For the spring semester, there will be two (TWO!!) visual communication courses offered. Documentary Photography (JOUR5370) will be on the books, as always, as well as a new capstone-esque course - JOUR5990, Multimedia Journalism.
Since I'm limited in how many classes I can teach, we'll be hiring an adjunct to teach the 5370 course so I can do the new, experimental course. Because Doc will be done by an adjunct, the scheduling will be different - probably, probably, Tuesday OR Thursday evenings from 5-8. We're talking with a couple of staffers from the AJC about it so the adjunct will have a lot of experience at high level story telling.
Would anyone see a problem with doing an evening class? I know there would be R&B conflicts, but those should be easily worked out as not everyone would be in the class. (I hope some would choose the new course ...)
Let me know ASAP.
Thanks.

I don't see any problems with it an evening-once-a-week class like that. I did classes like that for two and half years before I came to UGA. Worked pretty well for me, especially if it's just one day a week, it shouldn't be difficult to work around. I actually preferred classes like that, as opposed to 50 minutes here and there, which really interrupts my entire day. I think you'd need good communication among the instructor and the students, since you'd only meet once a week and questions are bound to arise, but yehaw power of the web. I'm not sure if that mean a whole lot, since I've already had doc.
That being said, I'd be interested in the capstone class.
I don't see any problem with that time....
No fair, I want to take the capstone class too!
