Work:
A class website is in place for you to upload your work weekly prior to class meeting time. This site is to be used for project presentations. Technical questions ask TA.
Attendance:
Classes will start on time at 2:00 pm sharp.
If you are 15 minutes late you will be marked tardy.
Every tardy is a half grade point down on your final grade.
If you are later than 15 min. you'll be marked absent.
Every (unexcused) absence is 1 letter grade down. From A to B. Not from A+ to A.
3 unexcused absences result in failed class.
Grading system:
Each class you will be evaluated on the following:
* 25% research
* 25% design
* 25% presentation
* 25% class participation
Your final grade is the average of all grades in combination with your attendance records.
Research:
Each class meeting, bring your research documentation in US letter format: 8.5 × 11 (horizontal or vertical). Create a pdf file and upload it onto the class website prior to class meeting for presentation.
All presentations, analog and/or digital must be ready by 2:00 pm promptly. Meticulous organization, clear professional layout design and articulate presentations are expected.
Project Presentations:
Throughout the term, be consistent with your presentation style and format.
