Interior Design Department Policies and Student Expectations 1. Students are expected to apply knowledge and skills obtained in previous courses in addition to new knowledge and skill obtained within this course. Over the course of the next ten weeks, students enrolled in this class will spend a total of (UG Lecture: 50 hrs, UG Studio: 100 hrs, G Course: 50hrs) in regularly scheduled class time and at least twice that engaged in independent learning activities on their own. Significant outside independent work time is required and it is the students responsibility to plan and manage their time accordingly. This course will move quickly and significant amounts of intensive research, reading, writing and application exercises/projects are required. 2. Students are expected to follow and abide by all SCAD policies, complete all phase assignments on time, be prepared to participate in class discussions, critiques, and reviews and be self-motivated in completing the assignment requirements.

3. SCAD provides many student resources for success within and outside the classroom. Please refer to the student handbook for information regarding SCAD student success support. SCAD faculty members are here to help students learn and prepare for successful careers in Interior design. Therefore, it is critical that all students: ask questions to seek understanding; actively seek additional assistance when required; listen and respond to all professor critique, suggestions and feedback; to always engage others in a professional and courteous manner. 4. It is the departments expectation that all SCAD Interior Design students take accountability for their own course work and learning experience. Students are expected to utilize and further develop professional communication skills in addition to independent analytic and critical thinking skills throughout their time at SCAD. 5. Faculty are here to assist and guide students in the learning process, not to do the learning for them, thus, it is the students responsibility to positivity and actively engage in the learning process and seek resources outside of the classroom to aid in their success. 6. Students are evaluated on the tangible outcomes of all projects, assignments, and assessments, not on the students effort or time invested to complete projects. All SCAD Interior Design Students are expected to actively participate in their educational experience and to put in the time and effort required to complete the course assignments successfully and completely. 7. If a student requires additional help or guidance it is the students responsibility to schedule an appointment with the professor during scheduled office times/extra help sessions or other times as outlined by the professor. Students are to email all appointment requests to their professor clearly communicating the nature of the request and to identify a variety of possible appointment times within their regularly scheduled office hours. Please note that time management resources and workshops are available through SCAD Student Success. 8. Multiple sections of courses are often taught by different faculty members. All course learning outcomes and goals remain the same in both sections, however, the course content or teaching methodology may differ with different professors. This includes, but is not limited to, due dates, lecture topics, field trips, assignments, grading criteria, guest speakers and jury members. Please note that different course sections may or may not be doing exactly the same things at the same times, thus students should always refer to their own course content, syllabi, assignments, and professor expectations and not those pertaining to another section. Students are to speak directly with their professor should they have any questions or concerns as it is standard practice for all classroom learning environments and materials to be customized by each faculty member for the individual student needs within their particular sections. 9. Students should also note that all committee members whom review student work during portfolio reviews understand these differences and evaluate student work for evidence of level of knowledge and skill not particular project components. 10. All assignments are due at the beginning of class unless otherwise noted by professor. Assignments are to be posted to Blackboard and the student course dropbox prior to the beginning of class unless otherwise noted by professor. 11. Work not turned in on time will not be accepted and will receive a grade of zero (0%). Incomplete work may be accepted and will be graded as it stands, at the time of submission and will not be eligible for additional grading opportunities. Late work consists of all student work not submitted prior to the beginning of class or at the time specified by the professor. There are no excuses for late work. If a student has a question or concern regarding this policy at any time during the quarter they are to schedule an appointment with their professor in a prompt and professional manner. 12. Students are responsible for all digital work and technology failure is not an acceptable excuse for late or incomplete work. All students are advised to back up their work in multiple locations to prevent loss and ensure accessibility. 13. It is the students responsibility to be on time, prepared for and mentally engaged during class. If a student misses any course content for any reason they are accountable for the information and are expected to contact their peers to obtain all information and materials. Class lectures, presentations, discussion, demos etc. will not be repeated. If a student misses any course content for any reason they are accountable for the information and are expected to seek assistance from their peers. Professors may or may not post class lectures/notes and other course resources online. 14. Course content, schedule and project deliverables are non-negotiable. Students are expected to complete all course requirements fully and to the specifications as specified by the professor. 15. Students are not permitted to record lectures or demonstrations without direct permission from the professor. Students who have a special need to record lectures should see SCAD Student Success. 16. Student Presentations should be comprised of materials that best convey the desired message and conform to class and/or project presentation requirements. Students are responsible for securing all materials and required equipment for their presentations. Special equipment, technology or other elements required for student presentations must be coordinated and approved with your professor prior to the day of presentations. 17. Professional juries and guest lecturers are incorporated into your classes to elevate the learning experience by providing you alternate points of view, critique, contact, content and other course relevant information. Students whose work is incomplete, unsatisfactory or late may or may not be included and is at the discretion of the professor. Student work that in not included in jury presentations will be reviewed and commented upon by the professor at a later time. 18. Cellphones and pagers are not allowed in class at any time. Cell phones, pagers, texting devices must be turned OFF and put away, not merely set to silent mode, before you enter class and for the duration of class. Use of phones, vibrating, light, or audible signals are disruptive to the learning environment, your professor, and your fellow students. Activated phones, by use or signal, will result in one absence. 19. Cell phone usage is not permitted within the studio or classroom environment at any time. You are required to use common public areas to conduct your personal communication. If you are asked to leave a classroom or terminate a call in regards to this policy, it is expected that you do so immediately and courteously. 20. During class times the use of computers in classrooms for communication (email, instant messages, and online socializing, etc.) is not permitted. Such misuse of computers is disruptive to the learning environment, your professor, and your fellow students. Such mis-use will result in one absence. Repeated offense will result in a disciplinary report filed with the dean of students.

