Grading will be based on the timely and successful completion of all projects/activities. Full PRESENCE in class (i.e., not just body attendance) is an absolutely essential element. Each student will be allowed two unexcused absences. Being late (arriving more than 10 minutes after the beginning of class) more than two times will count as an absence. The final grade will be lowered for each unexcused absence beyond two. Excused absences require hardcopy documentation. Students will be expected to take an active role in class discussion by reading assigned texts or visiting URL's, and paying attention to what's going on generally. Note-taking is strongly encouraged and notes may be used on any and all quizzes. Late projects are noted and chronic lateness will directly affect the final grade.
Projects must demonstrate a competent use of the tools or concepts covered in the course. However, grading is based on the process one develops in 'technical ' problem-solving, as well as the creative qualities of the work. An advisory grade based on work-to-date, participation, and attendance may be discussed upon individual appointment during the 3rd week of the workshop. The final grade will be based on completion of the assigned projects/activities, ACTIVE PARTICIPATION in class and on the mailing list, and attendance.
The Department of Fine Arts is committed to upholding the University Uniform Grading System. Grades will be assigned according to this system, which reads:
A superior/excellent
B good/better than average
C competent/average
D minimum passing
F failing
1) Students with disabilities who qualify for academic accommodations must provide a letter from Disability Services (DS) and discuss specific needs with the professor, preferably during the first two weeks of class. DS determines accommodations based on documented disabilities.
2) If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability, please submit to me a letter from Disability Services (DS) early in the semester so that your needs may be addressed. DS determines accommodations based on documented disabilities. (303)492-8671, Willard 322, http://www.colorado.edu/sacs/disabilityservices
