Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

 

APC Document 18:                                                       Add option for IP grading in ART 400

                                                                                                                                   

 

Effective Date:  Fall 2010

 

 

1.         Add:     On page 70, in the course description for ART 400, before the prerequisite:

                                   

                                    An IP grade may be assigned at the discretion of the instructor.

     

 

Impact Statement:

There will be no impact in terms of space, equipment, resources or staffing of the Department of Art due to this IP grading request.

 

 

Rationale:

If the instructor determines that a student has not achieved competency in the B. A. Seminar (ART 400) capstone course, the IP grading option will allow a student to complete the project without additional hours required for graduation. A student receiving an IP grade will be given specific guidelines regarding the successful completion of the solo exhibition, research paper and oral presentation required for competency.
