Evaluation of Intro to Photography

I LOVED this class. The people....not so much.

Question: How can this class be improved?

My answer: There really isn't a lot to make this class better. However some people seemed to think that I wanted to hear their stories while I was developing/printing photos and that wasn't much fun. Once when I was printing photos, minding my own business, one of my classmates suddenly slapped my back and started laughing while saying, "just kidding!". I had no idea this person was even talking to me, so I politely fake laughed and tried to avoid further contact. Generally, I like to be left to my own devices and above all, I do not like to be touched. Ever. This really isn't something anyone has any control over, but I think some sort of do-not-touch-me device should be allowed, so awkward back slappings can be avoided.

Question: What were the greatest strengths of this course?

My answer: The smell of the developing chemicals. That was very strong.

Question: What were the greatest strengths of this professor?

My answer: I think his ability to make me more critical of my own and other people's pictures is his strength. I don't mean that I just see a photo and say, "Oh that's stupid. That person is stupid, and they take pictures of stupid things." I mean more like seeing what I or what others should have done to make the picture better, and use that for future reference when I take photos. Although some people really do take pictures of stupid things, but that's off subject. Anyways, this class was awesome sauce, and I am sure it will continue to be awesome sauce.
