Q: Do I turn in thumbnails?
A: Yes, at the beginning of the graded Critique (C2) or I lower your
grade, even if you did them and show them to me later. If for
what ever reason you are not to turn them in, I will state that
on the class "Weeklies" otherwise assume that they
are required.
Q: Is there any excuse for turning in work late?
A: Yes, but the reasons are so horrible, I don't want to bring them up.We
will have to talk.
Q: Even if I am just
seconds late for C2, my grade is reduced.
A: Yes.
Q: Why am I graded
by my classmates and or visiting guests during the Graded Critique?
A: In this class you are never given a grade by anyone other than the
instructor. Classmates fill out a Peer Review for you at Critique 1 in
order to help you produce a better communication for the graded critique
C2. At the C2 critique you are given additional feedback by the class
and sometimes outside
guests
in
order to improve the piece for your portfolio should you want to do that.
Only I, your friendly, hardly-ever-forgiving instructor appends a grade
to that form, adding additional information to it and returning it to
you
(ideally)
by the
following
week.
Students
with Disabilities
Students with disabilities are requested to present their Columbia accommodation
letters to their instructor at the beginning of the semester so that accommodations
can be
arranged in a timely manner by the College, the department or the faculty member,
as appropriate. Students with disabilities who do not have accommodation letters
should visit the office of Services for Students with Disabilities in room 520
of the Congress building (312.344.8134/V or 312.360.0767/TTY). It is incumbent
upon the students to know their responsibilities in this regard.
