Number Assessed14
Data SummaryRubic Criteria:

12 out of 14 students had a good or excellent understand of history of the field. All students understood issues around copyright. !2 of 14 students understood how to write a project overview and pitched successfully. 12 of 14 students were able to go into the field and create work as discussed in class. 8 of 14 were able to edit and sequence photos for final presentation. The last rubic shows that there is a need for improvement with editing and sequencing of photos.
Planned ImprovementsI intend to develop one or two classes to editing and sequencing so that students can have a better handle on this, and develop some sort of practicum around this. This will be developed for class next year.

around these earlier int he semester and more hands on will solve help students to have a better understanding.
