Here's a starting point for our class community norms. We can revise or add to these norms, please bring up your suggestions in class, and we'll discuss as a group.
How to Work in this Course
Communicate consistently
Keep a specific schedule, but be flexible
Show up to class on time and ready to work
Not speaking over people: wait for a pause and then speak, raise your hand during lively discussions, and heed a hand raised and allow that person to speak if you have the floor.
Bring a paper notebook and various writing instruments for taking notes during class, and review your notes after every class meeting.
Stay current with the syllabus, weekly modules, the discussion forum, and resources on Canvas.
Stay organized
Read through the syllabus and ask questions about anything unclear to you.
Ask questions and share knowledge using the discussion forum (for personal matters, contact your instructor directly).
Utilize homework activities, handouts, videos, readings, and your notes to prepare for classes, assignments, and production projects.
Read the guidelines, specifications, and assessment criteria for assignments and projects carefully.
Turn to your peers for feedback and skill-sharing using our discussion forum.
Stay healthy and practice self-care, take breaks, and get sufficient sleep.
Specifications Grading
Ensure you understand how specifications grading is being implemented in this course.
Remember that late work will not receive credit (except under extenuating circumstances). However, incomplete work may be reworked as described in the syllabus.
If your project work is evaluated as being incomplete, read through the critique from your peers and instructor to make a plan to revise the work
