Implementation and methods of teaching

Lectures, discussions, demonstrations, exercises. Teaching is mainly or entirely face-to-face.

Timing and attendance

An approved mark requires at least 80% attendance in class.

Learning material and recommended literature

The material to be used during the course will be announced during the course.

Exam retakes

Learning environment

Teaching takes place mainly on the premises of the school. Some parts of the course can also be delivered via distance learning. Distance learning will be done via video link, for which the student must have a suitable quiet room. Suitable facilities can be found, for example, on campus.

Student time use and work load

The number of hours used for the course is determined by the number of credits indicated for the course.

The course teaches camera technique and photographic expression. The course also introduces the software used to manage and process photographs.

Assessment criteria

The assessment will be based on a photographic assignment, an exam and active participation and attendance. Half of the assessment will be based on the assignment and half on the exam. Attendance may raise or lower the grade for the assignment and the exam by up to one point. The sectional assignment will be assessed in terms of visual expression, work process and technical execution.
