3201H: Honors Holography 1
General Information
Course Content and Procedures:
This course consists of lectures, demonstrations, student presentations,
discussions and critiques. Lectures and demonstrations will usually be
given on Mondays and Wednesdays. Discussions, presentations and
critiques will usually occur on Wednesdays and Fridays. Student projects
will be due as announced. Projects will be discussed as work is created
and displayed. Student work will be critiqued and graded. Final projects
must be displayed in the holography exhibition at the end of the
semester.
This course requires
materials for which an additional fee may be assessed. This includes
film (4"x5" sheets) and chemicals. Additional film may be purchased for
$3.00 per 4"x5" sheet, $6.00 per 5"x8" sheet and $12.00 per 8"x10" sheet.
Students can expect to use 10-15 4"x5" sheets of film during the
semester.

Student Reports:
Students will write a
5-6 page research paper based on a holography topic or an artist
holographer. The written report will be turned in on the day scheduled
for an oral presentation to the class. Students should sign up for their
report topics during the first two weeks of class. To facilitate
discussion during oral presentations, students will distribute an
outline of their topic and any other supporting materials including
references prior to their oral presentation. The student written
research paper, oral presentation and discussion will be graded. The
material for discussion forms an integral part of the course. In most
cases this material will only be covered in the reports and discussions.
Laboratory Time:
Laboratory time allows
students to perform their own work. Each student is required to
sign up for two hours of laborartory time. On Monday of each week any
open laboratory hours for that week will become available for student
sign-up. During the laboratory time the student who signed up will have
sole access to the laboratory.
Exam:
There will be an
exam at the end of the semester. The exam will sample the material
covered in Lectures, Discussions and Assignments. The exam will have
roughly 40 questions all of which will be multiple choice, matching,
true-false or fill-ins.
