TIMELY AND SUCCESSFUL PROGRESSION THROUGH THE COURSE The course is an online course, but there are set due dates and deadlines established to ensure you are meeting objectives and staying on track to complete the course successfully. Assignments must be completed in a progressive framework. Certain assignments within the week must be completed as a prerequisite to the next assignment within the week's module, because they prepare you for the next assignment. The progression is as follows: 1. The QUIZ is completed FIRST if a quiz is scheduled, to give the student the opportunity to cover the topic or periods of the week and forming the foundation for the assignments that are based on them. a. Submitting the QUIZ for the week by the DUE DATE (Fridays), and earning a score of at least 80% earns the student 5 extra credit points (points added to the score after instructor reviews the quiz). Submitting the QUIZ after Friday and by the ALLOW UNTIL DATE, which is the last date for submitting, earns standard set points or earned points. 2. The Comparisons of Modern and Historic Fashion is completed after the quiz for the reason listed above. You must review the scheduled chapter or chapters to complete the assignment. 3. The Weekly Discussion Topic must be completed before the student can progress to the next week s assignments successfully. You must review the scheduled chapter or chapters to complete the assignment. 4. Assignments relating to the Midterm and Final Projects will also have deadlines. LATE WORK (After the Allow Until date and time), IF ACCEPTED by the instructor, will have grade penalties beginning with 10% deductions for missing the deadline and an additional 10% for each day late after the deadline. Submitting work one week or more after the due date will be at the instructor s discretion and will be evaluated on an individual basis, in consideration of the circumstances. DO NOT EMAIL ANY ASSIGNMENTS WITHOUT INSTRUCTOR S PERMISSION. It will NOT be accepted. Grading Scale: The criteria for determining a student s grade shall be as follows (on a percentage of total points basis): A 100-93 A- 92-90 B+ 89-87 B 86-83 B- 82-80 C+ 79-77 C 76-73 C- 72-70 D+ 69-67 D 66-60 F 59 or below Please Note: El Camino utilizes a only A, B, C, D, and F in their system. The + or listed above informs you of the range in each category, which helps you know where you stand and what percentage to aim for to obtain the minimum grade you want to achieve. 3
REQUIRED ASSIGNMENTS, and Grade Points and Percentages (Total Points and Percentages are Approximate) Quizzes: 30% = 200 +/- points Quizzes to evaluate comprehension of course topics and terminology. Quizzes will cover the 19 chapters of the textbook. There will be 1 or more chapters covered in each quiz during the 16-week semester. There will be approximately 10 or more multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions in the quizzes per chapter. Comparisons of Modern and Historic Fashion: 30% = 180 +/- points Videos and slideshows of fashion from current designers will be evaluated and compared to historic fashion of each period. The instructor will be present the current fashions for students to evaluate and explain how and why certain modern styles reflect details and styles from historic fashion. Midterm Project: 15% = 100 Points Designer Research Project Research and produce a project about a designer of the 20 th and 21 st centuries. The designer s history and contribution to fashion will be presented. The research will also include how historic and current themes, mentors, and fashion professionals may have influenced the designer.

Final Project: 15% = 100 Points Modern Fashion Reflecting Historic Period - Create and present a well-organized and creative project reflecting an understanding of how modern fashion styles are influenced by the styles of early periods in history. Students will select one period and three designers and show how each designer has created fashions reflecting details and styles of fashion from the historic period. The presentation will include one slide for each designer s fashion from a particular seasonal fashion line. Several images will be included for each designer s slide. A different theme will be used for each slide and creatively formatted to reflect an advertising page or poster. A sample of the project will be provided with the guidelines. Weekly Discussions: Class Participation & Attendance: 10-12% = 80 +/- points Class participation and attendance are a requirement for the course. The completion of Graded Weekly Discussion Topics will be used as a learning tool as well as a method for monitoring your attendance and participation. The topics are related to the weekly course subject. o Active participation in weekly discussion postings in a timely manner will confirm your attendance and is an opportunity to communicate and share your thoughts on assigned topics with classmates. o State mandates require the monitoring and documenting of a student s active participation in Distance Education courses, which will confirm it is not a correspondence course. My Expectations of YOU: Show up weekly and keep up with your scheduled assignments deadlines and due dates. A time and date is implemented for each assignment. There is a DUE DATE and an ALLOW UNTIL date. The computer system will consider you late when you do not submit assignments by the DUE DATE, but you are actually late after the ALLOW UNTIL date. Keeping up with the schedule will ensure your success with the course. Complete assignments on time and in the required file format requested. Present high quality work you are proud of presenting. Remember your work is a representation of who you are or aspire to be in the future. 4
Honesty when completing assignments and quizzes is required. Do your own work. Do not plagiarize (copy or use illegally). COPYING AND PASTING text from the text book or other sources is plagiarizing. ALWAYS COMMUNICATE with the instructor whenever there are questions or concerns regarding class assignments. USE PRIVATE MESSAGES (PMS) to contact me, your instructor. Contact me earlier, not later when you realize you have problems with the class. Your opportunity to make arrangements to make up work, due to situations that have developed to cause you to get behind in your responsibilities is dependent on you making immediate efforts to talk to me. INCOMPLETES will not be considered unless you have completed passing work through the midterm of the class. You will have to follow the college s guidelines for removing an incomplete. ONLINE CLASS GROUND RULES: Attendance: Your attendance and active participation will be documented by a weekly, graded Discussion Topic I will post, to be responded to by you and your classmates. Communication: It is very important for us to communicate with each other. I will post announcements, discussions, and send private messages whenever necessary. You should check in on Mondays for announcements, which will let you know about upcoming events and activities. When you log into our class web site you will also see notices of new discussions and private messages on the first page. Please check them for current information. Discussions and Private Messages: Be specific and give direct details, which can be read easily. Send short complete messages, not short stories. Take time to review your message before you send it to insure you haven t misspelled words and that you have explained yourself as clearly as possible. Proper Grammar and Spelling are important. Use PRIVATE MESSAGES for communicating with the instructor to ensure a timely response. Messages sent to the El Camino email may result in delayed responses. DO NOT send Private Messages or Emails with an assignment attached unless the instructor gives you permission. YOU CAN ONLY SUBMIT ASSIGNMENTS IN THOSE FORMATS IF THE INSTRUCTOR GIVES PERMISSION. They WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED without permission. That means you must send a message, asking for consideration and permission. Assignments, Quizzes, and Activities: Check due dates and deadline times to help pace yourself and insure you are not late. Submitting the QUIZ for the week by the DUE DATE (Fridays), and earning a score of at least 80% earns the student 5 extra credit points (points added to the score after instructor reviews the quiz). Submitting QUIZ after Friday by the ALLOW UNTIL DATE, which is the last date for submitting, earns standard set points or earned points. Assignments must be submitted in the required format. Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated, and will result in an automatic fail in the course. You may be subject to more severe discipline from the college. Honest, ethical, and respectful behavior is expected of each student. Course Schedule of Activities begins on the following page. 5
