Course Expectations Our goal in this class is to evaluate works of art, to explain their meaning and function under historical and cultural influences, and to come to an understanding of the works’ purpose and value using language that is specific to this scholarship. Course Requirements Methods of Evaluation and Grading Students will be graded on their individual performance as follows: • attendance and class participation (25%) • course assignments (30%) • mid-term and final exams (20%) • final paper (25%) Criteria A (93–100: 4.0) A- (90–92: 3.7) B+ (87–89: 3.3) B (83–86: 3.0) B- (80–82: 2.7) C+ (77–79: 2.3) C (73–76: 2.0) C- (70–72: 1.7) D+ (67–69: 1.3) D (63–66: 1.1) D- (60–62: 0.7) F (59 or less: 0.0) Online Resources A directory of museum websites is included under the Resources page of this website for your reference and for research purposes. In addition, acceptable sources for study and research are included on this page as well as to be accessed from the college library and/or its website at http://norwalkcc.libguides.com/homepage NCC Resources NCC Tutoring Center, West Campus Room 110 Tatianna Williams Ascott, Director of Academic Support Call (203) 857-7205, or email [email protected] Free peer-tutoring services for many subjects, by appointment. Walk-in sessions are possible if a tutor is available. Visit www.norwalk.edu/tutoring to schedule an appointment. Attendance Students are required to attend all classes in their entirety. Lateness and absences carry academic penalties. At Norwalk Community College, attending class is required for successful completion of the course. Missing scheduled classes will, in most cases, have an increasingly negative effect on a student’s grade. Being absent for more than 20% of scheduled classes may result in a grade of ‘F’ for the course. In this course, every three (3) latenesses will be counted as one (1) absence.
