Now that we are starting our 3rd week of the semester, I will begin bringing in examples of our semester project from previous student's. I will have at least two examples every class that you can look through before or after class to get an idea of what I am looking for. Since your semester project is worth 100 points, it is very important that you understand the assignment and do not put it off until the week before it is due. To prevent total procrastination and to make sure you understand what is expected, remember that in two weeks you have one photo with it's analysis due for 10 of the 100 points.
This semester I am trying something new due to having this blog available for all students. Even though I have examples in every class session, I understand that there is a class before us and after not allowing students to look over the examples for very long. I will post an example right here in the blog so that you can access it from home if you have questions. I hope this will help you while you are working on your project through out the semester.
Please understand that this is strictly to give you examples of photos that would work for particular chapters we are covering. It will not be in the same format that is expected of you and the project you turn in to me in November. The semester project handout shows you in detail how to set up your project and the requirements for each analysis.
