What are my responsibilities?

1. Attend and participate to class activities – although these are not compulsory, I highly recommend you come along and actively participate. It is our experience that those not doing so find it hard to have a productive semester. I would like you to make the most of this unique opportunity but ultimately you are in charge of how much you will enjoy and succeed in it.
2. Be on time & be professional – this is a sign of respect (+ maturity and professionalism) for staff, external guests and peers.
3. Be considerate of zoo staff – they are very busy people and, although very gentle and always available to our requests, we should not colonise their work space/time and professionally respect their work at all times.
4. Be considerate, supportive and respectful towards your peers and lecturers – collegiality is very important in the workplace as well as academia.
5. End of semester exhibition (week 14, June 9) – you will be in charge for its success, management and design. Details and alternatives will be discussed in class over the semester but whatever you will choose as a team, you will then have to take it through suitably and professionally.
6. Submit and present high quality work at all times and submit a good quality portfolio at the end of the semester. Please do not arrive on presentation day unprepared, unready, messy, with poor quality work or visuals. Please present your self and your work professionally – as if for a job interview. We are dealing with a corporate partner, so please behave as professionally as possible.
