Attendance

Assignments
Attendance and active participation is required. Contact me if you cannot attend. As much as possible, we will limit the assigned work to what we can accomplish in class. That’s why it’s important that you be here every week.

Assessment: Completion of all assignments is required to pass this course. All assignments will be reviewed in class to assess student progress toward achieving the course outcomes. Regular consultations with the instructor will serve as the student’s source of evaluation, assessments, and feedback throughout the term. Students will submit all assignments at the end of the quarter for final evaluation. Each project will be assessed according to expectations for individual students, based on the expertise they possess at the beginning of the class. DEMONSTRATE PROGRESS. The goal of each project is to demonstrate that you know HOW to do what was covered in class, regardless of how elaborate your execution may be. “Complete” is irrelevant.

Interior Design 195: SketchUp Your involvement and attention in class lectures and discussions is required to pass this class. You may be sharing your SketchUp work with other members of the class, as well as me, so you must have work to present each week that demonstrates your progress. RESPONSIVENESS: Please let me know if you have difficulty understanding an assignment. If you have specific concerns with the expectations of the class, your work, or the method of instruction, bring them to my attention. I will do my best to make sure you understand the requirements of the class. I expect students to take advantage of my office hours to cover personal issues relating to the course. If you have questions about how you are doing in class, make an appointment to talk with me. Do not expect such consultations before, during, or immediately after class.
SPECIAL NEEDS: If you require accommodation based on a documented disability, emergency medical information to share, or need special arrangements in case of emergency evacuation, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible. If you would like to inquire about accommodations and counseling you may call 564-2498 or go in person to the DRC (Disability Resources Center) in B132.
