Everything you'll need to get started with the class, including the term's schedule, supplies, and syllabus, can be found at this website. Course content will be shared with students weekly during class lectures, web posts here, as well as with YouTube videos, reading assignments, and podcasts.
How the semester looks…
- Client Design Projects will happen throughout the term, and have the largest point value, 100 points.
- Other classwork, such as professional development, writing and editing your résumé, and designing a portfolio, will also happen this term.
- We have no formal exam. See the class calendar for complete schedule.
Delivery of work…
- When a client project is due, the grade gets processed at that DEADLINE when the work is closed.
- In some cases, a client may require you to revise a project after the DEADLINE but that does not necessarily guarantee the chance to revise the grade too.
Materials: Students should have the following tools & materials to complete the work assigned and participate in class…
- smartphone with camera and internet access
- tablet or laptop or personal computer and internet access
- web browser, Safari or Chrome or Firefox, Opera works well too
