Expectations
— Be in class and on time each week, hand in work on time, and be ready to discuss the design decisions and choices that you made.
— Your work should look professional, and your craft should be pristine.
— Be patient and embrace the creative process.
— Continue your education outside of our classroom and assignments by observing your surroundings and understanding the impact that typography—both good usage and bad— has on your every day life.
—There will be no cell phone use or web browsing that does not pertain to class assignments.
College Attendance Policy
You are expected to attend each class meeting. You may be absent without penalty for no more than 10% of the class instructional hours (including all courses with laboratory, clinical or fieldwork) during the semester. Unless a department has specified in writing a different attendance policy, this College policy shall govern as follows:
Class Meets Allowable Absence:
1 time per week 2 absences per semester
2 times per week 3 absences per semester
3 times per week 4 absences per semester
***This class meets 1 time per week so there are 2 allowable absences this semester. Two lates equal one absence.
COMD Department Lateness Policy
A class roster roll will be taken at the beginning of each class. Only two absences (see college policy above) are allowed.
After two absences, a student may be withdrawn because of unsatisfactory attendance (code WU). Students arriving after the roll is taken will be marked “late.” Students may be notified at the earliest opportunity in class after they have been absent or late. After being absent two times or equivalent (2 lateness = 1 absence), a student may be asked to withdraw from the class (code W before the College drop deadline) or may be withdrawn from the class (code WU).
Academic Integrity Policy
(taken from the Academic Integrity Policy Manual)
Students and all others who work with information, ideas, texts, images, music, inventions, and other intellectual property owe their audience and sources accuracy and honesty in using, crediting, and citing sources. As a community of intellectual and professional workers, the College recognizes its responsibility for providing instruction in information literacy and academic integrity, offering models of good practice, and responding vigilantly and appropriately to infractions of academic integrity. Accordingly, academic dishonesty is prohibited in The City University of New York and at New York City College of Technology and is punishable by penalties, including failing grades,suspension, and expulsion.
