Attendance is necessary for all students to get feedback and perchance develop insight into their portfolio. Thus in this course each absence is a negative point. The course has a total of 100 points.
An overall 65 percent of the total evaluation points will be considered minimal passing with a required minimum of 50% of EACH aspects of the class being necessary, but not sufficient to pass the class.

In this course you are being graded as an individual and you must do your own work.  Evaluations of collaborative work will be in part your contribution to the task as well as the overall execution of the work.  Academic dishonesty will result in failure for the assignment and may result in failure for the entire course.  See University policies:  Academic Honesty and Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

Assignments in this class are presented each week in the scheduled lecture period.  If you are not present you will not receive credit for the assignment, presentation and participation for that week as well as receive a negative point for the absence.

There are no late assignments.  If you miss an assignment due date because of illness or emergency, you must present verifying written documentation. 

FurloughsTop of Page

Due to the state budget crisis the California State University system has incurred a substantial fiscal reduction. To address the funding shortfall, the university will be closed several times this semester (Tuesday 8 September, Thursday 15 October and Monday 2 November) and faculty will be required to have furloughed during the semester. On furlough day the faculty are required not to do any course or school related work. On the days that your instructor is furloughed that the campus is open (Monday 28 September and Friday 28 October) normal lab times will be available for you to continue your work. It would be well to used the lecture and activity hours to complete readings and homework, and to work with your teams in labs to move forward on your projects.
