Grading:
Students

of enrollment.
A resume
and/or a portfolio of theatre work (as described in class) will be
required each semester.
A list of
Department projects and their point values is attached.
All projects require
prior permission of the project
advisor. Some projects may
require departmental permission.
Projects
on off-campus or non-departmental productions require an individual
project advisor for each student. This includes
Student Performing Artist productions.
Performers
are chosen by audition only.
Sixteen
point projects will count for two semesters of Theatre Workshop.
To receive
a grade and course credit students must complete a Theatre Department
Project record form before the semester deadline. Course grade is based
on project grade, attendance and completion of a portfolio. Poor class
attendance or lack of a portfolio or resume, as required in any
semester, may lower course grade up to one full letter grade.
