•Any late project will be graded down one letter grade.  Late assignments must be turned in within 1 weeks of the original due date.

•Each photo project should be considered equivalent to a written exam.  The project is a visual demonstration of your knowledge, therefore do not under-estimate the value of a single project. All projects will be counted towards the final grade.
