GRADING CRITERIA
Regular and punctual attendance is expected of all students in all classes for which they have registered. All absences are considered to be unauthorized unless the student is absent due to illness or emergencies as determined by the instructor. It is the student responsibility to provide documentation as to the emergency for approval and judgement by the faculty member. Approved college sponsored activities are the only absences for which a student should not be held liable and only when provided by a college official ahead of the absence. Valid reasons for absence, however, do not relieve the student of the responsibility for making up required work. Students will not be allowed to make up an examination missed due to absence unless they have reasons acceptable to the instructor. A student who is compelled to be absent when a test is given should petition the instructor, in advance if possible, for permission to postpone the exam. Student will be dropped from a class by the Registrar upon recommendation of the instructor who feels the student has been justifiably absent or tardy a sufficient number of times to preclude meeting the course’s objectives. Persistent, unjustified absences from classes or laboratories will be considered sufficient cause for College officials to drop a student from the rolls of the College. From Board Policy FC (LOCAL)
Last day to withdraw from a course with a “W” is posted in the current NCTC Academic Calendar.

Online Art Appreciation Class Participation/Attendance
Students are required to notify the instructor if there is a problem completing assignments by the due date. If more than one assignment is skipped, the instructor will assume the student has dropped the course, but the student is responsible for filling out the drop documentation in order to avoid receiving a grade of "F." In addition to required assignments submitted to a drop box, students are required to post comments in the Discussion Boards. Specific topics with explanations are provided within each section. The course is structured so that you and your peers are engaging with certain themes at the same time, so it is not entirely self-paced. There are strict deadlines for participation within each section, designed with group discussions in mind.
Course Description
Through a study of the visual universe, emphasis is placed on developing several skills essential to leading a productive and meaningful life in today's world: the ability to think, read, visually interpret and write as well as communicate visually. Students are directed toward understanding and practicing visual literacy. Included is the meaning and cultural context of human expression as it is applied in two and three dimensions, film, graphic design and green/sustainable environmental design. An introduction to chronological/geographical visual history from 30,000 BCE to Postmodernism is included. Students will be asked to complete textbook and internet assignments. Students will also be expected to participate in online group projects and discussions, visit "real world" locations and museums, take digital photos and submit assignments through the LMS platform.
Required Field Trips
In the real environment during the present semester in the D/FW area, you are also required to search for and photograph outdoor sculpture in your own regional area.
