I understand that failure to complete the work as outlined above will affect my grade, and that completion of the above work does not necessarily assure a passing grade and that other factors of attendance, quality and understanding will also be taken into account. After a successful midsemester review, this contract may be altered by mutual agreement between instructor and student, to reflect a reappraisal of the original objectives relative to desired artistic growth. The course is designed to further develop the students critical analysis of their work and ideas through critiques, discussions, readings and handouts. There is no text for this course although handouts, papers and readings may be assigned.
