Final Project – Theoretical Essay
Students
will write a 4-5 page theoretical essay where they introduce a new paradigmatic
idea on photography (defined loosely, derivations from this are ok upon
instructor approval).
It
is encouraged for students to develop their own theoretical term(s) in their
paper that are contributions to the ongoing discourse on photography. Papers will be well-researched,
high-level arguments/observations that are supported by evidence and images (students to create an
appendix that contains footnotes and images, all papers must have a minimum of
4-5 pages of text regardless of their use of images).
Papers
are due the last day of class.
Papers
must have a clear thesis.
If
used, original vocabulary terms must be clearly defined.
References
must be cited on the bottom of each page according to current MLA standards.
Students
must visit and utilize the SAIC library; the internet is not a ceiling for
research…consult the librarian on relevant materials to consult.
For our final class,
students will present via, PowerPoint, the main arguments and examples of their
essays in a 10-12 minute timed
lecture. This presentation should
be practiced, clear, concise, and
dynamic.
Theoretical Essay Proposal
On Nov 7th, bring
a printed essay proposal of two pages to class for review by peers and the
instructor. Add any images necessary
to your proposal as additional printouts behind your proposal—staple everything
together. In addition, please post
the same text and images on the class blog by the beginning of class.
