Instructor Methodology - I teach the fundamentals of drawing as universal tools in combination with the principles and elements of design to equip students with greater creative problem solving skills, with an understanding that these skills and knowledge are applicable to all areas of the visual communication industry. My curriculum is organized in a building-block method starting with the basics and gradually building on that foundation week to week.

Distance Education (hybrid course)

• Students are required to have access to the latest Adobe Creative Cloud version, scanner and digital camera device. The class is time and computer intensive, requiring 6 -10 or more hours per week to complete assignments.  

High speed Internet access required may be required to work on projects outside of class.

Contact instructor by email: asaldana@austincc.edu

• We encourage you to review the ACC Distance Education General Information available at https://online.austincc.edu/faq/

 

Grading System & Frequency of Grades - Students will receive a minimum of 6 grades equally administered throughout the semester. These grades provide students with the opportunity to evaluate their standing in the class. Students can contact the instructor during the office hours listed at the beginning of this document if they need to discuss their progress, or to seek additional help.

The student will be graded on projects according to individual performance and execution of assignments.  Below is a general idea of some of the criteria, which assignments will be evaluated on:

 

Projects

 

Point

Accurate Rendering (shape & form/proportion)  

25 pts 

Presentation and follow criteria

15 pts

Composition

10 pts

Application of Theory/technique & Composition

25 pts

Completing work/Meeting Deadlines

10 pts

Work Performance/Class Participation

15 pts

                                                    

                                                               Total

 

100 pts

 

Grading Scale: A=90-100%; B=80-89.99%; C=70-79.99%; D=60-69.99%; F= under 60%

 

Missed or Late Work - Assignments are due at the beginning of class periods. - I will not accept late work, after one week past original due date. Be aware that late work can never be worth as much as work turned in on time and completed as prescribed.

Any part of a project that is not completed and turned in on due date with the Portfolio will deem the entire Portfolio late and subject to a 10pt deduction.

If a student is unable to meet deadline or falls behind they are responsible for contacting the instructor to communicate their situation and their plans to complete any project.

 

Independent Work: This is work assigned at the end of every class period and typically includes process work for a major project or in-class exercises. These assignments are due at the beginning of the next class period.

Projects: Both major and minor projects are listed on the project list, and are the sum total of all process work and your final solution. These assignments are also due at the beginning of class periods. I will accept late major projects, but I will lower a major project one letter grade for each class day that it is late.

What if I’m absent and miss assignment deadlines? You can turn in work when you return, and I will give you one day of make up for each day you miss. You won’t receive a late penalty.

However, if you are absent it is your responsibility to track what work you will miss and how you will make it up. You must take responsibility for tracking missed work. I will not remind you. You must:

      • notify me by email when you will be / are absent. It’s not enough to tell me verbally.

      • find out from online resources, myself or classmates what assignments you’ve missed

      • notify me by email the the dates that you will complete your missed assignments

 

Course Homework Expectations - As a profession the visual communication industry is extremely work intensive. Professional artists may routinely find themselves working much more than 50-60 hours per week. This course packs a lot of information in a short amount of time.

It’s essential for you to work on your assignments outside of class time. I will assign work every class period for completion by the next class period. You will have work over the weekends. The amount of time you’ll spend on work outside of class will vary depending on your experience, skill and knowledge, but the typical rule of thumb is to calculate double the amount of time for each hour in the course.

Although this is a lab class, there may be some classes at the beginning of projects when we will take all or most of the time to critique. Homework at these classes typically involves research and/or sketches. We will also have days where it’s mostly lab time in class. If you don’t have a computer accessible to you outside of this lab course, you’ll have to schedule time to work during open lab slots during the week or weekend.

Passing Grade Policy - Effective September 2005, D’s are not accepted as a passing grade within the Visual Communication Department courses. Students receiving a grade of D must retake the course to receive credit and to progress to the next level course. Students who made a D prior to September 2005 will be allowed to proceed to the next level course.

