Grading Criteria
You are always welcome to submit more than what is required of the
assignment. And treat your
instructor as you would a client - submit what I have asked for, but you can
also choose to submit a version that appeals more to your sensibilities.
That way, you’ve completed the assignment, but you’ve gone above and
beyond and have submitted an option that inspires you more, but may not
necessarily meet the requirements.
Challenge yourself and convince me with your visual masterpiece that your
idea was better - you may be handsomely rewarded!
And remember, you may resubmit any assignment before the end of the
semester for a better grade. If
submitted late however, it will still be demoted one letter grade.
