Through professional communication, I also have the opportunity to learn about and better understand students. I don’t grade students solely based on their output but also consider their complex circumstances, available resources, and individual learning paces, facilitating reasonable opportunities for them to catch up and stay on track with the course.

Class:

participation in class (discussion) and attendance rates

performance in assignment and following the class design structure

process documentation and well written reflection

• Assignments must be submitted by the specified due date and time. Late submissions will not be accepted and will result in a grade of zero for that assignment unless accompanied by an official or reasonable excuse.
• If you anticipate any difficulty in meeting a deadline, it is imperative that you discuss this with me at least 48 hours before the due date.
• Exceptions to this policy are rare and are made only for documented emergencies or pre-approved accommodations.
• This is to guarantee that fair opportunities are distributed among classmates and to emphasize the importance of your time management.

Final Project

In this course, you have learned the most critical elements and processes of design, from idea development to the final iteration stage, to empower yourself in developing your final project as artists and designers. Your task is to reflect on and internalize this process and knowledge, and channel them into your work. That is what the final project is about, and that's how I will evaluate it.

Your creative process in documentation (performance) and involvement are crucial aspects of your grade. This final project is a culmination of the design skills you've acquired in this class. Therefore, your documentation will reflect that. In terms of grading, I've emphasized that grade disputes won't be considered if you don't fulfill your responsibilities. So give it your all, and your completed work will demonstrate your efforts.
