PHOT 51 - Beginning Phoography - Stage 4 - Erika Gentry

Assessment

Assessment Methods
  • Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs
  • Assignments based on rubrics (such as essays, projects, and performances)
Assessment DescriptionPART ONE: Part One examines SLO A.

Please distribute part one to your students with their midterm. Put the

ungraded scantrons in Erika’s mailbox by the end of the midterm grade

period. This is an assessment and is NOT GRADED. All answers are

anonymous. Have students use the 25 question scantron sheets to fill in

their answer. Visit the duplicating room to pick up scantron sheets (25

questions scantron sheet) Have students use a #2 pencil.. On the scantron

ask students to write your section number and date ONLY (ie : PH51-008).

Do not write student or Instructor names. These sheets, after graded and

tallied will be returned to you for your own information.

PART TWO: Part Two examines SLO G.

Please have students complete the attached lab –“Making a contact

sheet”. Rubrics will be assessed. Please turn in one file from each student

in a folder with your section “PH51-006” on the photography server.
Learning OutcomesA. Select appropriate camera settings to achieve proper

exposure.

G. Produce digital contact prints.
Number of Sections~9
Number of Instructors~5
Number of Students~180

Data Analysis

Data Shared With
  • Instructors of the same course (at CCSF)
  • Faculty and staff within our department
Data Sharing Methods
  • Face-to-face meetings
  • Email
  • Shared document files
Data SummaryThe results of our 5 question

quiz for photo 51, the highest number of

correct answers for questions #3 and #4 showed a fairly strong understanding of

shutter speed and ISO. The weakest showing for the equivalent exposures

question #5 indicates that since these answers are numeric, and not necessarilymem

orized, that it might help to

have a graph layout (vi

sual) accompanying this

question

that mirrors the practice

quizzes

in class.

We also suggest Instructors define bracketing vs. equivalent exposures more clearly.
Analysis SummaryStudents achieved outcome if they could answer 4/5 questions. The majority did but we feel that incorporating a visual graph on the next quiz (Spring '13) may have an increased result for visual learners.
Next Steps PlannedWe will re-assess in the Spring using some of the one questions students seemed to miss as well as introduce new ones to test other outcomes. We feel that incorporating a visual graph on the next quiz (Spring '13) may have an increased result for visual learners who may have missed the equivalent exposure question frequently.
Learning OutcomesA. Select appropriate camera settings to achieve proper exposure.

C. Estimate depth of field and motion based on camera settings.

E. Differentiate lens types.

More DetailsPART ONE: Part One examines SLO A, C, E.

Please distribute part one to your students during the time frame of 11/12-11/21. Put the

ungraded scantrons in Erika’s mailbox 11/22. This is an assessment and is NOT

GRADED. All answers are anonymous. Have students use the 25 question scantron

sheets to fill in their answer. Visit the duplicating room to pick up scantron sheets (25

questions scantron sheet) Have students use a #2 pencil.. On the scantron ask students to

write your section number and date ONLY (ie : PH51-008). Do not write student or

Instructor names. These sheets, after graded and tallied will be returned to you for your

own information.

PART TWO: Part Two examines SLO G.

Please have students complete the attached lab –“Making a contact sheet”. Ruberics will

be assessed. Please turn in one file from each student in a folder with your section

“PH51-006” on the photography server in the folder “PH51_SLOs” by November 22

(the week before thanksgiving break).

PART ONE

This is an assessment and is NOT GRADED. All answers are anonymous. Use the

scantron sheet to fill in your answer. Use a #2 pencil. Do not mark this sheet. On

the scantron write your section number and date ONLY (ie : PH51-008). Do not

write your name.

1. When you intentionally make several varied exposures of same scene using positive

and negative exposures from MIE (the meter indicated exposure or “normal”), you are:

a) Panning

b) Using equivalent exposures

c) Bracketing

d) Pushing

2. Identify the correct equivalent exposure below for ƒ16 at 1/250

a) ƒ2 at 1/2

b) ƒ11 at 1/30

c) ƒf32 at 1/60

d) ƒ5.6 at 1/4000

e) ƒ4 at 1/2000

ƒ32 ƒ 22 ƒ 16 ƒ 11 ƒ 8 ƒ 5.6 ƒ 4 ƒ 2.8 ƒ 2 ƒ 1.4

1/250

3. If your camera is set on f8 @ 1/8 second and you open up one stop (+1) to f5.6 but

keep the shutter @ 1/8, then you are:

a) keeping the exposure the same

b) doubling the amount of light reaching the film

c.) halving the amount of light reaching the film

d) admitting four times that amount of light reaching the film

4. Which lens has the least (smallest) angle-of-view as compared to a normal lens?

a) 28mm

b) 18mm

c) 105mm

d) 300mm

5. According to the Shutter Speed Rule, what is the slowest speed that you could use to avoid

camera shake when using a 75mm lens without a tripod?

a) 1/30 of a second

b) 1/250 of a second

c) 1/125 of a second

d) 1/60 of a second
