designed to increase students’ understanding of the
aesthetic and functional purposes
of design. Includes in-class laboratory/studio work,

synopsis or book report (5-7 pages minimum).
Supplies: See the separate SUPPLY LIST handout.
Course Requirements:
There will be approximately 27-30
assignments over the quarter. Assignments
will be given out daily for both
in-class and out-of-class assignments so
attentive attendance is required.
Grading:
Students must complete, turn in on time,
and receive a passing grade on a
minimum of 75% of all the assignments,
complete the synopsis/book report,
and have no more than 3 absences in
order to receive a passing grade for the
quarter. 3
incidences of arriving late or leaving early will count as one absence.
Quarter
grades will be based on taking the total of the individual assignment
grades
and dividing it by the number of assignments to find the average
grade
earned.
Grading
continued:
A few
assignments will count as 2 grades because of the extensive time involved
with
some assignments.
Late
assignments are accepted up to 3 days late (M-W = 1 day, W-M = 3 days)
and
the grade will be lowered 1 grade step for each day late.
The
2 lowest grades on assignments (not the
book report) will be dropped.
Students
can redo up to 3 assignments to increase a grade. All redone assignments
must
be turned in by June 9th.
