HHHSDA CAMERA LICENSE

Oct 22

2 min read

Getting to leave our lab and use our camera equipment for this course is a PRIVILEDGE.

You are being trusted take care of often hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of equipment.

You are also being trusted with a large amount of freedom to move around the school with the expectation of abiding by all school rules, using your time properly and not disturbing other classes or students.

There are similarities to the responsibility of operating a vehicle.

So, we will be operating under a "CAMERA LICENSE" system.

To earn your license, you will listen during demonstrations about how to use the equipment properly and take care of it. You will demonstrate to the teacher that you can perform these tasks.

Once you have your license, you will be working under a demerit system.

3+ DEMERITS WILL MEAN YOU TEMPORARILY LOSE YOUR LICENSE AND MUST EARN IT BACK.

YOU WILL RECEIVE DEMERITS FOR...

Late to class 3 times - 1 Demerit
Missing more than 3 assignments - 1 Demerit
3 warnings about use of time - 1 Demerit
3 warnings about misuse of equipment (neck strap, camera caps, firing flash, etc.) - 1 Demerit
Found outside of boundaries - 3 Demerits
Other situations may arise that lead to demerits - teacher discretion.

LOSING YOUR LICENSE MEANS YOU CANNOT OPERATE WITHOUT SUPERVISION AND MUST WORK ONLY IN THE LAB.

YOU CAN REMOVE DEMERITS AND EARN YOUR LICENSE BACK BY...

Completing missing assignments
Working in the lab until the teacher decides you have earned back the priviledge.
Completing alternate assignments

LOSING YOUR CAMERA LICENSE MULTIPLE TIMES MAY LEAD TO LOSING IT PERMANENTLY - written assignments or removal from the course may be discussed.
