Homework assignments
must be ready for grading on time. Every session an assignment is
late will count as a grade markdown. If you are absent, I must see your
assignment the following class. All of the work you submit for grading
must be your own. You may not download images, annimations, or any other
material/graphics/text off of the web. As well, you may not scan material
from books or magazines to use in your assignments. Any assignment containing
any such material will automatically receive a failing grade. I may request
evidence of your creative process - therefore, save and have available
any source material that you produced - photographs, sketches, items that
you scanned, etc, as well as any intermediate digital files. By doing so,
you protect yourself from undue scrutiny.
Papers: do not plagarize your work. The bulk of your papers must be your own
words/thoughts. You may quote source material, but this may not comprise more
than 20% of your paper. You must provide footnotes and a bibliography if you
reference any outside sources. If I catch you plagarizing, you will automatically
fail the entire course.
