See exam schedule for Presentation date for Final Composition Project Grades During the term, Project Grades will be given using a +/- scale to help give you greater clarity. Grades scaled below a C are not acceptable in the School of Art and Design as fulfilling the requirements of the course. Note: Class participation, as evidenced through open discussion with classmates on assignments, presentations, etc. as well as in conversation during desk critiques, will determine if decimals, resulting from averages, will be rounded up to the next nearest point for final grades. Note that grades below a C are not acceptable in the School of Art and Design to fulfill the requirements of the course and thus require a retake of the course. Deadlines All students are required to meet course deadlines. Late work will not be accepted unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as those mentioned above under the paragraph on attendance. Make-up arrangements are the responsibility of the student and should be made with the instructor. Evaluation All projects will be evaluated on a variety of factors those include but are not limited to did you meet the object set in the brief, did you implement your concept creatively, are your project boards professional in their quality, and was your oral presentation clear and effective. All project grades will be returned promptly and accompanied with constructive comments intended to help you in your next project. No project is ever perfect or without potential for further improvement. Final Grades will be a calculated per the following criteria: Assignment Weight Research, Concept Inspiration, and Location Photos 4% Design Sketches 4% Conceptual Massing 10% Revit Design Options 12% Component Family 10% Revit Rendering 12% Grading A Excellent B Good C Satisfactory D Minimal <60 F Failing

4 Assignment Weight Revit to Max Visualization 11% Lighting Study Visualization 12% Final Composition 20% Participation 5% Attendance TOTAL 100% Class attendance is required. Each three (3) unexcused absences will result in the lowering of the final grade by one letter grade. Failure to come to class with adequate materials for producing work will result in a recorded absence for that day. Failure to arrive on time will be recorded as half an absence, so for example, arriving late to class twice during the term will be recorded as one absence. Similarly, leaving class early will be recorded as half an absence. Roll will be taken at the beginning of each class. Information missed due to tardiness or absence will be the responsibility of the student. Absences may be excused due to illness, religious holidays or other extreme circumstances as defined by the University, but it is the student s responsibility to notify the instructor and to give a written excuse as required by the University. Refer to the Undergraduate Catalog for other relevant information regarding absences. Security Statement Georgia State University and the Welch School of Art and Design have installed punch code locks to make our buildings safer for students and faculty. You should treat any lab or studio under card lock as a secure space. As such, GSU and the Welch School of Art and Design ask that you abide by the following guidelines to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone: 1. Always have your GSU ID card with you when on campus. 2. Never allow anyone to use your card. If a student or member of the staff or faculty is authorized to be in the area, their cards will give them access. If anyone asks for your card, report the incident to campus police immediately. 3. Always report suspicious people or activity to the faculty or graduate student in charge of the studio or lab. If, for any reason, there is no faculty or graduate student supervision, report suspicious people or activity to campus police ( ) 4. Never try to enter a studio or lab by piggybacking on someone else. For example, if someone is entering the lab or studio before you, do not try to get through the door while it is open. Wait for the door to close and then punch in the code again to gain entry. Similarly, do not allow someone else to come through with you. It can be tempting to hold the door open for someone whose hands are full with equipment, etc. This practice, however, is not secure and can put everyone at risk. Wanting to help is good, but be smart about it. Disruptive Student Behavior Disruptive student behavior is student behavior in a classroom or other learning environment (to include both on and off-campus locations), which disrupts the educational process. Disruptive class* behavior for this purpose is defined by the instructor. Such behavior includes, but is not limited to, verbal or physical threats, repeated obscenities, unreasonable interference with class discussion, making/receiving personal phone calls, text messages or pages during class, excessive tardiness, leaving and entering class frequently in the absence of notice to instructor of illness or other extenuating circumstances, and persisting in disruptive personal conversations with other class members. For purposes of this policy, it may also be considered disruptive behavior for a student to exhibit threatening, intimidating, or other inappropriate behavior toward the instructor or classmates outside of class. See the following link for additional information on this policy within the Georgia State University Student Handbook: pdfrnw Students with Disabilities Students who wish to request accommodation for a disability may do so by registering with the Office of Disability Services. Visit for more information. Students may only be accommodated upon issuance by the Office of Disability Services of a signed Accommodation Plan and are responsible for providing a copy of that plan to instructors of all classes in which accommodations are sought.

5 Academic Honesty and Integrity Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards. Any and all cheating, including plagiarism, will not be tolerated and will result in an automatic grade of F for the course. Refer to as well as the Faculty Affairs Handbook at and the Undergraduate Catalog for specific regulations at Retention of Work The School of Art & Design has the right to retain any student project, whether it be for display, accreditation, documentation, or any other educational or legal purpose.
