taking.
We

Professionalism:

Participation,
support,
and
respect
in
all

is

The
class
dynamic
depends
on
your

initiative,

involved

and
critiques.
Your

time
and
on
task
with
what

NOTE
ON
TECHNOLOGY:
I
will
take
up
phones
during
demonstrations.
You
will
be
allowed
to
listen
to
music
with
your
headphones
at
a
reasonable
volume
on
a
case
to
case
basis.
I
reserve
the
right
to
take
your
technology
away
if
you
abuse
it
and
send
you
to
the
Dean
of
Students
Oce.
Quizzes:
15%
From
time
to
time
I
will
give
you
a
quiz.
This
is
to
test
your
knowledge
so
that
I
have
full
condence
in
your
technical
skills
as
a
photographer
or
a
designer.
I
know
quizzes
in
yearbook?
Dont
worry
they
arent
that
hard
(if
you
paid
attention).
Photography:
25%
All
of
you
will
be
trained
to
take
pictures
on
campus
and
take
them
well.
You
will
be
assigned
outside
of
class
campus
events,
sports
games,
and
trips
or
you
will
have
to
organize
who
will
take
photos
of
trips
(because
we
all
cant
go
on
every
cultural
trip,
am
I
right?)
Even
if
photography
is
not
your
main
focus,
you
will
still
be
required
from
time
to
time
to
take
photos,
so
you
will
be
evaluated
on
the
assignments
you
turn
in.
Design:
25%
Each
of
you
will
be
required
a
section
or
more
to
complete
for
the
yearbook.
This
could
be
family,
this
could
be
senior
pages,
this
could
be
sports
pages.
If
you
like
designing
more
than
photography,
no
problem
you
can
have
more
pages
to
complete
and
work
on!
But
you
will
be
evaluated
on
the
quality
of
your
designs
and
how
you
communicated
with
images
and
text.
Attendance:
10%
At
LAS
the
attendance
policy
states
that
if
you
have
3
unexcused
tardies
then
that
becomes
an
absence.
3
unexcused
absences
result
in
10%
of
your
grade
dropping.
Note that some of the assessment can vary from assignment to assignment.
