FASH 57 Fabric Glossary

COURSE POLICIES

Attendance

Due to the COVID -19 virus, Fash 57 Fabric Glossary is being taught online on Canvas. The class starts March 3-24, 2023, and is a completely online meeting face-2-face on Zoom Friday from 1:10 pm- 3:15 pm. It is required that you must have frequent access to an internet-connected computer to navigate this course successfully.

You will be expected to log onto Canvas every Monday evening, where the modules will be open at 1:00 pm unless otherwise stated. There will be weekly assignments with deadlines ending at 11:59 p.m. unless otherwise stated. You will need to download any supplemental handouts, upload assignments, read websites pertaining to class materials, share your cultural experiences, and adhere to due dates.

Regular class attendance is expected and strongly encouraged. Please make plans to attend every Face-2-Face Zoom Meeting, arrive on time, and be ready to give your full attention to every class session. Students who fail to attend the first two weeks of classes will be dropped from the class. It is strongly advised that if you need to miss more than one class/homework deadline in a row, you communicate via email to avoid being dropped from the class.

You will be expected to conduct yourself professionally, including civil conduct, ethical behavior, and participation in class discussions. Classroom behavior must not interfere with the instructor’s ability to conduct the class or the ability of other students to learn.

GRADING POLICY

There are no points for homework reading assignments. However, it is in your best interest to do the reading, which you will see on the quizzes and final exam.

Your work will be reviewed, and I will make sure to comment on it within 72 hours of the due date unless it says otherwise. Rubrics will be used for written assignments and discussions. I will give you more thorough feedback when you need it in written or audio format so you can improve on assignments as we progress. I will participate in weekly discussions, but will not respond to each student. I will post announcements throughout the semester. Canvas notifies students based on their preferred email address as soon as I send the announcement.

This is a 1-credit course that requires 3 hours of work a week. You will spend approximately 1-2 hours reading and1-3 hours on forums, discussions, peer reviews, slide presentations, quizzes, and the final exam. Missed assignment due dates cannot be made up unless there are extenuating circumstances with the instructor’s approval.

Grades in the course will be assigned as follows:

A= 90% B=80% C= 70% D= 60% F=50%

Methods of Evaluation

You will be evaluated on forum discussions, quizzes, slideshow assignments, course feedback, class projects, oral presentations, and the final exam.

Late Policy

This course is not self-paced, all assignments have due dates, please adhere to them. LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Absolutely NO late assignments or projects will be accepted except those with an excused absence (must have proper documentation of illness or family emergency). Any work that is not turned in on time or early will not be accepted and will receive a grade of 0 in the grade book.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WITHDRAWALS:

Our goal is for all of our students to complete their classes successfully. However, please be aware that there are new restrictions at the state level in allowing repeat attempts to take a course, regardless of the grade received from a course. There is no longer general repeatability, and there are limitations on the number of attempts a student may make to take the course for a passing grade. "W," "D," or "F," grade entries on the transcript all count as attempts to take a course. If a student fails or withdraws from a course, a student may have up to two more opportunities to take the course for a passing grade, but will not be allowed again should they fail or withdraws on his/her third attempt even if the student has not exhausted all four attempts. Therefore, if you feel that you will not be able to commit to a course of a given semester, it is best to communicate with your instructor early and drop the course before a "W" (withdrawal) may be recorded for the semester. International students should be aware that they need a minimum of 12 academic units throughout any given semester to maintain their student visas. Therefore, withdrawing from a class and the subsequent loss of units may result in the loss of a student visa to the United States.

Accommodations

Students with disabilities who need academic accommodations should request them from the Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS) via email at DSPSacom@ccsf.edu or leave a message on their normal business line (415. 452.5481). They do also have a fax number (415.561.1040), that the staff can access remotely. As it stands right now, there will be no in-person services at their offices until further notice on when students can return to campus.

Standards of Conduct

Students who register in CCSF classes are required to abide by the CCSF Student Code of Conduct. Violation of the code is the basis for referral to the Student Conduct Coordinator or dismissal from class or from the College. See the Office of Student Affairs and Wellness.

Collaborating on or copying tests or homework in whole or in part will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and result in a grade of 0 for that test or assignment. I encourage students to share information and ideas, but not their work. See these links on Plagiarism:
