Weekly Process & ParticipationBecause we do not have projects due each week, you will receive a weekly process and participation grade.

At the end of each week you will receive a grade out of 20 points based on an assessment of your participation and work ethic in each class.

In order for your skills to improve in this course, you must gain an understanding of the information provided and practice the techniques and processes introduced. Class time is provided to learn these skills and it is essential you use this time wisely.

The weekly grade is meant to reflect the credit you have earned for the skills you demonstrate within your studio time.

Weekly Grade, 20 ptsDuring class you have exceeded expectations and excelled in your effort. You complete your class assignments and begin research or preparations for upcoming projects, help your peers, thoroughly clean your area, etc. (19-20 pts)
