What are the Assessments?

75% of the total grade for the course comes from fifteen small assignments where you will take photos according to a given brief, so it’s a very hands on course. 20% of the total mark comes from the portfolio of work that you will hand in at the end of the course, and the remaining 5% comes from your participation on the web forum.
