July 2012

At the end of each lesson is an ex-

ample of what the photo could look like when done correctly. Because photography is subjective, there is not necessarily a perfect result from the use of Photoshop on an image.

Each student's work may look differ-

ent from the other, and different from the instructor's example, yet may still demonstrate good use of Photoshop,

This presents a quandary for instruc-

tors. Just how do you grade a stu- dent whose work is different from others, yet could be just as valid and correct?

If you are not that familiar with pho-

tography, this can make grading even

If the instructor does not know what a

good crop is, or good color, just how do you grade? It would be helpful if the instructor has taken photography classes.

At the end of most of the lessons

after Photoshop has been applied.

I suggest you use it as a guide to

whether the student has done the work correctly, or close to. That photo is also inside the folder called "instructor use." NOT EV-

ERY LESSON needs to be graded.

These lessons are more about prac-

ticing the skills needed to become good at Photoshop, and less about whether an assignment is done per- fectly. The only way to become truly ten, on a variety of images and situ- ations.

There are no written tests. Each les-

son is worth the same amount as the others.

Assignments and Grading Policy

in a folder with their name on it, so you can know whose photo it is.

Each lesson is de-

signed for a one hour cannot get through the entire lesson in one hour.

You may chose to NOT

use all the material for the hour if need be and either continue the next onto the next lesson.

Or you could chose to

extend the lessons be- yond six lessons. Do not feel bad if your stu- dents cannot complete time.

The last lesson, number six,

can be deleted if you need toshop tend to struggle. After much practice, students may be able to get through the en- tire lesson in one hour.

1) After teaching software for several

of students to be less than effective.

So when I teach Photoshop, I don't use

a class session to tell them what they are going to do the next session.

I immediately have them open Photo-

shop, show them around, and have them open pho- tos to start working on as soon as possible. everything. I don't know a single profes- sional photographer or graphic designer who knows everything about Photoshop.

So my lessons are about real world use.

Brad Shirakawa

The sooner they start using Photoshop, the faster

they will catch on. The old "lecture hall" style of teaching doesn't work as well for software, in my opinion. So these lessons are written that way. I've given you and also your students images to prac- tice on. They are set up to demonstrate the lesson well. Burn
