Final Portfolios:
You are expected to shoot images,
perform all lab work, and final presentation. Students who use other students’
prints or files without attribution are guilty of cheating and will be referred
to the Associate Dean for further action, and fail the class. Final portfolios
consist of 15-20 matted or mounted prints, printed to your highest
standards. Portfolio may include
assignments, may be thematic, or may just have 15 of your best images. All prints should be ready for
presentation. All prints must be in
something that resembles a folder or case.
No trash bags or loose prints please.
Label all mats on rear with your name and class.
Attendance policy:
Students are expected to attend
all classes, in case of medical excuse, students are responsible for supplying
documentation to faculty. Excessive
absence (five unexcused) will result in
lowering of grade, one letter and seven unexcused, failure of class
entirely. Students should plan on
arriving to class on time. Excessive tardiness will result in a lowering of the
final grade.
Grading:
Work will be graded in two parts,
1) craft and technique, which refer to camera handling skills, and print
quality and 2) concept and creative solution to assignment problem.
Final grade comprised of the
following guidelines:
25%
assignment
25%
attendance and class participation
50%
final portfolio
Grade values:
A+, A, A-: Superior
work and effort. This grade level is for those who demonstrate and maintain
strong, creative concepts, intellectual curiosity, focused work ethic, and
courage to push beyond safe limits. They produce work consistently, and create
technically and conceptually excellent work that is innovative and resolved.
They actively participate in critiques, and show a high level of independence
and motivation facilitating the studio community and their education.
B+, B, B-: Very
good work and effort. This grade implies above average work,
participation/citizenship
and demonstrates an effort beyond expectations to discovery in the process of
developing a solid studio practice. The B student works hard but struggles with
technique and process; or has good conceptual goals but does not put forth
substantial skill/effort to communicate them effectively.
The B range student
may be doing minimal outside research to develop ideas but makes use of the
faculty/peer suggestions and dialogue.
C+, C, C-: Average
work and effort. This grade indicates good attendance, completion of ideas, and
some extra work. Adequate time spent in studio. The C student struggles with
resolving projects in a coherent manner, or may struggle with the development
of a consistent and rigorous studio practice. Their participation and
initiative in critique settings and seminar is minimal, and they often fail to
initiate peer/faculty feedback.
D+, D, D-:
Unsatisfactory work. Often, these grades are earned through poor attendance,
late work or not following directions.
F: Failing work.
Digital Etiquette:
This should go without saying, but let’s say it anyway: you should
turn off your cell-phone and/or other devices (iPods, etc) before you enter the
classroom. If your phone rings once during class this semester, we’ll all laugh
and I’ll ask you to turn it off. If your phone rings again during class this
semester, we’ll need to have a talk.
I understand that your phones connect you with your friends and
family, but the classroom should be a place apart, however briefly, from the
outside world. You will learn more, in short, if you can concentrate on the
class while you’re in class. If you’re really into your phone to that extent,
consider taking my class being scheduled for Spring 2015 “Cell Phones, Snapshots and the Social Network”, it’ll all be about
the mobile device and making art.
