GRADING: Grading
is done on a numerical scale as follows:
A = 10 |
B+ = 9 |
C+= 7.5 |
D+ = 6 |
A- = 9.5 |
B = 8.5 |
C = 7 |
D = 5.5 |
|
B- = 8 |
C- = 6.5 |
F = 5 |
A
“0” ZERO will be assigned to work not turned in.
At
least 75% of assigned work must be completed successfully and turned in for
evaluation for student to be assigned credit for the course.
Your final grade is
simply a compilation of the studio projects, the homework, and the vocabulary
quiz calculated to an average. The
studio evaluation may be considered if a clear average is not attained. You can easily track your average with the
worksheet on final page of syllabus.
Considerations involved in grading include; solution of assigned
problem, design qualities, and craftsmanship. Specific aspects of what is
to be evaluated will be addressed with each project. Some larger projects
will have several grades. WORK TURNED IN LATE WILL BE LOWERED IN
GRADE. There will be one point taken off of each grade for each
class day late. Work not up for the review at the beginning of the
critique is considered late. Any
late projects must be turned in no later than 1 week past original due date.
All graded work will
be returned with a simple "scoresheet"
identifying your level of achievement demonstrated in the stated objectives of
the assignment. Specific attributes of your project will be addressed in
the critique. It is ESSENTIAL that you use the critique to get instructor
feedback on your work. Do not be passive - ASK QUESTIONS. The scoresheet will notify you of the assigned grade, but the
critique is where the true discussion of your work is given.
Participating in this is essential to your growth as a design student. If
you feel more feedback is needed than you received in critique, please take
advantage of my office hours(or make an appointment
outside of class) and I will be happy to discuss your work further.
ATTENDANCE: 100%
attendance is very important to get the benefit of introductory lectures,
assignments and directions, critiques, and the instructor’s help with your
work. You are held responsible for obtaining information missed though
absences. Instruction is integrated
throughout the entire 2hours and 50 min. session. Leaving early is not optional. Having required lab materials is not
optional. If you do arrive late for
class, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to let the instructor know that the marked
absence should be adjusted . This needs to be done the day of class in
question. I do not negotiate the
attendance roster at the end of the quarter.
This is a STUDIO course in which you are to work IN CLASS on the
projects in progress. Part of the evaluation process is my observing your
working abilities. In this way we have a dialogue throughout the
development of your design. IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOT COMMIT TO THE ENTIRE 6
HOURS OF STUDIO PER WEEK, I ADVISE THAT YOU RECONSIDER TAKING THIS
COURSE. After three absences( 9
class hours) it is advised that you withdraw from the course as credit can
no longer be assigned after missing that amount of course/lab time. If there is a specific emergency or extended
illness that may warrant an “incomplete” grade, it is your responsibility to
notify the instructor. * refer to the Arts & Humanities Division
“Student Procedures & Expectations on the web that specifically details the
division policies. This is posted on
the My BCC website for this course. Go to bellevuecollege.edu and click on the MyBCC link.
HANDOUTS: YOU
will be responsible for accessing the course Assignment Handouts online at the MyBCC
website for ART 110 Luark. Please make a
habit of checking this site regularly.
It is very
important that you print out the assignment sheets PRIOR to starting the
assignments in class. Check your syllabus/timeline to see when an
ASSIGN is scheduled.
STUDIO
GUIDELINES:
For the purpose of making the classroom environment and studio time beneficial
to ALL students by limiting behavior which distracts from students ability to
concentrate on their work, please employ the following guidelines:
- no
eating/drinking in class (use break time, lounge area)
- no
radios, beepers, cell phones
- use studio time for
assigned Design work(not math assignments, writing
letters, etc
- general
conversation(outside of lecture) and student interaction is encouraged, but try
and not disturb the class as a whole
BREAK: There will be
a 15 minute break at mid-class each day
STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES:
If you require accommodation based on a documented disability, emergency
medical information to share, or need special arrangements in case of an

have these materials available to you DURING CLASS. Lockers are provided
for this purpose. DO NOT COUNT ON PURCHASING MATERIALS DURING THE CLASS

TEXT: There is
no required text for this course, but a copy of DESIGN BASICS by D. Lauer will
be kept on loan at the library desk. If you are interested in further
