Welcome to PHO 397 Developing Photographic Ideas

This site is for students enrolled in PHO 397.01b (T/R 8:00a -10:50a) Developing Photographic Ideas during the Fall Semester of 2020. Students should check this blog every day during the semester for updates on assignments, when class will meet, etc.  This is the main way I will be communicating with you, along with emails.

 

Students will be split into two groups. Group A will meet primarily on Tuesdays and Group B will meet primarily on Thursdays. It will be to the students benefit to dedicate both Tuesdays and Thursdays between 8a to 10:50am to working on assignments for this class. There may be times that the entire class will meet on either of these days. Note: Any F2F or online meetings will be conducted between 8am to 10:50am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

 

Attendance on the first day of class is mandatory!


During the first week of class each group will meet online.  Group A will meet on Tuesday, August 24, 2020, and Group B will meet on Thursday, August 26, 2020. Info on how to sign in and which group you are in will be sent via email. There is a lot of material to cover that first day plus we will be going over our first assignment, so please be on time, prepared to take notes and to stay awhile. Failing to attend that first day could count against your attendance grade. 

 

If there are any questions, please contact me via my email.
