LAB FEE
Lab Fee Required:  $20. 
Beginning Fall 2007, when a student registers for a class requiring a lab fee, the charge will appear on the student’s account on My Sac State. If the student drops the class by Census Date (February 20nd), the fee will be reversed. Lab fees can be paid online, in person or by mail. A student will not be dropped from a class due to non-payment of course fees; however, financial services will put holds on records after Census Date for any unpaid course fees. The hold will prevent the student from registering for future semesters and getting transcripts and diplomas. When an overdue lab fee is paid, the hold will automatically be removed from the student’s record.

ATTENDANCE
Class begins at 9 am sharp each Saturday morning and will begin with a critique of the previous week's work, followed by either a lecture and / or a printing session. More than one absence will result in reduction in the final grade by one letter grade for each absence. More than one late arrival will result in a partial grade reduction

FINAL PORTFOLIO
A minimum of fifteen finished, matted prints which should include at least two examples of each of the following processes: New Cyanotype, Argyrotype, and Platinum/Palladium.

Students should develop an interesting and cohesive theme/series for their final portfolio. Images must be made from negatives shot during the semester and may not be used for credit in other classes.

Part of the total of fifteen should include a set of four prints from the same negative printed with silver enlarging paper, New Cyanotype, Argyrotype, and Platinum/Palladium.

Portfolios are due Saturday May 16, 2009 and will be evaluated on the basis of aesthetic and technical accomplishment in each medium.

EVALUATION
Final portfolio 50%; attendance and participation in class 40%, submission of web ready images for the course web gallery 10%. Course grading policy conforms to the CSUS Grading System.

Students who fulfill all course requirements will receive a B grade. CSUS defines a B as "Superior achievement of the course objectives. The performance is clearly and significantly above the satisfactory fulfillment of course requirements."

CSUS defines an A as "Exemplary achievement of the courses objectives. In addition to being clearly and significantly above the requirements, work exhibited is of an independent, creative, contributory nature." Students anticipating a final grade of A should memorize the preceding sentence.