Course Policies, Procedures & Blackboard  - Students are REQUIRED to check and use Black Board on weekly bases to view:

• Posted Online/Independent Assignment Projects, if applicable

• Announcements that may affect due dates

• View In-Class Agenda for classes

•  Print out assignments or handouts prior to scheduled class time. First 5 minutes of class will be reserved for printing out class material using lab computers and printer.

 

Instructor and ACC Student Communication & Cell Phone Policies - The college uses ACC email as the preferred means of communicating with students for most circumstances. You are assigned a personal ACC email account that can be accessed through any web-based browser. It is your responsibility to receive and read email communications. Communications are considered properly delivered when they are sent through ACC email. The college periodically mails items to the physical address listed on your student record. It is your responsibility to keep the address updated to ensure proper delivery. Instructions for activating an ACC email account can be found at www.austincc.edu/accmail/

Most communication, questions, and answers in reference to projects and course related material, will normally be taken care of during scheduled class time. However if additional guidance is required outside of class time, my preferred method of communication is through email and then by phone if needed.

 

For this course, I will:

●      I will answer emails normally during office hours posted, but most times I will reply Monday – Friday, between 8a to 5p.

●      I will do my best to reply to all emails within 24 hours.

●      I normally do not answer emails over the weekend, between Friday-5:00p - Monday-8:00a

●      I will only answer questions from your ACC email account to mine.

 

Cell Phone Policy - During an emergency situation, the student should notify the instructor. Instructors will use their discretion to determine an emergency situation. (Students may be able to set phone to vibrate, and leave the classroom to receive an emergency call.) Refer to Dept of Visual Communication Policy & Procedure Manual. Please silence your phone during scheduled class times. Please do not check your phone or text during class time or group activities, such as demonstrations, lecture, critiques, etc. You may check messages during your break or once I have completed my presentation.

 

Attendance/Participation – In this course there is a high level of student and instructor interaction, weekly demonstrations, critiques and daily feedback, attendance is an important aspect of succeeding in this class. Therefore Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students.  If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.

To cover situations where classes are cancelled because of weather or other emergencies:

“In the event the college or campus closes due to unforeseen circumstances (for example, severe weather or other emergency), the student is responsible for communicating with their professor during the closure and completing any assignments or other activities designated by their professor as a result of class sessions being missed.” 

 

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class: if you arrive late it is your responsibility to insure that your instructor has marked you in attendance for that class meeting.

Due to the limited In-class meetings of a Hybrid Class you are only allowed 2 absences, this is a strict policy, which will be enforced if attendance or compliance with any other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.

Absences - If for any reason you’re unable to come to class, you will be counted as absent. You are allowed 2 absences. I make no distinction between an excused or unexcused absence, so use your absences meaningfully and sparingly. I will count you absent if you:

●      are not in class

●      leave the class extremely early

●      disappear in the middle of the class for a significant length of time

●      get to class extremely late

 

At your third absence, I will drop your course grade by a letter grade. I will drop your grade a further letter grade for each subsequent absence thereafter.

Arriving late - I will start the class on time. If you are only a few moments late, please enter and go to your desk quietly—there’s no need to call out to me to tell me you have arrived. I can see you. If you have a continual pattern of late attendance, we will talk about solutions. A pattern of late attendance will affect your grade or your ability to stay in the course.

Leaving early - If you must leave class early, please make arrangements with me ahead of time, so you'll know what material we'll be covering for the rest of the class period. Leaving class early will count as an absence.

Critique expectations - Critique is one of our most interactive classroom experiences. The feedback from your critique group will help you to develop stronger work. During critique I will expect you to:

●      take notes on paper with pen/pencil when you are receiving feedback from me or your classmates about refining your work. These notes should be turned in with your final.

●      participate by physically joining the group, answering any questions directed to you, and asking questions to the group

●      pay attention to the person who is speaking

●      not text, eat, drink or sleep during critique

Withdrawal - It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that his or her name is removed from the roll should he or she decides to withdraw from the class. The instructor does, however, reserve the right to drop a student should he or she feel it is necessary. If a student decides to withdraw, he or she should also verify that the withdrawal is submitted before the Final Withdrawal Date. The student is also strongly encouraged to retain their copy of the withdrawal form for their records.

