“...I’ve ended mixing in pencil, charcoal, sepia, coal dust, soot and all kind of bizarre concoc-tions which manage to convey more or less what I had in view, and above all in mind”.Letter from Victor Hugo to Baudelaire, April 1860

< 60 F 0 30 Fail School Property and Archiving: All work produced in the College is property of the College of Architecture, Art and Design and may be used for accreditation purposes. Studio participants should document their work at every stage. Work from each project must be submitted at the end of the semester as outlined in course assignment or as specified below. Digital work all phases must be fully submitted on a CD/DVD-ROM. The CD/DVD-ROM must be submitted in a jewel case that contains a label with name and AUS ID number; use a permanent marker to provide the same information on the actual CD-ROM. Files will be submitted via AUS dropbox as a single pdf file. The file structure should follow the format provided below: IDE294_SU16_LastName_A01.pdf Final submission is on: July 19 5:00 PM Conduct, Attendance and Lateness Students must adhere to the Students Code of Conduct as mentioned in the latest Students Handbook. Vandalism, willful, wanton or reckless damage to the college premises or property is a breach of the Student Code of Conduct and CAAD will take the necessary actions against students who commit such acts including requiring the student to pay the cost of repairing or replacing damaged items. Students must also adhere to the Attendance and Lateness policy as mentioned in the latest AUS catalog. Please note that CAAD has a stricter attendance and

 lateness policy than described in the AUS catalog. The fifth absence (or its equivalent in lateness) may, at the discretion of the instructor, result in forced withdrawal from the course and a grade of “W” or “WF”. The forced withdrawal can be initiated only if the instructor issues a written warning to the student. At the time of the warning, the student is considered to miss only three classes (or their equivalent in lateness). However, for courses that meet once a week, forced withdrawal action can be taken at the third absence (or its equivalence in lateness). At the time of the warning, the student is considered to miss only two classes (or their equivalent in lateness). Three occasions of lateness and/or premature departure count as one absence. At the discretion of the instructor, students arriving up to fifteen minutes late can be marked late and those arriving more than fifteen minutes late can be marked absent. Attendance may constitute a component of the final course grade and hence lateness, absence, and early departure may impact the student’s final course grade. Academic Integrity and Intellectual Property You must be familiar with, and observe the requirements of the American University of Sharjah regarding academic integrity as set forth in the Student Academic Integrity Code. Students are responsible for reading and abiding by the Student Academic Integrity Code found in the current AUS Catalog. To avoid any possible perception of plagiarism, students should keep the course instructor apprised of the process as well as the products of their endeavors. The course instructor reserves the right to refuse submission of any work created entirely outside the instructor’s knowledge or review.

CAAD Learning Culture Learning is a social as well as a physical and aesthetic act. Every effort should be made to maintain a professional atmosphere, socially and physically conducive to intellectual development, production and academic exchange. Our actions should exemplify the most positive attitudes towards empathy, diversity, and respect for one’s colleagues, of one’s environment, and ultimately of one’s self. The CAAD building is the primary place for students, staff and faculty to work, communicate, think and learn. All members of our CAAD community must ensure that we serve as a model of mutual respect, consideration and support. Our academic mission requires that all students and faculty conduct themselves in a professional manner. The following guidelines will ensure a safe, secure, and supportive learning environment. Respect for others is the fundamental expectation for all students, staff and faculty in the College. Basic empathy for colleagues, staff and faculty will guide the role of noise, socialization, and propriety in the College. Conduct in the Studio and Classroom Please be considerate and do not talk loudly in the studio so that others may work. This is particularly important during periods of instruction. Conversation should be limited to topics relevant to the course. Under no circumstance are students allowed to socialize, host visitors or participate in social activities during studio or class time. Behavior that disrupts the ability to study, learn, and/or communicate effectively will not be tolerated. Excessive noise, from any source, will not be tolerated at any time. The use of mobile phones, (for voice communication or SMS), or any other communication device will not be allowed in class. Amplified music or sound from movies and videos will not be permitted in the College at any time. The use of headphones is the only acceptable method for listening to music, videos, and movies outside of class time. Absolutely no radios, mp3 players, CD players, etc. are permitted in the studio or classroom without the use of headphones. Students who violate the rights of others with noisy or unruly behavior will be dealt with appropriately at the discretion of the instructor. Continued misbehavior may jeopardize your grade and potentially your enrollment in the course. The use of mobile phones, radios, or any other sound-producing device is generally strictly forbidden in studios and classrooms or as per the instructor’s directives and may result in the item being confiscated for the remainder of the academic session. Students who disrupt the learning environment in any way, may, at the discretion of the instructor, with or without prior warning, be dismissed from class, depending on the severity of their misconduct.

Every effort should be made to maintain a clean and safe working environment. You are expected to clean up after yourself on a daily basis and to properly dispose of all waste. As a College wide policy, food is strictly forbidden in all studios and classrooms while classes are in session. Food and liquids are forbidden in digital and technical labs at all times.
