General Discussion

Which is exceedingly odd . . . since I didn't take a single history class in college (or for my masters or JD degrees, either). I avoided them like the plague, because of bad high school experiences. but the requirements for the BFA plus the additional requirements for the history of photography put me at one course away from a minor. I took the first of the history classes last spring - but I'm only up to about 1250 CE. Now I'm on break from the history classes while I finish up the foundation courses - and photography courses that are offered once in a blue moon (second semester darkroom this semester; large format next semester).

Thanks - I've encountered the first class I'm not really enjoying. ( 2D Foundations - the person in charge keeps tinkering, so the syllabus and materials that everyone has to use aren't stable, with new errors introduced every semester, and most of the folks teaching it are adjuncts without institutional or course history. Couple that with an immature instructor - and and immature class.) Now that I have time to teach myself, the rest of the semester will be more fun. But one out of 8 isn't bad.
