Class & Assignment Format
Class Format
For the Fall 2020 semester, Handong has given us all some very difficult parameters to follow for running classes. We will attempt to follow those parameters in order to maximize your safety and that of your professor, while still delivering a quality academic experience and using best educational practices.
This class will be delivered in BLENDED format.
Some classes will be F2F (face-to-face, in-person, in the classroom, during class time, synchronously)
Some classes will be Livestream (via an online protocol such as Zoom, any location, during class time, synchronously)
Some classes will be Prerecorded (video lesson/website, your location, any time before midnight, asynchronously)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All class types are colour-coded in the Class Schedule, in the Portfolio, and on the class website.
This is a project-based class, so there is always 1 project per class (32 in total).
Projects help you learn and practice design, English, and thinking skills.
Projects are divided into tasks and assignments.
Tasks are how you learn, practice, and build your skills. You will always have practice tasks before you have graded assignments. You usually get a little bit of washback (a positive comment from your professor acknowledging that she has seen the work and recorded your attendance). You will receive 1 % per task, plus 1 attendance credit per day.
You need 30 attendance credits for the semester;
you have 1 holiday (Chuseok) and 1 possible sick day.
If you miss more than 7 attendance credits, you receive an F for the class.
If you skip more than 7 tasks, you receive an F for the class.
Assignments are how your learning is assessed and tested. You will always get a rubric (a set of criteria, guidelines, or parameters telling you how the assignment will be marked) before the assignment so that you can self-check. You will receive feedback (helpful critique and commentary from your professor, letting you know what you have done well and what areas might need more work) through the rubric after you submit the assignment, and a mark which will be scored in a % of your total grade for the class.
Your Student Portfolio will be updated automatically as each project is marked,
so you can see how you are doing throughout the semester.

Assignment Format
1. Always include your Student Code / ID block on all assignments, whether physical or digital.
2. Your professor prefers a sans-serif font for body text: titles and headings can be any readable font you find appropriate.
3. Double-space printed text to allow room for comments, single-space digital text such as Google Documents where comments can be added in the margins.
4. Keep any illustrations, graphics, photos, or images used close to the text they are referring to.
5. Use a consistent palette and style to give your work a more professional feel.
6. Always keep track of your sources, whether they are required or not. You may want to find that idea or image again in the future!