Students are responsible for understanding the impact that withdrawal from a course may have on their financial aid, veterans’ benefits, and international student status.  Per state law, students enrolling for the first time in Fall 2007 or later at any public Texas college or university may not withdraw (receive a W) from more than six courses during their undergraduate college education. Some exemptions for good cause could allow a student to withdraw from a course without having it count toward this limit. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with an advisor when making decisions about course selection, course loads, and course withdrawals.”

 

Withdrawal Limits - Students, who enroll for the third or subsequent time in a course taken since Fall 2002, may be charged a higher tuition rate, for that course. State law permits students to withdraw from no more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career at Texas public colleges or universities. With certain exceptions, all course withdrawals automatically count towards this limit. Details regarding this policy can be found in the ACC college catalog - http://www.austincc.edu/cataloghtml/policies.php.

 

Incomplete - An instructor may award a grade of “I” (Incomplete) if a student was unable to complete all of the objectives for the passing grade in a course. An incomplete grade cannot be carried beyond the established date in the following semester. The completion date is determined by the instructor but may not be later than the final deadline for withdrawal in the subsequent semester. The department chair will approve a change from I to a performance grade (A, B, C, D, or F) for the course before deadline.

An incomplete (I) will be granted to a student in extremely rare circumstances. Generally, to receive a grade of I, a student must have completed all examinations and assignments to date, be passing, and have personal circumstances that prevent course completion that occur after the deadline to withdraw with a grade of W. Consideration should be given to course load, job, and family obligations when carrying an I into a new semester for completion. An I that is not resolved by the deadline will automatically be converted to an F.

In extreme cases, students may receive permission to carry an I for longer than the following semester or session deadline. Approval must come from the instructional dean.

 

Scholastic Dishonesty - A student attending ACC assumes responsibility for conduct compatible with the mission of the college as an educational institution. Students have the responsibility to submit coursework that is the result of their own thought, research, or self-expression. Students must follow all instructions given by faculty or designated college representatives when taking examinations, placement assessments, tests, quizzes, and evaluations. Actions constituting scholastic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, collusion, and falsifying documents. Penalties for scholastic dishonesty will depend upon the nature of the violation and may range from lowering a grade on one assignment to an “F” in the course and/or expulsion from the college. See the Student Standards of Conduct and Disciplinary Process and other policies at http://www.austincc.edu/current/needtoknow

 

Copyright – The software programs used in the labs are licensed to the college, which is the original purchaser. Thus students cannot duplicate the software for their personal use. Do not use college equipment to duplicate software for other students or to produce work-for-profit.

Do not download, copy or scan copyrighted material for use in your projects unless it meets the Fair use guidelines below and the copyright holder is properly credited.

Fair use is an important element of U.S. copyright law that allows for the use of copyrighted work without asking permission of the copyright holder, especially when the copyrighted work is used for criticism, scholarship, and education. Under the Fair Use guidelines students may:

Incorporate portions of copyrighted materials when producing a project for a specific course; and Perform and display their own projects and use them in their portfolio or use the project for job interviews or as supporting materials for application to other schools.

For more information on Fair Use see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use

 

Student Rights and Responsibilities - Students at the college have the rights accorded by the U.S. Constitution to freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, petition, and association. These rights carry with them the responsibility to accord the same rights to others in the college community and not to interfere with or disrupt the educational process. Opportunity for students to examine and question pertinent data and assumptions of a given discipline, guided by the evidence of scholarly research, is appropriate in a learning environment. This concept is accompanied by an equally demanding concept of responsibility on the part of the student. As willing partners in learning, students must comply with college rules and procedures.

 

Privacy policy - The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act protects confidentiality of your educational records. Grades cannot be given over the phone, posted, over non ACC e-mail, or through a fellow student.

 

Statement on Students with Disabilities - Each ACC campus offers support services for students with documented disabilities. Students with disabilities who need classroom, academic or other accommodations must request them through the Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD).  Students are encouraged to request accommodations when they register for courses or at least three weeks before the start of the semester, otherwise the provision of accommodations may be delayed.