21. Active ingestion of food and drink is prohibited in all classrooms 24/7. Violations of this college policy will result in one absence and/or a disciplinary report filed with the dean of students. Students are not permitted to store food and drink at their studio desks at any time. Drinks in containers with sealed, screw-on lids are permissible during class time but MUST remain put away IN a closed personal storage bag/back pack/purse. These may be removed during breaks and other times as specified by the professor but must be immediately put away after use. Violations of this college policy will result in one absence. Food and Drink must NEVER be placed alongside a computer or keyboard as this is a direct violation of the colleges technology policy. 22. The class clock by which time is determined is the professors time keeping device of choice. 23. SCAD E-mail is the primary means of communication to students at SCAD. All faculty and administrative announcements are sent to students SCAD email account and they often include important information regarding changes, events, workshops, etc. All email communication must be through the students assigned SCAD email address, all other email addresses will not be recognized. Students are responsible for checking their e-mail regularly. Students should also review SCAD policies regarding E-m ail and Technology Usage 24. Your professor reserves the right to change, modify or alter the content of the course at any time throughout the quarter. These changes will be reflected on revised syllabi that will be uploaded to blackboard. The course syllabus with the most recent date in the header supersedes any previous issues of the syllabus. 25. All written materials for coursework must include inline citations and follow APA Style guidelines. See http://apastyle.apa.org/index.aspx for more information. 26. The interior design department does not provide extra-credit opportunities. Students should focus on consistent, successful work throughout the quarter rather than desire to elevate their grades with last minute extra credit. 27. Professionalism: the positive, productive, respectful, and engaging manner in which you present and conduct yourself in your academic and professional environments. Professionalism implies a respect and courtesy for others in our educational setting and chosen profession. We expect students to maintain the highest standards of professionalism in the classroom, in SCAD facility settings, in the local community, and in related public settings. Students are expected to conduct themselves professionally at all times. All that you do and say, and the way you present yourself visually either elevates or diminishes your professional image in the eyes of your professors, peers or potential employers. Professionalism addresses personal appearance and demeanor and actions and includes all forms of communication. Examples of student professional expectations include: Appropriate professional dress and behavior on all field trips: You are being provided an opportunity to meet, learn from and interact with future employers, vendors, contractors, and peers who are donating their time in support of your education. Demonstrating respect for your peers, visiting lecturers, staff, and faculty. Professionals recognize and appreciate the contributions of everyone from cleaning staff to executive officers. Participating in individual and group endeavors in a proactive, positive, respectful, and fully contributing manner. Being accountable for ones actions and inactions 28. The mis-use of communication devices includes during classes, field trips, presentations, or any other event where you are gathered in the interest of this course is considered most unprofessional. 29. Students are expected to be engaged and mentally alert during all class sessions and activities. If you choose to sleep, converse or any engage in any form of inattention during any class gathering you professor will ask you to leave and it will be recorded as an absence. Repeat offence will result in a disciplinary referral. 30. Due to the necessarily collaborative nature of the design profession, efforts to complete studio assignments should be undertaken within in the course studio environment. SCAD provides the optimum environment for students to learn to collaborate with one another and provide constructive feedback for one another's efforts. Students whom work in the studio have direct access to equipment, resources, faculty, and camaraderie that those who elect to work at home do not. 32. Successful completion of the Interior Design Learning Units (IDLUs) is required. One hour of service (to the department, profession or greater community) and one hour of independent learning of a professional or creative nature related to the field of interior design must be completed during the quarter. IDLU activities must be approved by the instructor prior to participation. 33. The plotters provided for students in the computer labs are intended to be used for test plots and single sheet plotting only unless otherwise specified by your professor and department chair. Midterm and final projects are to be plotted off site. Your professor will provide a list of local printing companies for your reference. Policy violation will result in lost printing privileges. 