Final Grade
|
|
Your final grade will depend on the points you earn
during the semester:
-
A = 100–91 (exceptional work beyond 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,
poor technique, late assignments)
-
F = 60 or less (failure to hand in assignment
or failure to hand in "D" work on time)

Attendance
|
|
Attendance is required. This is especially important during studio
photo shoots where your services as an assistant is required.
Your 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 four classes.
It is your responsibility to make up any work missed during absences.

Points can be earned in each of the following four categories:
- Projects 50%
- Finished exercises 20%

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, rough prints, slides, negatives,
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.
