OHLONE COLLEGE   GREENSHEET ART-106A Descriptive Drawing

A tentative calendar/schedule will be provided with this greensheet; however, there will be times when the schedule will need to be adjusted.

Attendance is mandatory and attendance will be taken. You are allowed 3 absences before it affects your class participation grade. The 4th absence drops your "Class Participation/Attendance/Office meeting" grade a full letter. Each additional absence drops your "Class Participation/Attendance" grade a half a letter. A lateness is worth a half absence.  Please note that this is significant because it comprises 30% of your over all grade. If you miss 4 classes consecutively you will either fail or be dropped from the class.

Late Work Late work will be accepted,however, for every day (not every class meeting) that the assignment is late it will be marked down a full letter grade. All work is due at the beginning of the class on the day it is due. If you are late to class the work will late and marked down a full letter grade.

EXAMINATIONS:
There are no examinations in this course but there are quizzes which will be based on readings from the on-line textbook and class notes.
