Id format: Know info on the left side of the page, except fig. nos. Info on the right is extra. Id the double starred works. ** The part of the artist’s name in capital letters; title; location of the work if it is listed above or next to the work; country the artist is associated with; period date is 1600 – 1700 for all works. Maximum 1% extra credit for visiting art museums or other museums exhibiting art. ½% per museum. Verify your visit by showing or emailing me a selfie at the museum(s). Check with me before you visit a museum that I might not be familiar with. 1% is the maximum extra credit offered. No other extra credit is available. Course list pages: Works to id have are ** double starred. The period and general period date centered above a list of works apply to every work below them. The only date you need to know is 1600 – 1700. Attendance policy: I will take attendance for both in-class and remote class days. Sign your first name (not initials) on the roll sheet I distribute in class. Sign at the end of class if it isn’t passed to you. During Zoom sessions, I require that I see your face on the screen (not a photo) during the entire class (except childcare or bathroom break)to be counted as present. Inform me if you lack a camera. 6 absences, both excused and unexcused, is the maximum allowed by University policy (three weeks). You will receive no credit / an F if you are absent for 10 or more class periods, except for an ongoing medical condition or other reason that you speak to me about. Evaluation of the reason for an absence beyond 9 rests with me. Schedule appointments at times other than class time. It benefits you to come late rather than miss the whole class. Track absences in D2L Grades. Academic Alerts and Intervention: I will issue an Academic Alert notifying the student adviser if you miss class frequently or perform poorly on quizzes. Missed Coursework Policy: Makeup quizzes or exam will be given only for a documented reason such as a severe illness or injury, emergency or required-university travel. Evaluation of the validity of an excuse rests with me. If you oversleep, see me as soon as you can to take the quiz or exam the same day with 30% deducted from your score. Notify me beforehand if possible. If not, you must notify me within twenty-four hours after the quiz or exam why you missed it by e-mail or phone. Otherwise you not be allowed the makeup. Quizzes and exam will be taken online, so I need to make the quiz visible to you for you to take it. If you don’t notify me within 24 hours, talk to me anyway. 4 pieces of makeup work is the maximum number of makeup work allowed. Facecovering and Distancing Requirement Masks (cloth face coverings) must be worn over the nose and mouth at all times in the classroom and appropriate physical distancing must be observed. Students not wearing a mask and/or not observing appropriate physical distancing will be asked to leave class. All incidents of not wearing a mask and/or not observing appropriate physical distancing I will report to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Students who are reported for multiple infractions of not wearing a mask and/or not observing appropriate physical distancing may be subject to disciplinary actions. 3 Parents and Caregivers Especially now, in our virtual learning space, with many children learning from home and schools facing sudden closures, I expect children to be present in during Zoom sessions from time to time. .1 Breastfeeding babies and children of all ages are welcome and may be visible on the screen during class sessions. Alternatively, parents and caregivers may turn the camera off when more privacy is required. .2 Stepping away momentarily for childcare reasons is completely understandable. Simply mute and/or turn off your camera as necessary and rejoin us when you are able. .3 Do not take any photos, audio, or video of any children on screen. Students who do so are subject to censure. .4 All students are encouraged to support and respect caregivers as they mute and/or turn off their video and use the chat function as needed. .5 Please consider disclosing your student-caregiver status to me. This allows me to accommodate any special needs that arise. While I maintain the same high expectations for all students, I am happy to problem-solve with you in a way that makes you feel supported as you strive for school-caregiver balance. Tips for Success: The course is not difficult if you are engaged in class and do the work, assuming you know how. --Take good notes in class, watch the videos and look at the slide shows in D2L Content. --Find the note-taking style you like. The Academic Assistance Resource Center (AARC) can help. --Doodle in your notes, particularly doodle the works of art or about ideas. You learn as you doodle. --Get to know at least 2 classmates so you can borrow notes if you miss class. --Quizz / exam anxieity. The AARC has a statement on their website. --The slide shows, posted on D2L Content, include much useful information in addition to images of the works. Emergency Exits: In case of emergency, take a left from the main door of the classroom and proceed to the double doors. You can also exit from the other doors. Acceptable Student Behavior: Classroom behavior should not interfere with the instructor’s ability to conduct the class or the ability of other students to learn from the instructional program (see the Student Conduct Code, policy D-34.1). Unacceptable or disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Students who disrupt the learning environment may be asked to leave class and may be subject to judicial, academic or other penalties. This prohibition applies to all instructional forums, including electronic, classroom, labs, discussion groups, field trips, etc. The instructor shall have full discretion over what behavior is appropriate / inappropriate in the classroom. Academic Integrity (A-9.1) Academic integrity is a responsibility of all university faculty and students.
