Course Description: S452 is BFA credit hours and is intended as a time to develop a personal point of view on design and prepare for a career in graphic design. Projects: You will be doing the first two projects that are assigned by Sara Ferebee as a skill building exercise. These projects will be due on the dates provided on her course calendar. You are required to do another six projects this semester. A detailed list of your individual projects are due on Wednesday the 3rd. Project ideas will be rejected if there is not enough detail that explains what you will be doing. I will be reviewing work as PDFs emailed to me on a regular basis. Each project rejected for lack of attention to detail will result in a loss of grade points on that project (.2 deduction). Be clear, expect to be working on more than one project at a time, and be prepared to work extremely hard this semester. Critique Dates: Sept 17th October 1st October 15th Nov 3rd Nov 17th Dec 10th Final Semester Grade: Project One 5% of final grade Project Two 5% of final grade Project Three 15% of final grade Project Four 15% of final grade Project Five 15% of final grade Project Six 15% of final grade Project Seven 15% of final grade Project Eight 15% of final grade Attendance Fall/Winter (2 absences allowed) • 3 absences – deduct .20 • 4 absences – deduct .40 • 5 absences – deduct .60 • 6 absences – deduct .80 • 7 absences – deduct 1.00, etc. • 8 absences fail class (Fine arts program policy states that a student will fail class with 8 absences or more).

3 days late to class (L), or 3 classes when you have left early (LE), constitutes 1 absence. A student with perfect attendance and no tardiness or leaving class early will receive an additional .20 to the final grade. IUS Academic Dishonesty The Student Code of Conduct prohibits activities and prescribes penalties for academic dishonesty. According to Indiana University Southeast Policy, adopted by the President’s Cabinet and printed in the IUS Student Handbook, students found guilty of any form of academic dishonesty, including (but not limited to) cheating, fabrication, facilitating academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and collusion, may receive an F on the assignment and/or an F in their course(s) from the instructor and may be suspended from the university by the administrative action. Student’s rights to appeal grade and/or disciplinary action and the procedures which students must follow for appeals are published in the University catalog under the Student Code of Conduct and on the IUS web site.
