Grading

NOTES:

Grading: Students are expected to actively participate in all seminars, to suggest topics and provide commentary and insight on the materials, problems and examples brought forward for discussion. Individual reports on their own practicum work will be submitted or presented on a weekly basis, along with the results of research assignments that may be given throughout the year. It is expected that each student will keep a log of their production activities, processes, and observations about their membership in the production ensembles. Since the subject matter and topics will vary throughout the semester, specific grading criteria will be established on a case by case basis.

Notes: Once the semester has started additional regular meeting times will be arranged for the various design, stage management, and technical direction cohorts to focus on the specifics of the practicum areas. Students may be expected to participate in and/or enroll in other classes relevant to their production assignment. See instructor for details.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
