Your final grade will be based on the successful completion of ALL studio and writing projects, participation in the discussions about the readings, participation in the critique process, attendance, work habits, craft, completion each of the project's requirements, as well as the willingness push oneself and to take risks.  ALL PROJECTS MUST BE COMPLETED TO GET A PASSING GRADE.
 
ALL projects must be turned in on time, as specified in the syllabus.  If you foresee that you will not be able to meet the project deadline you must discuss this with myself prior to the due date, keeping in mind that your grade will drop 1/2 letter grade each class meeting that it is late.  I do not place written grades on your work.  Therefore it is up to you to request a review of the grades that you have received for any particular project and to see that your attendance is accurate. 
 
 
50% of the grade will be based on all completed lab projects and writing assignments
 
25%  of the grade will be based on the student's ability to take direction, attitude, and to participate in critiques and discussions.  There will be an evaluation of the student's individual growth conducted by the instructor and the student.
 
25%  of the grade will be based on attendance:
0 absences = A, 1 absence = B, 2 absences = C, 3 absences = F
3 late or early leave = 1 absence
 
C-(C minus) does not contribute to the CORE requirements.
C means that the student's work meets the basic objectives of the project and is crafted satisfactorily.
B means Above Average and well crafted.
A means EXCELLENT work, very well crafted, and the concept, content, and form have been pushed through several permutations to reach fruition.

Assignment 4: Rough Cuts Screenings DUE-4/7

See description of the final project.

Assignment 5: FINAL CRITIQUE -DUE 5/1 & 5/3

The theme of the final project is up to you. It can use sections of the previous projects and it can take whatever form you wish. It can be narrative, experimental, installation based or if you have the chops, interactive. Again the only restriction is that it cannot use music unless it comes from a diagetic source. The reasons for this our many, but can be summed up by simply stating that music is a crutch that conceals shoddy crafstmanship.
