Class ends in a week....

Hi Everyone,

Just a reminder that the last day of this class is Friday, July 13th.  All work needs to be submitted by then.  Please take some time to review the week by week list of expectations linked in the upper right hand side of the blog.  Although it shows 8 weeks, we need to finish everything at the end of the 6th week.

I just called the ADP office and found out the deadline for withdrawals and incompletes is Tomorrow, July 6th.

The center of gravity for your grade is your creative work.  Each of the projects is designed to be a springboard for creative exploration on your part.  I need to see evidence that you are creatively interacting and having fun with a particular mode that week highlights.  Time is getting short.  I haven't seen anyone work with the week 3 project, "Scripts and Digital Painting" yet.  I only have 1 student out of 5 that has posted to fotothing.  There is a daily maximum for the free version.

From the rubric and the syllabus...

Academic Expectations:

Post at least twice a week to the class blog. Care about the quality as well as quantity of your creative work, help and collaborate with others in the class, communicate openly with me…. Do your best. Your portfolio posted to Fotothing will be the tangible evidence of your progress in the medium but your overall contributions will play a role in determining your grade as well. Don't wait until near the end, then try to get your work done in a rush... that's like skipping class all semester. A minimum of 50 projects posted to your fotothing account is suggested. You may keep working on earlier assignments until the end. You may replace earlier work with newer work you like better. Your final grade is based on "The Big Picture", that is, how well you have tried to understand the assignment and worked to create pieces reflecting the spirit of the task at hand, your progress in the medium, your contributions through posting comments on other's work on the class blog as well as on fotothing. Effort counts! Qualtity as well as quantity count

If you feel that you won't be completing enough work to pass the class, do withdraw before the deadline rather than take a failing grade.

Wishing everyone the best.

  1. HI Jerry, I was not sure what to post to fotothing, do we post photos or digital images, I did not see in the syllabus exactly what to include there.

  2. Dear Steph,

    each project for the class should be done in multiples or in series...for each project, I am expecting 6-10 variations and explorations. Since that would be too many images to post to the blog, they should be posted to fotothig=ng.

    Hope that helps.
