Syllabus

This course is intensive and will require regular attendance, punctuality and timely completion of all in-class and out-of-class activities/assignments for successful completion.

• All assignments will be submitted through the Moodle classroom.
• Assignments must be labelled with first and last name. A student number is required if you share the same name as another student in this class.
• Assignments are due at the posted date and time. Late assignments will receive a mark of “0”.

Much of what we learn about visual art is done in the presence of others, so attendance in class is highly important for successful completion of this course. If you cannot come to class, please inform me by email and have a classmate collect information for you on that day. While I may quickly summarize the contents of a missed class, I will not go over lectures or information in detail for students who are absent from a class.

You and your peers are working hard to learn and succeed in school. To make this a positive learning environment, it is important that we all show respect for one another by understanding and adhering to the following expectations:

• Keep all cell phones on silent or vibrate during class. If you must respond to an emergency call or text, please quietly leave the room to do so.
• Participate fully and enthusiastically in all classroom activities.
• Keep language and attitude professional at all times, even in cases of disagreement.
• Arrive on time. If you arrive after class has started, please enter the room quietly, out of respect for people who are presenting.
• Take notes during presentations to develop questions and discussion for the presenter.

Students are expected to conduct themselves with academic integrity and in accordance with CNC's established standards of conduct. Penalties for misconduct, including plagiarism, cheating and personal misconduct are outlined in the Standards of Conduct: Student Responsibility and Accountability document found in the policies section of CNC's website. All students should familiarize themselves with this document.

Reference all works of inspiration in an attached Works Referenced Document for each project using MLA formatting. Never assume that work needs to be perfect. As a student learning unfamiliar concepts, you are expected to learn and try. An original idea is better than a copied idea. When using others' work for inspiration be sure to give credit to the original artist.

Students will be informed when their work may be in violation of the Academic Conduct Policy. The instructor will request a summary of the student's misconduct history (if any) from the Office of the Registrar. Consequences range from a grade of zero on the work to a failing grade in the course. On a second offence of plagiarism the student may be removed from the program or receive a suspension from the college.
