        Grade Inquiries<\/h3>\n

        I do not reconsider grades. There are no exceptions. Each grade is final. The class is not retroactive. You finish a project, receive an evaluation, learn from your critique, grow and develop, and move on to the next project. However, I am available and more than willing during office hours to provide further project feedback if there are any questions. I will not debate or argue over a grade because that is unprofessional and gets us nowhere.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Deadlines<\/h3>\n

        Please view deadlines as a critical professional responsibility.<\/p>\n

        Late work is accepted only until the next scheduled course session and will be dropped one full letter grade, after that it is a zero.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Work not turned in at the designated time is\u00a0considered late.<\/strong>\u00a0You also must be present for critique or final presentation even if your work is not complete, or your grade will be\u00a0reduced a partial letter grade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        There are no exceptions, unless approved accommodations by the DAC are agreed upon with the faculty member in advance.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
