The final grade will be lowered for any absence beyond three. A B grade reflects work of good to very good quality. Work at this level often has outstanding characteristics but is not consistent throughout the course. A C grade denotes that the student has attained an acceptable level of competence. The student has demonstrated a basic understanding of the course materials and abilities sufficient to proceed to more advanced courses in the area.
D work is minimally adequate.
A D raises serious concern about the readiness of a student to continue in related course work. Each entry should have a point of reference, for example, an art example, an art exhibit, a Jelkyl drama presentation, a music event, an arts-related convocation, an article about the arts or the creative process, a poem or a short story. Creative writing must be accompanied by analysis and creative process information. Please double-space all entries. Then the student should write a thoughtful response, review, and analysis.
