FINAL
GRADE CALCULATION
20% - based on progress made as presented during Week 4 Critique
20% - based on progress made as presented during Week 7 Critique
20% - based on progress made as presented during Week 10 Critique
20% - based on writing exercises, professional artist-statement, professional project-statement, and other coursework
20% will be based on participation in discussions and critiques.
N.B. To be clear: walking through the door and sitting at your desk is not “participation” in a college-level class; more is being asked of you. Participation requires active engagement in the discourse of our course. Examples include: provide individual insight into examples show in class, provide feedback to peers during critique, visiting Office Hours with questions or ideas to discuss, active discussion during class-time. If you have discovered other ways to participate, please speak with me to discuss whether or not these variations will meet this high standard.
LATE-WORK
POLICY:
I will only accept assignments late in an emergency situation about which you have spoken with me directly.If you miss class on a day something is due, I will not accept your work late. Late work will be accepted at Instructor’s discretion.
ATTENDANCE
POLICY:
Students are expected to attend all of every class meeting.
Classes which are labeled “Lab work” are not required to attend in-classroom, but rather indicate your responsibility to be in production/post-production on your senior project.
Attendance during “critique weeks” is mandatory.
If you are away-from-class, you will be considered absent (notwithstanding absence due to illness - a note from student health-services or a doctor will be necessary).
One unexcused absence = Lower final grade by one letter
Each additional absence = Lower final grade by an additional letter
Arriving to class late twice will be noted as an “absence.”
