GRADING: Student performance will be evaluated based upon the following
criteria:
Attendance & Class Participation: 15% Flash drive & Notebook 10% Homework: 25% Midterm: 15% Final Project: 35% Averaged = 100%
GRADING POLICIES:
Grading / Student Performance:
A A - B + B B - C + C C - D + D F
= 94 – 100 % = 90 – 93 % = 87 – 89 % = 84 – 86 % = 80 – 83 % = 77 – 79 % = 74 – 76 % = 70 – 73 % = 67 – 69 % = 60 – 66 % = 59 % & Below
Excellent
Above Average
Average
Below Average
Poor
GRADING SCALE:
Guidelines for Achievement:
A All homework and classwork completed on time perfectly matching the given assignments, “Excellent” range score on the midterm and final project. A- See above B+ All homework and classwork completed on time closely matching the given assignment, “Above Average” range scores on midterm and final project B See above B- See above C+ All homework and classwork completed on time and a reasonable match to the given assignment, “Average” range scores on midterm and final project C See above C- See above D+ Some incomplete classwork and homework, work submitted is a reasonable match to the given assignment, ‘Below Average” range scores on midterm and final project D See above F Anything else is a failing grade

COURSE POLICIES:
1. The instructor will schedule appropriate breaks during the class. 2. Attendance: Your degree is based on the number of hours you receive instruction. Our strict attendance policy reflects this. Students are required to attend all class meetings. Students are expected to be in class on time. If you leave during a class break and do not return or are more than 30 min. late getting back, you will be counted absent for that class.
3. No appeals. No exceptions.
4. Attendance Grade: You will be graded down for repeated lateness. After 3 late arrivals your grade will drop 1 letter i.e. B+ down to a B. If you miss a class, your grade will drop 1 letter grade. After 3 missed classes, you will be withdrawn from the class. NO EXCEPTIONS.
5. If you are absent for class, you are required to do the assignment on your own time, at your own cost. The student is completely responsible for acquiring all notes and assignments.
6. Resource Center & Students with Special Needs: This is a college-level course. The student must be pro-active in his/her education. Academic support is available through the school. Any students who need special consideration due to a disability are asked to identify their needs to the instructor in private by the end of the first class. Any resulting class performance that may arise for those who do not identify their needs will not receive grading consideration by the instructor.
1. Sketchbook, Studio, Critiques, Projects and Homework: All assigned studio work, homework, presentations and critiques are required. One midterm evaluation (6th Week) and one final exam (11th week) will be administered. Homework assignments will be at the discretion of the instructor. They will be assigned during the 3rd hour of class and do at the beginning of the next class submitted in printed form as well as emailed to the instructor at: lawrencesassi@gmail.com.
7. The assigning, acceptance and grading of all coursework is
completely at the discretion of the instructor.
8. Copying/Plagiarism: Defined as intentionally using someone else’s ideas and/or words as your own. Sources for plagiarized material can include but are not limited to: visuals, music, data, graphs, graphics, pictures, books and websites. All class work submitted for grading may be subjected to a plagiarism check. Consequences: AiNYC has adopted a zero tolerance policy on plagiarism. If a student intentionally commits plagiarism, they will meet with the Dean of Education and appropriate discipline measures will be administered according to the AiNYC Student Code of Conduct.
9. Note: Any information in this syllabus and assignment calendar is subject to change at the instructor's discretion. Written revisions of the syllabus will be distributed to students when modifications are necessary. Instructor will release an updated course calendar/study guide week 1 and if necessary, week 7. All students will be required to review in class and sign the syllabus thus acknowledging their commitment to this class.
10. I will not accept late homework’s, or homework’s labeled incorrectly!

ATTENDANCE: Due to the intensive nature of the 11 week quarter system at The Art Institute of New York City, absences jeopardize participation and a student’s ability to successfully complete his or her studies. A student’s academic performance is in pursuit of preparation for a professional environment in which there is typically zero or little tolerance for absenteeism. If, for some critical reason, a student finds it necessary to be absent, late, or leave early it is the student’s responsibility to: *Notify the instructor, and make up all missed work. *Note that accumulated tardiness, leaving class before it is dismissed, or
absenteeism will affect performance and the participation grade. *Understand that excessive absenteeism may result in failure of the class. *Look for the specific participation requirements for individual courses, by referring to the course grading rubric within the syllabus provided by the instructor. Attendance is taken every class meeting. There are no excused absences, and the only consideration to be granted must be presented by the instructor to the department chair and the Dean of Academic Affairs.
A student who misses twelve (12) hours in a course will receive a Withdrawal grade (W) for weeks 1 through 9 and a W/F grade after week 9 for that course. Tardiness and absenteeism will be recorded in 15 minute increments.
A student who knows that he/she will be late/absent must contact the instructor via voicemail, e-mail, or administrative note. When absent, a student is responsible for obtaining the lecture notes and homework assignments from other members of the class or the syllabus.
Students will be asked to leave class if they are unprepared, disengaged, sleeping, disruptive, or otherwise compromising the educational experience of students who are motivated and trying to work.
Students who do not attend classes for 14 consecutive days will be dropped from school from the last date they attended school; exceptions will be made only on the basis of appropriate documentation presented to the Dean of Academic Affairs.
Students taking minimally twelve credits, who have perfect attendance for all courses registered in a particular quarter will receive a $100 tuition credit for the subsequent quarter of enrollment in the school. Details regarding this tuition credit may be found in The Art Institute of New York City catalog.
