This is basically a lecture class. Overall class structure will consist of lectures, field trips (as  necessary), presentations, and outside assignments (homework). The lectures will mostly concern the  structure of the institution and how to effectively schedule your academic work. Field trips will  generally be on campus - the Library Orientation is a typical field trip.   Presentations will be made by  faculty and student representatives of various departmental areas like Painting, Printmaking, Ceramics, Interior Design, etc. Presentations will also cover departmental resources/ functions like the  Fred P. Giles Gallery and the Art Student Association.  Outside assignments, besides typical homework,  will include visits to art events.

The Deal
Students are expected to attend all regularly scheduled classes for the duration of the class. Late arrival to class will  not be tolerated-this faculty member reserves the right to close and lock the classroom door after a reasonable length  of time has passed. A student who is locked out will be counted as absent for the day. Since the nature of studio  classes require a maximum of individual contact time coupled to a limited number of hours of lab time, each student  will be expected to stay and work in class for the entire class period or until otherwise dismissed. Late arrival or early  departure will be considered a partial (1/2) absence. Departmental policy will be observed for attendance. There will  be no smoking in my classes. Any student arriving in class intoxicated will be immediately ejected from the  class and disciplined in accordance with university policy.

Do not call me at home. If a student needs to contact me, do so either at my office, e-mail (herb.goodman@eku.edu)  or leave a message for me in the Department of Art office. The ONLY justification for contacting me at my home is a  dire (i.e.: the computer lab is on fire) emergency.  This faculty member spends approximately 10 hours on campus  daily -- If you need to find me, you probably can.  If you have a late project, grade dispute, or are sick-- contact me at  school, I keep no records or schedule books at my home and will be of no use to you there.

Projects/papers are expected to be turned in on time, if a project not submitted, it will be given an F until handed in.  The project/paper must be completed as a requirement for the course. Late projects are given, at best, a grade of D.  If you do not understand any part of this document it is your responsibility to ask me for clarification.  If you are registered with the Office of Services for Individuals with Disabilities, please make an appointment with the  course instructor to discuss any accommodations you need.
