In order to meet course objectives, the following requirements are critical to the attainment of an inclusive environment that is supportive to all participants:attendance
Attendance is mandatory. 2 unexcused absences constitutes the drop of 1 letter grade for the course (2 lates=1 absence). An unexcused absence from any critique or critique segment will constitute the immediate drop of 1 letter grade for the course. Non-attendance at final critique/project presentation results in failing grade (F) for course.
participation
Active and supportive participation in all project critiques, discussions, readings, and presentations will be expected from all students. You will have to share your thoughts and ideas in class, otherwise this doesn’t work.
quality of work
All final work under consideration for critique or discussion in this course should be of a completed/finished quality that warrants the attention and respect of your colleagues. That said, showing process (the path to final work), in all its messiness, should never be averted.
grading
Work will be graded on the basis of fulfillment of course requirements combined with an evaluation of assigned work. This assessment will be weighed in terms of degree of effort, creativity, and individual growth through the session. Grades will be assigned according to the University Policy as follows:
A superior/excellent
B good/better than average
C competent/average
D minimum passing
F failing
