As long as the work connected to contemporary photojournalism issues, students in COM2460 History of Photojournalism had complete choice of format and topic for creating their Midterm Project blog posts.
"I was delighted with the wide variety of formats students chose to creatively present their deep insights about photojournalism," said Professor Nordell. "My goal was to motivate students with an assignment that allowed them to choose topics of personal interest and to present research in creative formats that showcased their individual strengths, talents and skills. To say I was delighted with the submissions would be an understatement!"
