Many previous course outlines have SLOs and what are now called
Competencies/Concepts/Issues/Skills combined in question number 6. In this form in
number 15: SLOs are considered to be over arching “what the student will be able to do
in the rest of life” type statements. In number 16: Competencies/Concepts/Issues/Skills
are considered to be the more specific steps by which the SLOs are achieved.
15. Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). List one to four inclusive SLOs.
Use roman numerals (I., II., III.) to designate SLOs..
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
I. manipulate the manual settings on digital cameras to make photographs under
complex lighting situations.
II. recognize, compose, capture and print artistic photographs.
III. recognize and communicate artistic photographic quality.
IV.
16. Competencies/Concepts/Issues/Skills. Use lower case letters (a., b.…zz) to
designate competencies/concepts/issues/skills..
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
a. …demonstrate a technical understanding of photographic methods, materials,
and vocabulary.
b. …produce a portfolio of photographic art works which demonstrates a
technical understanding of photographic methods and materials.
c. …produce photographs with various camera technologies using the proper
exposure settings, lenses and filters for the course projects and activities.
Revised 3/8/2016

d. …demonstrate a general knowledge of the development of photography as an
art form and a communication tool.
e. …demonstrate a knowledge of the use of composition, cropping, lighting
effects, and exposure in production of digital photos.
f. …analyze photographs for content, communication, creative choices, and
compositional form.
