Disappointed with work ethic in class

I had an extremely motivated and hard working group of photography students last semester...and I am expecting the same from students this semester. After viewing much of the work on Flickr,  I noticed  three things...many people are not taking enough photos and many people are not posting to Flickr, and lastly many people are wasting time in class.

May I remind all of you that this is a senior level class that counts for 4 credits. I am feeling that there are only a few students who seem to be able to work independently and at the level I am expecting...for this reason those of you who have been slacking off need to begin to work harder, or I will have to pull the independent nature of the class and assign simple photo assignments that are completed at the end of each week.

When I can go out and shoot portraits, macros, and the word assignment in a couple of hours...I know many of you are not working hard enough...You can do it...it just takes some work...so get out into the world, start really seeing, and begin to capture the beauty that surrounds you!
