Be punctual.

ALWAYS be seated in class by no later than 9:40 am, so we can get started quickly. ALWAYS sign-in. If you come in late, and the sign-in sheet has already gone around the room, you are not allowed to sign it, and you will be counted Absent. If you come to class on time, but don't sign-in, you will also be counted Absent.

 

Be prepared.

ALWAYS bring printed samples of your work-in-progress to class, especially if the Schedule says we are doing a Critique that day. Do not wait until 9:30 am the day of class to print something out. That's already too late and wastes a lot of time. You can print work during lab sessions or open lab, in the 4th floor labs, the 3rd floor labs, at home (if you have a printer), Kinko's, and many other places.

 

ALWAYS read all assigned readings before we are scheduled to discuss them, in class. Always come to class prepared with discussion questions.

 

Be safe.

ALWAYS save a copy of your work-in-progress to your Flash Drive or other portable storage media device. We will have a Classes Folder, but you can't depend on it entirely. Anything saved anywhere on a school computer network (or any other computer) is vulnerable to disappearing or getting damaged. Always be sure that you save a copy of anything you've done -- that you don't want to redo -- in more than one place. (Example: Flash Drive AND home computer; or Flash Drive AND Classes Folder.)
