The final grade will be based on the exams, projects and participation. The
class participation and project grade will apply to both the art history grade
and the math grade. Specific details will be given later in class.**
3.
Any out-of-class assignments must be typed or computer generated and submitted
on time at the beginning of class on the date due. No late papers will be
accepted.
4.
Notes from missed lectures are the student's responsibility. Reading assignments
complement but do not necessarily duplicate lectures. Students are encouraged to
use the resources of the library to enhance their familiarity with the material.
5.The
simple completion of an assignment often earns a grade of 2.0 or lower.
More proficient work is required for earning a grade of 4.0 or 3.0.
Examinations
will be given on the following dates:
First exam: April 18th

who are embarrassed or offended by such images should not enroll in this course.
**Various
assignments will be given for the participation/project grade.
Group assignments and individual assignments will demonstrate knowledge
of both art history and math and may include research and/or oral presentations,
group projects and field work. Some
of these assignments merit more consideration towards the final grade; details
will be given in class. The participation grade also includes attendance in
class. Please note: The math grade will also be used for the art history
participation/project grade.
