    GRADES:  Based on the average of grades for each of the editions and assignments completed over the semester.  The base grade may be affected (positively or adversely) by performance in the following areas:
      PARTICIPATION:  in class projects and critiques.  All students are expected to speak in critiques.
      ATTENDANCE
      PUNCTUALITY to class and in turning in projects and assignments
      ATTITUDE and willingness to tackle projects and resolve problems
      TIME MANAGEMENT in studio and class time.  Includes having necessary materials available.
VI. Schedule
    Important dates for demos and critiques are on the calendar, other days are listed as work days.  With several content areas offered during the same class time, it is important to adhere closely to the schedule.  Demonstrations will begin at 9:15.  Be sure you are here and ready to start.
VII. Supplies and Materials
    There are some materials that we will be working with that are significantly less toxic than traditional etching.  Some of these are not outlined in any textbook.  At this point you will receive handouts and additional information as available.
