Attendance for term 1 so far!


If you didn't really think attendance was being take, click and have a look! This is where things stand so far!

Module Specifications And Attendance!


I do not know what has happened on Friday the 18th! Only half of you decided to show up. I do not count leisurely showing up at 1:00 in the afternoon on a studio day attending either.
All I have realized is that the majority of you lack discipline. This would normally mean I would cancel the unit trip. But instead of that we will no longer have in studio work days for a while. We will have Pin-ups every Friday that I meet with you. This will also have a strict attendance policy 30 minutes late and you will not be seen and you will be viewed as not in attendance.
To help you all with the policies of the school on Attendance and what your time commitments to the course are I have scanned in the pages related to these subjects that are also in the new Program handbook that those that were there on Friday now have. Click on the images above and READ!!!!!!!!!!!
You will see there is a section called student learning time, this is the time you have to put in outside of the studio / tutorial days. It is calculated at 420 hours, on average that is 15 additional hours a week dedicated to the design work. These are minimums!
