Students are assessed by their engagement and efforts in the studio, as well as by completing all research assignments and projects. Please observe that the brevity of the semester, and amount of information disseminated in the class warrants a strong attendance record; missing a single day means missing key elements that likely cannot be repeated or made up. I.e. participation and attendance is critical to a successful completion of the course. If you must miss a class due to emergency, please notify the instructor beforehand (if possible), and then make arrangements for getting caught up, or gaining back credit for a missed assignment or review. You will be dropped if you miss more than three classes.
Diversity and Civility Statement
The RISD community is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and learning for all students. We value diversity and find strength in the differences we represent. Thus we should aim to be open to the views of people different than ourselves. All criticism in this class should be spoken professionally, yet openly, and with honest regard for others, in an effort to improve our collective practice. Attacking or demeaning personal attributes will never be tolerated. Please honor these values and help affirm respect for the rights and well-being of our fellow classmates.
