GRADING
Each student is graded on an individual basis. No cross-class comparisons will be made. I grade on my expectations of you and your growth as an individual.
Your total grade will be broken down in the following way:
50% Projects
50% Work Grades (Daily Points)
1st Quarter 45% of final grade
2nd Quarter 45% of final grade
Final Test being 10% of the final grade = 100% for a semester
Note: In an average five-day week, 100 work grade points are possible (20 points each day). If you exhibit inappropriate behavior, waste class time, misuse supplies, etc., you are subject to lose points. YOUR WORK GRADE IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF YOUR GRADE-DO NOT TAKE IT LIGHTLY!!!
*LATE WORK:
1 day late - 5 points
2 days late - 10 points
3 days late - 15 points
4 days late - 20 points
5 days late - 25 points
6 days late - 0 points
** These points will be subtracted from what the student earns on their project. Example: If a student's work is that of a grade: 85/100, and it is 2 days late, minus 10 points, resulting in a new grade of 75/100 for the assignment.
Your projects will be graded with the following criteria in mind:
Effort- this means always striving for your personal best
Craftsmanship- you have taken your time and done a careful job
Creativity/Originality- you have developed your own idea and not copied someone else's
Following instructions- you have met the criteria outlined for each assignment
Grade Scale
A - 100-92
B - 91-83
C - 82-74
D - 73-65
F - 64-00
LAB FEES/ART KIT
Approximate cost of supplies and materials is $35.00.
