I strongly urge
you to keep the School Motto,
Timeliness:
You
Work late due
to excused absences must be presented at the beginning of the first class
attended after such absence.
It is your responsibility to make up all
work missed during any type of absence.
You should have ample notice of assignments due, and should work ahead
if absences are foreseen, such as those due to sporting events. If you are not certain of missed assignments
call a classmate or me, or better yet, simply work as far ahead as comfortably
possible.
Pledge:
Unless I
otherwise indicate, all work is to be
performed independently. In other
words, all work is “pledged”. The pledge must be written in full on
all quizzes and reports submitted for grading. This is for purposes of tradition and
reminder, as you are always on your honor and the pledge is thus redundant.
Do your homework and pay attention. Work on your assignments consistently. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or relate
concerns or problems relative to the course.
Do not hesitate to come to extra help or work in the studio outside of
assigned class time. Relax.
Have fun. Do well.
