Methods of Evaluation of Competencies:

Evaluation of student mastery of course competencies will be accomplished using the following methods:

Because interior design requires specific, concrete skills, the major
portion of the grade involves hands-on focused projects that demonstrate
the competencies.

 Projects and assignments  90% of grade
 Exams and quizzes         10% of grade

 Grade Criteria:
A =  90-100%  
B =  80-89% 
C =  70-79% 
F =   0-69%   

Caveats:

1. Students will need basic word processing and Internet searching skills for the completion of papers, exercises and projects.
2. Students may be required to take field trips on the specified date as part of the course requirements.
