comprehensive.

B. Exams will include objective and written / essay items. IX. Teaching methods:

A. There will be lectures over reading material from text, discussion in class and opportunity for question/answer time.

B. Projects will be discussed, demonstrated, lesson plans given, and assistance given in doing the art projects.

C. Field/clinical hours of Field hours in public classroom situations will be used in order to observe children and their art at P-5 grades.

D. Supplementary hand-out materials will be used to augment materials in the text. E. Materials, tools, and sample projects will be used to explain ideas and projects. F. Oral reports, role modeling will be done on subjects pertaining to the class. X. Grades, course requirements, and student responsibilities:

A. Grading scale consists of the following:

1000 – 900 = A, superior or extraordinary work (ideas, concepts, projects) 899 – 800 = B, good, beyond class requirements

799 – 700 = meets class minimum requirements

699 – 600 = D, poor work, performance, did not meet minimal class requirements

599 - & below = F, failure in performance of work

I = Incomplete, for unusual circumstances like a hospital illness

B. Evaluation is based upon interest and attitude toward learning which is evidenced by the student's attendance, quality of work, quantity of work, growth, and improvement,

completion of assignments on time and active participation in class activities as well as the following:

Mid-term test 50 pts. ; Final = 150 pts. and is comprehensive; resources notebook containing all procedures for projects, done in and out of class, is due at the end of the semester and will count 150 pts. of grade; each student will observe 4 hrs. in the public school, this will include 1 teaching experience, (this is 40 pts. of grade);

each student is responsible for assigned reading in text or specific assignments and participation in class discussions. 16 art projects will be done; these will count 480 pts. of grade. Each student will do an oral report or presentation; this will count 90 pts. of grade. Attendance and participation in class will count 40 pts. of the total grade. Over 4 absences will result in loss of 40 points on the total grade.

C. Class attendance and prompt attendance in class is critical to total development of all students understanding the discussions, projects, lesson plans for the projects, etc.. More than 4 absences will cause grade to be lowered 40 points. 3 tardies will count as one absence. Leaving class early is counted as a tardy. Students are expected to do assigned work in and out of class carefully, take care of work and keep it neatly until called for. Projects a day or a week late will be graded but will earn a letter grade lower. After projects are a week late, they will be averaged as a 0. Of course unusual circumstances regarding attendance and work will be taken in account. D. Students are expected to maintain a high standard of work at all times. They are to understand

that learning is not necessarily entertaining, self-discipline and concentration in the work is essential. Students should ask questions and ask for assistance whenever that is needed. Students should be aware that the instructor's major concern is your intellectual development and artistic growth. Help will be given and your artistic interest and growth respected. Each student is expected to do his/her own artwork and class work. Therefore, honesty in taking exams and research is expected. Cheating/plagiarism in any form will result in student failure for the course.

E. Classroom rules are: clean up your area completely before you leave, do not smoke, eat or drink within the classroom; do not spray glue, paint, or fixative indoors. No classroom taping without permission of the professor and only in extenuating circumstances. No pagers or cell phones, all must be turned off.
