Stevens is a very nice person, but as a professor, he is not very understanding. He expects everyone to know everything about cameras as soon as you walk in on the first day for Basic, so be prepared....and ASK QUESTIONS if you don't understand, otherwise he will not help you out. He's very hard and rarely gives As on assignments. Expect to spend several hours a week in the darkroom to finish assignments and work hard on them, otherwise you will wind up with a C on your assignments, like most of the people in my class did. Also, you do not take a final in his class, your photo story is your final project and he requires 5-7 pictures for it. It may not seem like anything once you are starting the class, but later on in the semester it becomes overbearing.... I would also recommend starting on your photo story for his class at the beginning to mid November and spend A LOT of time on it, the more rolls of film, the better brownie points you are going to score with Stevens. He also likes "sharp and clear" pictures and not as he calls it "soft" pictures. Also, be prepared to spend at least $400 on this class, not including your camera....film alone will cost over $200. He allows 2 reshoots, but do them way in advance of the due date, which is the week before the semester ends. He rarely gives pop quizzes, so make sure to work hard on your prints....I think he personally expects WAY too much out of beginners and I wouldn't recommend taking him if you think this is going to be a cake course...you will be badly mistaken.
