Design Documentation + Studio Grades
Students who were enrolled in a studio course this term are required to submit documentation of their design work by June 15, 2018. Design Documentation must be submitted in order to grant credit for the course and to receive a grade. Students who have been given alternate deadlines to submit their design documentation by their local studio coordinators can follow the instructions given to them by their coordinator.
Please submit design documentation online through Moodle. Your design documentation must follow the same format as in previous terms, including the completed cover page template sheet, course/assignment outline(s), and high-resolution images of all work completed for the studio course. This should be saved as a single PDF and named as per the documentation naming standards.
Grades will be distributed online under the ‘Grades’ tab, once all grades have been received. A reminder that grades will only be shared with those who have submitted their documentation.
