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.

 Creative Project  70% of grade
 Assignments       25% of grade
 Examinations       5% of grade
                  100%

 A = 90 – 100%  
 B = 80 – 89% 
 C = 70 – 79% 
 F = 0 – 69%  
  
A total cumulative score of 70% or higher on exams, assignments and or
projects is required for promotion to other interior studio courses.

Caveats:

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