Arriving Late & Being Tardy for Critiques
Just a reminder of what was given to everyone at the beginning of the semester regarding being late or tardy to announced critiques as described on the course syllabus. There are no exceptions since I have to treat everyone equally regarding absences and tardiness. I did call roll at 2:45p prior to starting the final critique on Monday April 27th.
If you have any questions please read the class syllabus.
http://seniorportfolio2015.blogspot.com/2015/01/grd4950-graphic-design-portfolio-ctw.html
__________________________________________________________________________________2015 Critiques:
All students must learn to discuss their work during critiques, as they would have to do in a business/client working relationship. Students will also be required to submit a creative brief along with all the work due at class critiques. Students should learn the art of discussion about their creative work in a classroom environment. Written creative briefs will accompany every project and should be turned in on time. These creative briefs should be kept short and precise.
All work at critiques must be printouts unless otherwise noted by the Instructor. No excuses.
If you have any questions please read the class syllabus.

There will be minimal amount of critiques. Most times
the professor will critique one-on-one with the senior designer.
However, there will be announced deadlines and
critiques that everyone must attend and participate in as part of the
curriculum set forth by the Instructor. Do not miss or be late for critiques
because it is as if you didn’t participate if you are either late or tardy.
(Tardy means coming in after the critique has started.)
2015 Deadlines:
Each assignment will have sufficient time allotted in order to compete the necessary work prior to critiques. A completion date (deadline) will be announced at the beginning of each assignment and documented on the syllabus. Deadlines are usually accompanied by an in-class critique. All finished work is due at the announced deadline regardless of whether or not the student is present or not at the critique. Failure to complete projects by due date will result in an automatic “F” for the project regardless of how much time and effort might have been put into the project. One of the most important aspects of becoming a professional graphic designer is managing time in order to complete each assignment. Learn how to manage your time now and the future will be much less stressful and more creative.

“Late” means that once the critique has begun you will
be considered to be “late.”
Everyone is given ample time to arrive to class on time. A critique will begin once a majority of students have arrived.
Meeting a deadline is crucial to the understanding of personal time management and professional standards in the industry.

Meeting a deadline is crucial to the understanding of personal time management and professional standards in the industry.
Time management works in tandem with creativity. True
understanding of time management increases you productivity, thus eliminating
stress at critiques. Build in prep time for printing and any possible snafus
that may occur with each project. Think ahead and be prepared. This includes
drive time to class, production problems, sickness, weather conditions, and
other emergencies that may arise unexpectedly.
* If a student foresees a problem with a due date/deadline it is the student’s responsibility to contact the Instructor prior to the critique. Communication with the Instructor is important if any problem arises regarding any course situation.

2015 Absences:
Every student is expected to arrive on time and leave at the end of each class period. This is also important on the days when critiques are scheduled. Arriving late and leaving early may be considered absences. It depends on when the Instructor takes roll and if the student is late or leaves early when the roll is taken then the Instructor will consider the student “absent”. Students are allowed 3 absences (this includes unexcused/excused) per Semester. The Instructor will issue a warning after the 3rd absence (email and verbal) to the student. For every absence after the 3rd absence the student’s final grade for the semester will be lowered by 1 letter grade. Please understand this important part of the grading process. There is no negotiation in this area. Habits student’s form early on inside a classroom usually follow them into the professional world. Learn to make good choices and habits now.

2015 Tardiness:
Students who arrive after the critique has begun will
receive an “F” unless the student has discussed it with the professor prior to
the beginning of the class. Unexcused absences and habitual tardiness (arriving
late and leaving early) is usually evidence that the student is not taking the
course seriously or not focused on completing the projects set forth in this
course syllabi. Each student is allowed 3 absences before the final
grade is lowered one letter grade for each additional absence. Tardy means coming to class after it has started.
Below is the email reminder that I sent out on Sunday May 26th at 7:59pm to everyone in the class regarding the final critique.
FINAL EMAIL FROM SENIOR PORTFOLIO
Tomorrow is the final day in Senior Portfolio!]
Your "7 Deadly Sins" Final Critique will start at 2:30 so don't be late since we have to get through all of them.
Your packaged 7 Deadly Sins plus your printed creative brief.
Each of you will present your work and then take them with you afterwards.
Also, please make sure you have updated your blogs/websites with all the assignments you've completed this semester in Senior Portfolio.
I'm not asking for a CD/DVD of those assignments from you but instead I will pull the images from your website/blogs.
If you would rather burn me a CD/DVD that fine. I need these by Wednesday no later.
If you haven't put your large scale "7 Deadly Sin" on the Sharedspace then do so on Monday otherwise it will not be printed.
