                                                SYLLABUS / DATELINE

 

Following is a list of studio work and required assignments for the Basic 2D Design course and the corresponding dates.  Unless unforeseen circumstances arise that would cancel class, you can assume these DUE DATES ARE SET.  Remember that work turned in late will be lowered in grade (one point per class day late).  As you can see, many design elements and principles are discussed in class and likewise a consistent amount of lab work and assignments are due.  Please keep current by regular attendance, taking notes, bringing the necessary materials to class, and turning in work on time. *NOTE:  ASSIGNMENTS (underlined below in the schedule) need to be printed out from the MyBCC website PRIOR to the class that it will be assigned and discussed.
