Solbridge Mission, Course Objectives and Methodology
The prime goal of the course is to
deliver the promise of SolBridge. SolBridge has the mission of educating the
next generation of Asian Thought leaders. The school aims to instill in our
graduates a Global Perspective, Asian Expertise, a solid foundation in
Management Knowledge, Cross Cultural Competence and a sense of social
responsibility.
This general education course is intended to enhance the
student’s creativity and all-round development. In this practicum-oriented
course, students will acquire the skills for creating new work and come to
appreciate the process of creativity through the use of the photographic
medium.
Students will learn the basic and advanced techniques and
principals of photographic image making. They will learn to see and appreciate
light in a new way and learn to see and design visual elements within the
frame.
In this course, students will learn how to properly expose an
image, to process and adjust the digital image using photo-editing software.
Students will develop their understanding of the language of images, and
understand how to make images which are important and powerful in their own
right.
Required Equipment
Students will need to have access to a digital camera. An
advanced point-and-shoot camera with manual controls is sufficient, but a
digital SLR camera would be best.
Students will need to bring their camera to most of the classes. A cellphone camera is permitted, but
the ability to produce the required work and receive higher scores will be difficult
or impossible. So students that do
not have an adequate camera, are encouraged to borrow or share a higher quality
camera.

Plagiarism, Copying and Academic Dishonesty
I. Plagiarism
is the unauthorized use of another’s work or ideas and the representation of
these as one’s own.
Definition of Plagiarism: “The
practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s
own”. (OED)
This includes among others but
not limited to
(a) copying
another individual’s or group’s ideas and work, copying materials from the
internet and other published sources and producing such materials verbatim,
(b) Using
others’ ideas and work without proper citation of the original proponent or
author of the idea. Students are expected to produce original work of their own
for assignments and examinations.
A comprehensive definition and explanation of plagiarism will be given
during the first class period, and students are expected to take serious note
of this explanation.
These rules apply to internet
sources also. Students are strongly advised to access the following website and
learn how to avoid plagiarism. It is the student’s responsibility to learn this
on his/ her own.
SolBridge considers plagiarism
as a serious breach of professional ethics. Plagiarism will not be tolerated in any form at SolBridge.
Penalties can be as severe as expulsion from the university. To avoid
plagiarism it always best to do your own work or cite the work of others
appropriate. Refer to your student handbook for a more detailed description of
plagiarism and the associated penalties.
In this class, the rules are:
1.
The first instance of plagiarism will result in a
“zero” for the assignment in question.
2.
The second instance of plagiarism will result in a
fail grade for the entire course.
3.
The third cumulative instance of plagiarism, academic
dishonesty and violation of school disciplinary rules in this and other classes
will result in serious disciplinary action which could include expulsion from
Solbridge.
4.
The instructor will report each instance of
plagiarism, academic dishonesty and violation of school disciplinary rules to
the disciplinary officer.
II.
Copying Textbooks. copyrighted materials and academic
dishonesty
A. Copying Textbooks
and other copyrighted materials without permission of publisher or author is
tantamount to theft. Therefore, students are expected to purchase the
prescribed books and other materials from the Woosong Bookstore.
· Students using
copied versions of books without permission will be asked to leave the classroom.
· In addition, such
students will get “zero” participation points and any other penalties as levied
by the instructor.
B. Academic Dishonesty
includes but not limited to: (a) plagiarism, (b) cheating during examinations,
(c) obtaining/ providing information for reports, assignments and examinations
by fraudulent means, (d) falsification of information or data, and (e) false representation of others’
effort as one’s own.
Some examples of academic dishonesty are: copying from other students
during examinations; copying material from other students’ reports/ assignments
and submitting the same as one’s own report; creating fictitious interview
materials for assignments or reports. These are just a few examples and not
exhaustive.
In this class, the rules are:
1.
The first instance of academic dishonesty will result
in a “zero” for the assignment in question.
2.
The second instance of academic dishonesty will result
in a fail grade for the entire course.
3.
The third cumulative instance of plagiarism, academic
dishonesty and violation of school disciplinary rules in this and other classes
will result in serious disciplinary action which could include expulsion from
Solbridge.
4.
The instructor will report each instance of
plagiarism, academic dishonesty and violation of school disciplinary rules to
the disciplinary officer.
The rules
on plagiarism, copying and academic dishonesty are non-negotiable.
