching assistant will be in the classroom to assist the students and maintain the technology. On campus students will have access to all of the camera gear needed to complete the courses, however it is recommended that photography majors purchase their own cameras as soon as possible after entering the program, if they don’t already have a camera. Photography Lab - Along with scheduled lecture times, on campus students will also be required to attend photography lab hours. These hours are obtained by photographing college activities and events and assisting the campus photographer on photoshoots. Hands-on Learning – The photography instructor will be on campus one week per month and will lead a hands-on photo shoot project each day. On campus students are required to attend these projects, along with the regularly scheduled lectures as part of their photography lab hours. Why Hybrid – The hybrid courses offer a great deal of flexibility and options to the photography students. Lectures - With the hybrid courses, online students will now have the option of joining in on the live lectures via telecommunications, while the on campus students will now have access to all of the online recorded lectures to use when needing a refresher. Homework – All homework, whether an online or on campus student, will be turned in online. This allows for more interaction and learning
