Final grade
|

|
In this class, your
grade will be based on attendance, class participation, software proficiency
and the quality of the work you do.
Your
final semester grade will be determined as follows:
- A = 100-91 (exceptional
work beyond the class requirements)
- B = 90-81 (excellent
technical and creative abilities exhibited)
- C = 80-71 (all
work accomplished on time and minimum goals achieved)
- D = 70-61 (minimum
goals not achieved, late presentations)
- F
= 60 or less (failure to finish assignments or doing "D"
work late)
|
 |
Attendance
|

|
Your semester grade will drop by one letter for every
four classes missed. You are considered absent if you are not here
when attendance is taken. "Excused" absences will only be discussed
under extraneous circumstances and only if you have missed more
than two classes. It is your responsibility to make up any work
missed during absences.

Earning Points
|

|
Points
can be earned in each of the following four categories:
- Projects 40%
- Finished exercises 30%
- Quiz 10%
- Sketchbook 10%
- Sourcefiles 10%
Numerical
grades will be awarded for each project, exercise or quiz. At the end
of the semester, all the points earned for each category will be averaged
and weighted to determine your final grade. Projects will be graded based
on creativity, problem solving ability, craftsmanship, and professional
presentation skills. Your grade for each project will drop by one grade
for each presentation deadline not met. It is the student's responsibility
to know the deadlines for each presentation.

Note
|

|
Your grade will be
given to you during your individual reviews at midterm and at the end
of the semester. You must bring all the work you have done up to that
time (including all reference materials, concept sketches, b&w roughs,
color comps, digital files, etc.). Do not throw away any material from
this class. Your grade will depend on it. At any time during the semester,
you may request individual reviews to check your progress. You may revise
and re-submit projects and exercises as many times as you like up until
the final review.
