Grading: My grading system works as follows. Please consider these numbers indisputable.A= 100-90, B= 89-80, C= 79-70, D= 69-60 F= 59-0Grading Breakdown:Class participation and blog participation: 15%Quizzes and paper 35%Midterm Exam 25%Final Exam 25%I will not drop the lowest grade of any quiz. My thoughts on this are, if I were to drop any gradethat reflects what you learn or don’t learn in this class; what would be the point in giving a quizin the first place? No worries though, I will offer a few extra credit opportunities.Attendance and lateness will be factored into the final gradeExtra Credit: I will add extra credit assignments throughout the semester through the classblog. The extra credit will vary in its weight depending on the assignment. Some exampleswould be short papers discussing a gallery opening or show at a local gallery, art projects, orwriting short essays on a given topic.Art Across Time, 4 th edition, Volume II, The Fourteenth Century to the Present, by LaurieSchneider Adams, 2011.DO NOT DELAY IN ACQUIRING THIS TEXT. Purchasing earlier editions may save youmoney but if we have an assignment from the book and you miss something from the bookbecause it wasn’t printed in your version, the onus would be on you.Classroom Conduct: Students are expected to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.Anything otherwise is disrespectful to yourselves, your peers, your faculty, and the educationalendeavor.1. Conversing is unacceptable. It is both distracting to those seated nearby and disruptive to theprofessor. You will be warned. You will then be asked to leave. If you are asked to leave, youwill be marked as absent and penalized accordingly.2. Cell phone/PDA/PSP/DS/etc. use is prohibited. Claiming the cell phone as your only personaltimepiece is not substantial. Texting is forbidden. If your phone rings, the professor reserves theright to answer the call. Those who do not abide will be warned, then asked to leave, with theaforementioned attendance penalty.
