Required out-of-class attendance
Because of the nature of this class and its subject matter, you occasionally will be required to attend meetings and participate in shoots that take place outside of our regularly scheduled class times. I will try to give you as much flexibility and lead time in this scheduling as possible, but your participation in these events is not optional.
