ESSENTIAL POLICIES 필수 정책
Attendance:
Attendance, in a blended course with both F2F and online classes, is determined by the completion of class tasks and class assignments. As you will see from the course schedule, each day of class contains either a task or an assignment. (see below for definitions).
Class tasks are worth 1% of your score each, as well as being your attendance and participation credit, which will be recorded in your Hisnet class attendance. If a task is handed in late (after the Friday midnight deadline) it will receive 0%, but you will get a tardy attendance mark (지각 출석) rather than an absent attendance mark (출석이 없다). If a task is not handed in, it will receive 0% and an absent.
If you miss more than 25 % of total class tasks (8 missed tasks), this will be the same as missing 25 % of the classes (8 absent marks), and will result in FAILING the course.
Handing in class assignments late will be penalized at -1% per day and a tardy attendance mark.
Please remember that 2 / 5 is still better than 0 / 5 , so even if you are not finished your work, try to hand it in on time! But do NOT spend 6 or 7 hours on one 5% assignment; it simply is not worth it.

Absences:
With a mix of online and F2F classes, 'absences' from class are less likely. However, if you miss handing in a Prerecorded task or assignment, or miss attending a Livestream (Zoom call) class, that is counted as an absent attendance mark (출석이 없다), just as if you did not attend a F2F class. Students must provide paperwork for any absence which they wish to have excused. Any student whose unexcused absences or missing tasks exceed 25% of class time will fail the course, as stipulated by the Korean Ministry of Education.

To be absolutely clear:
Six (6) unexcused 'absences' is your danger zone.
Seven (7) is the maximum allowed.
Eight (7) 'absences', whether they are missing projects, Zoom calls, or face-to-face classes,
means you have failed the class and will receive an F for your Design EAP. :(
Absences for which you have an official excuse paper (doctor's note, professor's note, etc.) are considered 'excused' and do not affect your attendance. However, missing marks on projects will of course affect your final score and your final grade.
Bonuses:
Emergencies happen, online learning is tough, and I know my students are struggling with time management and social distancing as they also try to complete all their classes under difficult conditions. So there is a little grace built into this class: there are two bonus Logo Designs, three bonus Phone Partner tasks and three bonus Designer Challenges which you can apply as 'make-up' projects to missed tasks/attendance, or even use for extra credit if you have no missed tasks! You can choose any of these bonus projects for a maximum of 3% bonus marks.

Tasks/Assignments
Tasks are defined as activities performed 'in class' as part of the learning process, usually with other students.
Assignments are defined as evaluated 'homework' , usually completed outside of class time and on your own.
All assignments have clear guidelines and rubrics to show you what your instructor expects. Please read them carefully.

Cheating
As members of Handong, we expect that you will adhere to the Handong Honour Pledge
and be honest in all of your academic work.
Copying someone else's phrases, sentences, or ideas without quoting/citing/referencing them properly
is considered cheating, or plagiarism (부정 행위, 표절). It is morally and academically dishonest.
All of your output (written and spoken work) should be in your own words;
if you use another author's words directly to support your concepts,
they must be identified clearly as quoted material and referenced correctly in your bibliography.
Plagiarism will result in a mark of 0 for the plagiarised assignment. Repeated plagiarism will result in a grade of F for the course.

Referencing
Referencing in this class means not only that you should cite the texts, ideas, sources, and quotes you use,
but also that you should identify the source of any images/graphics/photos you use.
As a student, your projects are not for commercial use, and are for the purposes of education, so you may often use any images from anywhere - Google or Naver Search, for example. However, this is actually a bad habit.
As a designer, and a Christian, you should try to practice fair use:
use only images you have a right to use, alter, edit, and publish freely,
such as copyright-free, public domain, CC-0 (Creative Commons images - here in English, here in Korean) ,
free stock photos, purchased elements (CU-friendly) or your own art and photographs.
There are many free sources for images available on this page, and elsewhere online.
For some projects in this class you may use images from any source as long as you properly reference/cite their origin.
On Pinterest you may pin and repin images from any source
unless otherwise cautioned not to do so, either by means of a copyright or watermark.

Do not use images with watermarks or copyright notices for any projects in this class, or even on Pinterest.
Translation Apps
DLE students should attempt to do their work in English rather than compose in Korean( or another first language) and then rely on a translation app or translation software, which does not help develop their English ability. We encourage using translation for individual words, which can help build your vocabulary. However, translation apps cannot translate longer sentences, let alone paragraphs, with correct grammar and diction. Your English will not make sense, and your mark will suffer as a result. Also, many dictionaries and apps still only provide the literal meaning of the word, although many English words have additional connotations or idiomatic meanings that will not be given.
Other Policies
Final Exam:
There is no final exam in this course - in fact, there are NO exams, tests, or quizzes.
The only thing you should memorize is the new vocabulary you will be using (always italicized on this website!)
All tasks and assignments are presented and evaluated within the course itself.
Mark Dispution:
I will not change your scores unless there is a mistake in the math.
Marks on student tasks and assignments are final
unless students can provide proof of a mathematical error within one week of receiving their mark.
Because this course is heavily project-based, assessment can be subjective in some cases:
however, the rubrics provide very clear objective guidance and must be completed to satisfaction.
Any dispute will not be accepted after one week of that task’s return to students.
Students can see their scores easily and immediately throughout the semester via their Student Portfolio.
Posted course grades are also final and cannot be disputed unless in the case of a mathematical error.
Grading Policy:
Fully online and blended courses will be graded slightly differently from F2F (face-to-face, offline) courses.
The departmental policy is flexible and specifics will be decided by the professor;
however, we have all agreed that we will attempt to consider students' efforts
under the challenging circumstances of this blended semester.
Course Schedule:
The course schedule is available on this website, and also within each student's personal Student Portfolio,
which will be a Google Sheet formatted and prepared by the professor and shared with each student.
Students are always responsible to refer daily to the announcements, check the Daily To-Do list,
be prepared for their classes, and be prepared for their tasks and assignments.

INPUT & OUTPUT
This class is project-based, hands-on, and believes in flipped learning, learning by doing, and student autonomy (자치).
INPUT - is your professor's responsibility to present to you: a lecture, a video, a reading, music, conversation, or any other way in which you are receiving information. OUTPUT - is your responsibility: you practice what you've learned, prepare your tasks and assignments, and finally produce the end result: an essay, a discussion, a moodboard, an email, a poster, a picture, a journal. This class will balance INPUT and OUTPUT, and provide a wide variety of activities and learning opportunities for you to improve your design English! |
