Theatre is an “Collaborative Art Form” that must be shared. Attendance for this class is mandatory. Many of the projects will be performance pieces of one form or another by your fellow classmates. It is unacceptable to not share in their work. Each Student will be allowed 3 Unexcused Absences. After which the following penalties will Apply.
First Absence 1 Point = 1 point off Final Grade
Second Absence 1 Point + 2 Points = 3 Points off Final Grade
Third Absence 1 Point + 2 Points + 3 Points = 6 Points Off Final Grade Etc..
After 5 absences it will be an additional 5 points per class.

Class Participation

Due to the need for student participation in class projects and on work days this course has class participation points. These points equal 50 points of your final grade. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class. All students not present will be marked absent. Students arriving after this time will be marked present but are considered late. One (10) class participation point will be lost for each time a student is marked late.

Admittance to Design Lab

All Students may rent a key for the design studio from the instructor at the cost of Ten Dollars ($10.00) in cash. This rental fee will be returned in full when the student returns the key to the instructor at the end of the semester. This lab is used for more then one class, so students must, when ever possible, cover any drawings that are taped to the desk and put in the flat file any projects that are being worked on. The instructor will do everything possible to protect the students work. I understand that this room is a "lab" or "studio" not a traditional classroom, but please try to pick up any large mess that you generate in the creation of a project.

Admittance to Computer Lab

All students wishing access to the Watkins 213 computer lab can sign out a key from Win. This key should be signed out for no longer then a 24 hour period. Students working on computer should have a Zip disk to store their work.
