Grading Policy
Grades will be based on the following criteria –
1. Attendance. Arrive on time, set up to work and clean up afterward.
2. Successful, on-time completion of all assigned projects. All late work will be subject to a
deduction of one full grade mark (a B will become a C) for every week it is late. This applies to
homework as well as paintings done during classtime.
3. Participation in critiques, group evaluations and classroom discussions.
4. Creative problem-solving, intellectual growth, willingness to experiment, effort expended in
research for self-directed projects, and a clear attempt to achieve goals. These are YOUR
paintings. Don’t be afraid of them. Have the nerve to ruin them.
5. An extra-credit project will be offered to improve your grade. Remember that your extra credit
project can only improve one grade by one mark (you may turn a B into a B+, for example). Extra
credit work must be completed in accordance with the written instructions provided by the
instructor. I will not accept extra credit work that does not conform to these instructions.
6. Deductions will be taken for excessive absences and chronic tardiness. Active participation in
class and an interest in finding out more about painting (at local museums, galleries and the
excellent resources of our library) will be an added benefit to your grade.
7. Each painting or project is graded individually after a class evaluation and discussion. These
grades will be averaged and will count for approximately 85% of the final grade. Homework,
preparatory work and a paper are the basis of other grades, amounting to 15% of the final grade.
Attendance, participation in discussions, and making an effort to improve your technique and
analytical skills are indispensable and are essential to doing well in the class.
These descriptions and timelines are subject to change at the discretion of the Professor.
