Clarification/Questions, please read

For this weeks assignment, specifically for the 6-10 photo’s we submit on the blog, do you want these to be mostly black and white? Or a mix of color and black and white. I ask because you mention working in black and white through photoshop in this weeks syllabus.

I also wanted to know what was going to be graded - the 6-10 on the blog? Or the 6-10 on the blog AND the 50+ on the google drive?

Lastly, I love your format. Please don’t get me wrong, I just feel like I am confused as to when things are due and when something is considered late. If you could just clarify, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you in advance! Sorry to bother you again!

Hi Joe,

No bother at all... thanks for asking...

I have to take attendance... the college requires it... So I finagled it so I take it 1X/wk on Monday morning...but thee are 2 records each week.  I look for work posted the previous week, Monday to Monday... If I see nothing, then I turn in 2 absences... at 4 absences, the college yanks students out of class...  The 6-10 images should be the best work from shooting at least 50 pictures... There is no requirement for b and w or color... only, what works best for you in a given image... the choice should be intentional, not random.  Having the 50 posted to Google Drive, gives me a sense of how you are working and how you are editing... oftentimes students degrade and mess up the unedited picture and make it worse... Also, I check the meta data to make sure the work is new and shot for the class...

Grades go like this... Do I sense you care about your work?  Have you made some effort to go shooting and do enough work... is there evidence of learning how to edit?  Are the pieces posted to the blog backed up by the work in your Drive? Do you even have a Drive that is shared with me?  Are all 5 assignments done?  I am pretty generous with the grades if all of the previous items are met.  I like to give out A's if the work is pretty good and the previous criteria are met.  B's go to missing the mark, less than good editing, less amount of work... etc.  C's work is missing, D's even more and F's, well you know. 

Take care,
