M J R A S G M N S A O S I N E T This class includes a research term project as part of its assignment that
will be graded on form as well as content. To aid with both the form and content production of this project, the assignment has been split into five separate steps to help students manage the difficulties of scheduling the responsibilities a term project poses as well as helping monitor their pro-
gression towards success.
The five steps are as follows:
Jan. 16
Step 2 Jan. 23
Step 3 Feb.

Step 4 Apr. 3
Step 5 PROJECT FAIR *optional* The Project Fair is an interactive showcasing opportunity for you to share your term project. During this event students you can showcase the term’s research work and final project. It is an entirely optional event and is open to all students who would like to participate.
Apr. 17
Step 1
A completely open project like this course calls for can be a daunting and intimidating kind of project to tackle. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and directionless, consider the following tips:
• Use the project step descriptions on page 4 as the rubric for each step. The instructions for each step are the basis for the grades on each assignment.
• At it’s heart, the project is a research project that communicates some kind of research about art, artists, etc. and shows why that knowledge is relevant and important. There are many ways to communicate in the 21st century, what’s the best approach for your new knowledge?
• There is no wrong kind of project. But if you have doubts, talk to your instructor about it! She’s always open to being a sounding-board for projects and research. She’s just a text message or email away.
IMAGE RECOGNITION QUIZZES During the term, there will be two image identification quizzes - one at midterm, the other at end of term. These tests will consist of identifying images that have been discussed in class that are integrally important to Western Art History after 1400. Before each quiz a study guide will be released on Blackboard in the Class & Study Info section. Quiz 1 will be an online, multiple choice, timed quiz and will be due by February 6th. Quiz 2 will be a long answer, in class, hand-written, timed quiz that is scheduled for April 10th. Each quiz will be 5% of the overall grade.
MID-TERM The mid-term will be a take- home exam that will contain a series of long answer, open-book questions on topics covered to date as well as a short essay question. The take-home portion of the mid-term is due, via the HAND IN MIDTERM HERE section on Blackboard, February 1st
BONUS ASSIGNMENTS There will be a minimum of two bonus assignments available at some point during the term. Both will involve writing a short essay or response to a specific question. One will be based on an event you have experienced this term, while the other will be a research based bonus opportunity. Each bonus assignment will be worth 5% each and will be added to your final grade at the end of the term.
FINAL EXAM Final examinations, in keeping with the Final Examinations Policy of Red Deer College, will be a take-home, open book exam. It will consist of a series of long answer questions regarding topics covered since the beginning of term, a selection of short essay questions to choose from and a self-reflection section. The take-home final exam will be due, via the HAND IN FINAL EXAM HERE! section on Blackboard, April 24th
WANT MORE CHANCES TO GET GREAT GRADES? All assignments, with the exception of the Project Topic Choice Assignment and Image Recognition Quizzes, if they are received via Blackboard BEFORE the day they are due will receive an automatic 2% bonus to the grade of that assignment.
