Instructor: Mrs. Florence Bommarito
Computer Art Studio
Office Phone: 513-4375
Attendance: Class attendance
is required. This class meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:00
p.m. each week. Missing lectures, demonstrations, speakers, critiques
and lab discussions interrupts the continuity of the course thus placing
you in jeopardy of failing the course. Missing Four (4) or more scheduled
class sessions over the term of the semester will greatly reduce your
success in meeting the class expectations and can adversely effect your
final grade. Therefore you are responsible for all material covered during
all class sessions. You should contact your i nstructor prior to a class
session if you will miss. A phone call and brief voice message will suffice.
In the event you accumulate excessive absence, you should make an appointment
with your instructor to discuss the options that may be available to correct
the problem.
If you are late to a class session, it is your responsibility to see the
instructor by the end of that class session to make sure the daily attendance
record will reflect your presence. No adjustments will be made to attendance
records after the class date. During the next weeks you must treat your
participation in this class with the professional commitment of employment
in a design studio.
Grades/Tests: The quality of work in industry is defined by the effort
put forward, the background and research developed, the critical thinking
applied to the problem to formulate solutions, and the execution of the
final product. In keeping with these industry standards, your grade represents
the overall quality of the work you perform during the semester. Your
grade will be the combined result of your individual class projects, project
presentations, classroom work, classroom critiques, class participation,
class attendance, all field trip attendance, written test and research
and preliminary drawings as assigned. There will be required reading.
Deadline dates for each project will be provided. All assignments MUST
be completed and submitted for grading. Tests dates will be assigned at
least one (1) class session prior to the test date. You will have ample
notice of each test, therefore, except for extremely unusual situations.
No Make Up Test will be given. Attitude: Students are expected to attend
class session with a Professional Work Ethic, Work Attitude, and be prepared
for class. The Materials (Supplies and project information, scrap, and
reference) are brought to every class session. (See "Statement of Expected
Student Classroom Behavior" and the Arts Department's "Requirements to
Successfully Complete a Course" handouts.
