Grading Policy and Evaluation Update

Grading Structure /Assignments:

The first three weeks of class are primarily demos. Craft competency must be successfully demonstrated.  Readings are mandatory; each missed will lower you final grade a full letter grade.  The completion of these initial assignments as well as the quality of your responses are 5% of your grade.

There are five assignments: 1) Portrait 2) Landscape 3) Ordinary 4) Family 5) Experimental; each are worth 15% of your grade.  Your final project represents 20% of your grade.

Late responses/work policy:

Late work results in a failed project. Any late responses/exercises will be counted as 0′s towards your grade but must still be completed in order to pass the course.
