You will receive details of how you interact in the course in the tab marked "Course Pattern".
Expectations:
Plan to spend at least 12 hours a week working on the assignments. Students are responsible for gaining access to a scanner and learning how to use it to scan their artworks. All drawings will be scanned and submitted (Instructions on how to submit will be given in Intro lesson). Students need to have a Google account to post their work and interact with classmates. If you need help creating a Google account, follow this link to a tutorial: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Google-Account. If you need instructions on how to create/edit a Google-doc, follow this link to a tutorial: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/49114?hl=en.
Note: All submitted drawings may be used as examples in future ART 110 classes.
Required Materials:
No textbook is required - all reading material is found in the text of this course.
Students must purchase the "110 Art Kit" from the University bookstore for this course.
Grading Policies:
Allow at least 1 week for the instructor to grade the student’s work. Grades are based on how a student completes Assignments and participates in peer-to-peer feedback/discussions. Rubrics will be used to grade the assignments and final drawings. This constitutes 100% of the grading criteria.
Late Work: 1day late: -10%; 2-4 days late: -20%; 4 or more days late: -50%
Contact the Instructor if there are extenuating circumstances.
If work is posted by the due-date, students that receive a low grade on any assignment can re-do it and receive a higher grade. Your final grade for that assignment will be the higher of the two grades.
