Calculation formula of final grade

Upon delivery of each project the students will be graded on a scale from A to F alphabetical, which make up a split between the articulation of concepts (theoretical foundation) and the materialization of the project (technical field capacity).

Observations

In view of the current context that led to the suspension of face-to-face classes, a review of the work proposals was made in the Photography 1 unit. Initially, it was planned to carry out work focused on photographic practice in an analog context (Project 01) and the development of a group work in photography's Studio (Project 02). These projects were adapted, giving rise to the proposal Photographic Illustration (Project 01) and the construction of a Photobook (Project 02). The classes of exposition taught in remote regime followed the theoretical contents initially foreseen. The evaluation parameters will be maintained.
