Course Orgranization
Because working in studio is important for interchange of ideas, it is essential to be in studio during class hours 8:30-11:30 a.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday throughout the semester.
Experience has proved that the students who advance most effectively
are those who initiate interaction with faculty and other students.
As a senior, you will be expected to assume responsibility for
such essential elements to your chosen professional field as:
communication with faculty and fellow students, personal research,
and contribution to the progress of your team and the entire studio.
You should notify a studio director if you will be away from studio because of studio related activities such as library research.
If you miss a scheduled studio session, it is your responsibility to find out about any changes or other information discussed at
that time. Each student will be responsible for scheduling and attending reviews with studio directors.
Weekly progress reviews with faculty/studio directors during studio are required. Studio directors will be available for supplementary
unscheduled reviews when studio time is not otherwise scheduled.
Studio/Office Policy
Your studio is your office. The semester should begin with organization of the studio and order should be maintained. You have committed your careers to interior spaces and you have certain responsibilities to interior spaces with which you interact.
Please affix your full name in a conspicuous place at your work station for the duration of the semester in order to facilitate delivery of messages and assist any visiting critics.
Please observe security, safety, and maintenance standards. Keep
egress paths and lighting fixtures clear. Any sound devices must
have headphones.
Please bring any individual or class problems to the attention
of your studio directors by phone call or memo (mailbox in 340).

Project Requirements
The process will be considered to be significant - not just the
end product. Participation, teamwork, communication, and scheduling
to meet deadlines will be considered essential to your professional
development.

should be a part of your portfolio and it is required in submissions
for competitions.

volume, color, details, and outline specifications for materials.
All projects must conform to appropriate codes and standards,
as well as responsible practice.
