Second year

HND2 will commence at 10.00am on Monday 1st September.

Class groups for HND2 haven't been decided yet - but in the meantime I can direct you to the new HND2 A & B blogs:

Graded Unit Results

I have everyone's Graded Unit Results.

Data protection law prohibits me from posting them here, so email me and I'll let you know in a reply.

A reminder - progression to HND2 is not automatic - you must have completed all first year units. If you're in doubt, speak to the relevant tutor.

Creative Industries assignments are fine - except for two missing - Anna Z and Jill S who must rectify this immediately

Class Reps meeting Monday 9th June

HND Class Reps and anyone else who wishes to attend a departmental annual course review meeting on Monday 9th at 9.15am in Room 187 are welcome to come along. There will be a free biscuit.

Areas that will be discussed:

Accommodation
Curriculum design
Assessment
Achievement
Retention
Recruitment

Monday 26th May

There is no lecture on Monday

(But unlike some other places, Monday is not a holiday)

The final (Creative Industries) written assignment deadline is Monday 2nd June - lecture theatre 2 @ 12noon.

Constructed Image deadline - 28.5.08

Weds 28th May in Studio 22 @ 9.30am

We will look at ALL the work for this unit (even if you showed some at the work-in-progress assessment last month):

Hotel food
Spring
City
Infra-red

You should submit your work in a folder along with your soup 35mm transparency and timelapse montage.

Studio 22 will be available on Weds 4th and 11th (some of you may have to remake images).

Graded Unit - Written Evaluation

Minimum 500 words - for Monday 19th @ 12noon - lecture theatre 2

An outline of the project
An overview of the planning and development stages - including any significant changes from the proposal
Positive aspects
Areas for improvement
Identification of knowledge and skills which have been gained or developed
Conclusions

There are fifteen marks available. Try to claim as many as you can.

Graded Unit - Monday 12th

Lecture theatre 2 @ 10.00am - final submissions and workbooks. Please clearly label your work with: NAME, STUDENT NUMBER, COURSE and COLLEGE.

SQA guidelines require me to tell them who did not submit their work on time. You lose marks for unathorised absence and significant lateness.

DO NOT try to give me your work before Monday. There's too much of it for me to keep track of - whereas you all only have your own project to look after.

You will present your work to the group, describing what you've done - how well it's gone and if there's anything you'd do differently. These discussions will be useful for compiling your written evaluation.

Details of the written evaluation criteria will be given out on Monday 12th. This is due on Monday 19th at noon. SQA will collect the work soon thereafter.

Creative Industries assignment

What areas of work are you considering when college finishes? Do you know what you will have to do to get there?

Apply for a 'staff' job? Launch yourself as a freelance? Take an assistant’s role? Buy a franchise? Move to another city or even another country?

Write 1000 words outlining your photographic career plans and the options you think are open to you.

Nothing is fixed, everything might change - and no-one will make any form of judgement about what you choose, but writing this will help you focus your thoughts.

Explain what you know and/or think you will have to do to get where you want to be. Can you identify the steps you will have to take?

Will you need funding or start-up capital? Further training? Will you seek advice, and if so who from? Is there are an area of business that particularly interests you? Have you seen a gap in the market? Do you have a USP (Unique Selling Point)?

Deadline Monday 2nd June - Lecture theatre 2: 12 noon

Tues 29th April - Location Stock

That was a disappointing turnout on Tuesday. Thanks to the one person who turned up and to those who emailed me.

I have given you a lot of freedom on this module but I need to know what progress you are making. Otherwise I get in trouble with your class tutor and I don't like that.

To the rest... I really need you to turn up on Tuesday 29th April, between
1.15 and 3 to show me your work so far and/or discuss any problems or concerns you have.

If you can't make it in can you please drop me a note
(adam@scottishviewpoint.com) and let me know how you are getting on with the module.

Thanks,

Adam