Students who have received approval for accommodations from OSD for this course must provide the instructor with the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from OSD before accommodations will be provided. Arrangements for academic accommodations can only be made after the instructor receives the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ from the student.

Students with approved accommodations are encouraged to submit the ‘Notice of Approved Accommodations’ to the instructor at the beginning of the semester because a reasonable amount of time may be needed to prepare and arrange for the accommodations.  

Additional information about the Office for Students with Disabilities is available at http://www.austincc.edu/support/osd/

Safety Statement - Austin Community College is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. You are expected to learn and comply with ACC environmental, health and safety procedures and agree to follow ACC safety policies. Additional information on these can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/ehs. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that you become familiar with the Emergency Procedures poster and Campus Safety Plan map in each classroom. Additional information about emergency procedures and how to sign up for ACC Emergency Alerts to be notified in the event of a serious emergency can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/emergency/.

• Please note, you are expected to conduct yourself professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual will be dismissed from the day’s activity, may be withdrawn from the class, and/or barred from attending future activities.

• You are expected to conduct yourself professionally with respect and courtesy to all. Anyone who thoughtlessly or intentionally jeopardizes the health or safety of another individual will be immediately dismissed from the day’s activity, may be withdrawn from the class, and/or barred from attending future activities.

Use of ACC Email Communication - All College e-mail communication to students will be sent solely to the student’s ACC email account, with the expectation that such communications will be read in a timely fashion. ACC will send important information and will notify you of any college related emergencies using this account. Students should only expect to receive email communication from their instructor using this account. Likewise, students should use their ACC email account when communicating with instructors and staff. Instructions for activating an ACC email account can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/help/accmail/questions-and-answers

Student And Instructional Services - ACC strives to provide exemplary support to its students and offers a broad variety of opportunities and services. Information on these services and support systems is available at: http://www.austincc.edu/s4/

Links to many student services and other information can be found at: http://www.austincc.edu/current/

ACC Learning Labs provide free tutoring services to all ACC students currently enrolled in the course to be 
tutored. The tutor schedule for each Learning Lab may be found at: http://www.autincc.edu/tutor/students/tutoring.php

For help setting up your ACCeID, ACC Gmail, or ACC Blackboard, see a Learning Lab Technician at 
any ACC Learning Lab.

CLASSROOM INTERACTION - Throughout the course of the semester, you will be interacting with instructor and fellow students in critiques, which will give you feedback on your work. These critiques will be conducted in various ways, from one-on-one interactions to large group environments. In all instances, classroom behavior should support and enhance learning. Behavior that disrupts the learning process will be dealt with appropriately, which may include having the student leave class for the rest of that day. In serious cases, disruptive behavior may lead to a student being withdrawn from the class. - ACC’s policy on student discipline can be found in the Student Handbook, 2008-2009, p. 30.

CLASSROOM MAINTENANCE - The desks, chairs, and computer equipment in the room are very expensive. Please handle them with care. You are responsible for cleaning up after yourself before you leave so that the room is ready for the next class. Please leave drinks and food on the counter by the door or buy your drawing table. NO FOOD OR DRINKS ON OR AROUND THE COMPUTER TABLES. The last 10 minutes of class will be allotted for cleanup.

 

Computer Code of Conduct

• Do not deliberately access material that can be considered threatening to other students. This material includes pornography and overtly sexist materials, bigotry, and overtly racist materials, and anything advocating personal violence.

• Do not use computers if someone is addressing the class —including your professor or students who are presenting.

• Do not use computers or printers for personal use. For instance, checking sports scores or your email when you’re supposed to be examining online examples. You may not print anything that is not class related.

• Do not play music out loud in the lab. If you prefer to listen to music while you work, use earphones or earplugs, but never during lectures or demonstrations.

• No food or drink near the computers.

If you violate these guidelines, you may be asked to leave the classroom and your participation grade may be negatively affected.
