INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACH
This is a lab course and will be a combination of instructor led tutorial
assignments and independant projects. Most work should be able to be
accomplished in class or in the Commons so it is not necessary to own a copy
of Illustrator for home use.
Students with disabilities who believe that they may
need accommodations in this class must contact the Disability Resources and
Services office (KOM B-109) at

ASSIGNMENTS/PROJECTS
Tutorials will be graded on screen in class after each tutorial is
completed. You will submit color print outs of independant projects on high
quality color print paper.
There will be group critiques of all projects from the instructors computer
in the classroom. After each critique you will have the opportunity to rework
your illustrations before printing them for final grading.
Submit your assignments to be graded on the date due, labeled with your
name, course and section number on the back. Due dates for assignments are
noted on the class schedule
ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION
Punctual attendance is required. Any student who misses more than
four classes, may be withdrawn by the instructor. It is essential that
you arrive at class on time, as most instructions are given the first fifteen
minutes of class. There are activities which only occur in class and there is
no way to "make-up" work that was missed.
This course is set up as a graded (A, B,C, etc.) course. This course may be
taken as a P/Z or credit/no credit course. If you wish to take it P/Z or
credit/no credit, you must inform the instructor on the first day of class. To
receive a passing grade you must make a "C" or higher.