34. Class Participation - Please note that within the grading section there is an opportunity for each student to be assessed on Participation, Growth and Development. Participation will be assessed based on attentiveness, active engagement in class discussion, willingness to participate in in-class exercises, on-line discussions and blogs (if assigned), willingness to participate in out-of-class activities and other demonstrations of interest in the course topic. Growth and development will be assessed based on demonstration of gaining new insights, increased ability to apply course materials / vocabulary, and growth of knowledge and comprehension of new information as demonstrated through assignment submissions. 35. Schedule Changes / Syllabus Revisions - Please note that scheduling may change throughout the quarter depending upon special projects, guest speakers and/or other events and unexpected circumstances. Students will be updated via email and a revised printed course outline of any schedule changes. Students are advised to check their SCAD email daily and prior to all classes. 36. Submissions of Assignments - Assignments must be delivered electronically in PDF format with the assigned file name, through Blackboard and through the MyFile course drop box, unless otherwise noted by the instructor. Digital photographs of presentation boards and models are to be submitted via Blackboard and the MyFile Course Drop Box in addition to submitting the actual three dimensional work in class. Incorrect submission format will result in grade reduction of one letter grade (10%). Submissions should follow the following naming convention Lastname_First initial_Class_Submission Title.pdf 37. Students who borrow texts from the instructor will not be issued a grade in the class until borrowed texts are returned.

College Policy:
Academic Integrity: Under all circumstances, students are expected to be honest in their dealings with faculty, administrative staff and fellow students. In class assignments, students must submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level of accomplishment. Any work that is not a product of the student's own efforts is considered dishonest. Students must not engage in academic dishonesty; doing so can have serious consequences. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, the following: 1. Cheating, which includes, but is not limited to, (a) the giving or receiving of any unauthorized assistance in producing assignments or taking quizzes, tests or examinations; (b) dependence on the aid of sources including technology beyond those authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems or carrying out other assignments; (c) the acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the college faculty or staff; or (d) the use of unauthorized assistance in the preparation of works of art. 2. Plagiarism, which includes, but is not limited to, the use, by paraphrase or direct quotation, of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgment. Plagiarism also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials. 3. Submission of the same work in two or more classes without prior written approval of the professors of the classes involved. 4. Submission of any work not actually produced by the student submitting the work without full and clear written acknowledgement of the actual author or creator of the work. Attendance and Personal Conduct: Only students who are properly registered for a course may attend and participate in that class. Students are expected to attend and participate in all scheduled classes and examination periods. Absences in excess of four class periods per quarter, or 20 percent of the course, result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course. Tardiness, early departure or other time away from class in excess of 15 minutes is considered absence for the class session. The student's appearance and conduct should be appropriate and should contribute to the academic and professional atmosphere of SCAD. The university reserves the right at its sole discretion to withdraw the privilege of enrollment from any student whose conduct is detrimental to the academic environment or to the well-being of other students, faculty or staff members, or to the university facilities. Enrollment policies: Students are responsible for assuring proper enrollment. See the SCAD catalog for information on add/drop, withdrawals, incompletes, and academic standing. Midterm Conference(s): Each student enrolled in the course will have a midterm conference scheduled outside of class time with the professor. Students are expected to keep this appointment. Academic Support and Tutoring: Academic support for students at all SCAD locations can be found in MySCAD, under the Student Workspace tab, Department Directory, Academic Resources. Course Evaluations: SCAD offers students the opportunity to evaluate all scheduled courses during each quarter term. Student feedback is essential to continuously improve academic services at SCAD. Evaluations will be available each term at the beginning of week 8 and must be completed online by the end of week 10. A sample course evaluation is available here. In order to access course evaluations, the student should take the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4.
