Art 3201: Holography I
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 will be assessed. The
fee covers film (10 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

Discussion Days:
During discussion days,
each student assigned will present a 30 minute report (presentation +
questions + discussion) on a topic associated with Holography. Students
should sign up for their discussion topics during the first two weeks of
class. As part of the work for the discussion, each student is
required to turn in an outline of the topic including
references. The student presentation, discussion and outline will be
graded. The material for discussions forms an integral part of the course.
In most cases this material will only be covered in the 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.
