ABSENCES
If you have missed a lot of classes, it is a good idea to check with your TA to see how many you have accumulated. As you know, 5 or more unexcused absences result in failing the class. However, if you had emergencies, and can provide me with a note from your doctor, from Student Health, or from your CAPS Counselor (for the specific dates in question)– then those absences will be excused.
If you went to the Getty, or the MCA and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, be sure that your TA has your 2-page response paper and tweets. If your paper was too late to be accepted, please re-submit it so that two absences are not added to your attendance record. Remember that the museum trips were in lieu of two lectures.
If you still have a lot of absences, then there are two assignments that you can do to forgive up to 2 of them. Each will forgive a single absence, and you may do both. They are due by Thursday, March 15 in lecture.
1) Attend the opening of Parables at the Glassbox Gallery on Friday, March 9th 4-7pm. Explore the exhibition, and write a 1-2 page response paper.
2) Go to the Jane Gottlieb Photographs France Exhibition at the UCSB AD & A Museum, and write a 1-2 page response paper.
PAPER UPLOADS
It is imperative that you upload Paper #2 to the Plagiarism Scan (LINK HERE) when you finish your paper. Last time your teaching assistants were chasing after many of you to get you to do this, and this cannot repeat itself for the final paper. The plagiarism scan has to be run a couple of days after the paper is due in order for grades to be submitted on time. If you have not uploaded your paper, then no course grade will be recorded for you.
1) Upload your paper to the plagiarism scan in WORD. You have free access to this program via your umail account.
2) Be sure not to include pictures in your upload because they cause problems for the scan, and they often generate error messages.
