Classroom
Policies
1.
As outlined in the CU Student Handbook, Photojournalism I
Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner
consistent
with the University’s mission as an educational institution. Any student who fails to conduct him/herself in such manner violates this code, and a disciplinary penalty may be imposed. 2. Students will respect both their classmates and the instructor at all times, or he/she will be asked to leave the class. This mutual respect includes having off-topic conversations while someone else is speaking, antagonistic or purposefully inflammatory comments, and checking voicemail or playing electronic games during class dialogue. 3. Electronic communication devices must be silenced and not used during the class period unless an emergency situation exits. Attendance Policies 1.
You
are expected to attend class. You are responsible for
material presented in class and assignments provided for completion
whether you are present or not. Handouts and assignments will be
provided in class only. If you are absent, make arrangements for
someone to obtain a handout/assignment for you. DO NOT ASK FOR
HANDOUTS/ASSIGNMENTS GIVEN OUT IN CLASS IF YOU WERE NOT PRESENT.
2. Class attendance is critical. Daily, in-class assignments/activities cannot be completed if a student is not in class the day the assignment/activity is completed. Students who are absent will not benefit from class activities and discussions that provide practice in using the concepts covered in the course. Students are here to learn, and if they are not in class I will assume they have a valid reason. 3. Our scheduled meeting time is T/R from 11:00 am - 12:15 pm: a 75-minute class period. Class will be begin promptly at 11:00 am. 4. Students sleeping in class, working on things other than the current course, or holding conversations unrelated to the course during class activities and discussions may be asked to leave class for such behavior. Incomplete A grade
of “I” (Incomplete) will only be given under extreme
circumstances. In order to qualify for an “Incomplete” the
student must meet all
of the following:
Completion
of all assignments and exams for
the semester with a score of “C” or better at the time the “I” is
requested.
Extenuating circumstances that the instructor agrees warrant an “Incomplete.” Discussion
with the instructor to set up an
agreement for completion of the incomplete before the last date to
withdraw from the class. If a student first contacts the
instructor regarding a grade of incomplete after the date for dropping
the class has passed, an incomplete will NOT be granted unless the
student has documentation of a medical emergency or a death in the
student's immediate family.
Students who cease to attend class and who do
not bring
an official Cameron drop form for a signature will receive an "F" in
the
course regardless of their grades at the time they cease to attend
class.
Current Cameron policy prohibits giving a "W" in such a circumstance.
Deadlines Obviously,
deadlines
are critical in
publishing and journalism. If late arriving to its target audience,
information loses its timeliness and worth. All
other class
assignments should be
submitted on or
before the due date. If absent on the day
an assignment is due, one
should
make There
are no make up
times for lectures, in-class
assignments and exams. Lab
Lab time will include and follow instructor demonstrations and hands-on use of the hardware and software required to complete assignments. Time outside of scheduled class labs will be required to complete assigned projects. Computer lab time is available in NB 2068, Burch Hall, and Fine Arts Building. Make use of the opportunity.

weekly
syllabus for due dates.
