Quizzes, class work, class participation and projects will be calculated in the student's grades. Students are expected to take notes when such work is given. Students will also be required to take an Industry Certification Exam near the end of the first semester in Photoshop. Tests/Projects=60% and Class Assignments=40% of the student’s nine weeks grade.
Supplies Needed Daily: Pen/pencil, paper, folder with brads will be needed daily. Students need to keep up with handouts and project requirements during the school year.
Students will be learning Photoshop CC 2018 during the course of the class and students will be taking Industry Certification exams in Adobe Photoshop CC prior to the end of the first semester. The primary goal of the course is for students to become Adobe Certified Associates in Photoshop CC and have fun while learning something new and have professional, printed products to bring home and share and be career-ready, if desired!
I am looking forward to a great year and hope you are too!
