Due: Mark Up and Style Resume

Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines

Finished work must be uploaded to your site and a link sent to me by email by end of class Wednesday. This differs from our ordinary policy: normally assignments will be due at start of class. Please send assignments to my ucdenver.edu email address.

Late work will receive a maximum of 50% when graded, per the class syllabus and this program’s policies. Assignments not uploaded by end of class Wednesday will be considered late (duh). If you don’t send the link to me by end of class Wednesday, the assignment will be considered late. If you don’t upload your assignment at all, it will be undelivered (duh). This is a bad, bad thing. Deadlines, people. They mean everything. Let’s keep ‘em.

Why

Design and development are deadline-driven industries. It is better to deliver a project on deadline with a few rough edges, than not deliver at all. Keep in mind, it is professional to keep track of what you intend to fix and to mention that to the client before they call it out to you.

We are going to run our classroom the same way. I am the client. It is much worse to deliver a finished project a week late than it is to deliver a mostly-finished project on time. That is why I’ve offered my regrade-upon-revision policy. It will give you a chance to polish the rough spots on your deliverable. Keep in mind, you will have to keep all your other deadlines simultaneously though, which means juggling projects. For this reason, do not try to use it as an excuse to put off a project. It won’t work.

Grades

Grades will be handed out in class on Wednesday, Feb 10th.
