• The schedule and related activities may be subject to change
* About the collaborative project, you will need devote to at least three hours weekly to develop your project. You will get out what you put in.
* You are required to attend only five presentation days.
** The Senior Test is only available via computer-based testing. The testing windows are September 9 through September 20, October 6 through October 18, and November 3 through November 15. In order to get credit for completing your Senior Test for Art-425 Senior Seminar, you must verify that you have registered for the test, and take the test before Nov. 15, 2014. I will also contact Nancy Asher, Coordinator of Testing & Reporting, On Nov 15. Any one who has not completed the test will receive zero credit in the grading of senior test section (http://pxstudio.us/blog/?p=16032)

** Since the University Portfolio is both a requirement for graduation and for completion of Senior Seminar, you will need to complete your Portfolio this semester, even though the University deadline for Spring graduates is April 3, 2015. You do not have to submit all of the Portfolio materials to your Senior Seminar instructor, but you must verify that you have submitted your Portfolio by the Senior Seminar due date (Nov. 14, 2014). In order to get credit for completing your Portfolio for Senior Seminar you must:

  • Submit your Portfolio in accordance with the deadlines, and
  • Submit an electronic copy of your cover letter with your name in the file name of the letter (example:  SeniorCoverLetter – John Smith.docx)

* You can always add and replace work in your portfolio at a later date as long as your final submission is by the University-established submission deadlines.

*** This is our Final Exam Time. It is a Tuesday and is scheduled for 3:30-5:20 PM. We will meet at this time to finish our last five senior presentations.
