Make-up Policy:

Students need to complete any work missed by the next class period, or by instructor arrangement.

Grading / Evaluation Policy:

Depending on the course, the instructor will supply a point based grading system or a scoring rubric to set “a standard of performance” to communicate the expectations of quality around specific exercises or projects.

In order to receive a grade for the course, all projects and exercises must be completed and received on the server by the end of the quarter. In order to receive a passing grade, at least one project has to meet the final technology due date.

Exercises are due at the deadlines; exercises submitted more than two weeks after the deadline will receive a grade of 0.0

Field trips are mandatory, and count as an exercise grade. Failure to attend field trip is a 0.0 grade.

Some courses are in sequence. If you receive a failing grade in a course, you may have to come back the following year to complete the SFCC Graphic Design A.A.S. degree.

Note: This course syllabus is only for the quarter listed above and the faculty may make appropriate changes. Also, future syllabi for this course may be different.
