Grading Guidelines
Your grades will be determined using the criteria described below. Projects will be evaluated according to the concept, development, craft, and degree of difficulty and completeness. Your evaluation will take into account both the tangible things which are evident in the work, but also those things which are not so evident and are often ephemeral such as, passion, dedication, determination and persistence.
