NOTES:

EXPECTATIONS  

- Students should be present and ready to work at the class start time. Absences or lateness will be reflected in grade, with each unjustified absence affecting your overall grade. Justified absences are those for illness or family emergency. Please notify me of absence in advance via email. Last minute notification can made via text message.  

- Appropriate clothing is essential for all class work: wear clothing that allows you to move without restriction, without dragging underfoot. Excessive jewelry or make-up should be avoided.  

- Respect and abide by studio rules: no food or drink in the work room and no footwear other than character shoes.  

- Work on assignments outside of class time is a regular requirement. I am available to work on material outside of class time providing we can find a mutually suitable time.  

- Any written assignments will be graded on both content and quality of the writing. Late assignments will be docked 5% for each day overdue.  

- You are welcome to discuss your progress with me at any time during the semester, preferably by appointment. For urgent concerns, you can also seek me out after class.
