Conduct:
Read the studio conduct handout

Be prompt for class.  Anyone arriving more than ten minutes past the start of class will be counted as absent.  Three lates equal one absence.  Three absences constitute a failure for the entire course.
Homework assignments must be ready for grading on time.  Every class an assignment is late will count as a full 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.
***Please send me an email at terry.towery@lehman.cuny.edu with your name and the course for which you are registered in the subject line so that I have a way of contacting you if necessary.
