and tell” and o<strong>the</strong>r projects and field trips. Your final grade doesn’t depends more on your engagement <br />
with <strong>the</strong> material than it does on my judgement <strong>of</strong> your work. The grading breakdown is as follows: <br />
• Course Projects: Timely and successful completion <strong>of</strong> all main projects -‐ 50% <br />
• Participation: Class involvement -‐ 20% <br />
• Final Portfolio: Quality <strong>of</strong> work, craftsmanship, final presentation 15% <br />
• Quizzes and Writing Assignments: 10% <br />
• <strong>Syllabus</strong> Quiz: 5% <br />
Participation: 20% <strong>of</strong> your grade is determined by your participation in <strong>the</strong> class. This means showing <br />
up on time (with all <strong>of</strong> your materials), completing all assignments and remaining engaged throughout <br />
<strong>the</strong> entire class period. There is never a reason <strong>for</strong> you <strong>to</strong> rush through a drawing or project and sit <br />
bored through <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> class period. I expect you <strong>to</strong> participate <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire class period. Extra <br />
Credit: There will be opportunities <strong>to</strong> earn a few points outside <strong>of</strong> class by attending <strong>Art</strong>s Alive (and <br />
similar events in Arcata and McKinleyville). <br />
Make-‐Up Work: If you are missing any assignment, it must be made up outside <strong>of</strong> class time. Come see <br />
me if you need <strong>to</strong> make special arrangements. I will accept late work up <strong>to</strong> TWO WEEKS after <strong>the</strong> <br />
original due date. Late work will be marked down by 20%. <br />
Music: Except <strong>for</strong> a few longer projects <strong>to</strong>ward <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> semester, I don't allow students <strong>to</strong> wear <br />
headphones/earbuds in class. We will listen <strong>to</strong> music while we draw, but it will be playing on <strong>the</strong> <br />
speakers in <strong>the</strong> classroom. You may bring music <strong>to</strong> share with <strong>the</strong> class or suggest music that you'd like <br />
<strong>to</strong> hear. <br />
Cell Phones and Texting: Do I really have <strong>to</strong> spell this out Turn <strong>of</strong>f your cell phones during my class (if <br />
you can even get reception in this building). If I catch you texting or talking on your cell phone during <br />
class, you will be asked <strong>to</strong> leave and marked absent <strong>for</strong> that day. <br />
