Late Policy

 Late work will be penalized one full letter grade for any part of the first calendar day and one full letter grade each day thereafter. For example, an “A” will become a “B” etc.

 All previously unsubmitted late work must be turned in by 5:00 PM on the last day of the classes to receive course completion credit.

Examinations

 Exams will be given during class time in the design studio.  Children, pets, and guests are not allowed in studio during the exam.

 Unless otherwise announced, exams will be multiple choice/true-false questions.

Examinations

 Exams will be open book and open notes and will cover all lecture, reading, and recitation materials .

 Bring a calculator, a #2 or HB pencil, and any assigned reading materials.

Examinations

  Arrangements for students with learning difficulties should be made prior to the examination.

Makeup exams will only be given for medical or legal related reasons.

Examinations

  Students arriving late will be penalized for their tardiness.

Results will be posted a

minimum of 24 hours

after all students have taken the exam.

A A B+ B B C+ 93% 90% 87% 83% 80% 77%

Grading

C C D+ D D E: 73% 70% 67% 63% 60% <60%

Class Leadership & Participation

     Student interaction is imperative Questions are strongly encouraged Interaction is an important part of my teaching philosophy Questions and the resultant discussions bring richness and vitality to the course

Come to class… ask questions…
