• Students are required to attend every class meeting (unless excused by the instructor with prior notice,) and arrive on time. Two late arrivals are equivalent to one absence. More than 2 absences will result in a failing grade for the class. Absences for medical reasons must be accompanied by a doctor’s note. If it is necessary to be absent from class you must notify the instructor. More than two absences even with reasonable excuse require that you make an appointment with the instructor to discuss your progress in the class.
• Assignments must be complete and on time. Late assignments will only be accepted up to one week after the due date. Late assignments will be assessed the loss of one grade. After the one-week grace period, late assignments will not be accepted.
• Students must do assigned readings and participate in class discussions and collaborations.
• Students must participate in critiques of projects, providing feedback about other students’ work. Projects are considered complete at the start of class on critique days.
• Students who are having apparent difficulties in the course will be asked to arrange to meet with the instructor.

Bring a writable CD if you want to back your work up. This is highly advisable — lost files will not be allowed as an excuse.
