Course Requirements in Brief:





There will be five quizzes; the one with the lowest score will be dropped and 
each of the four left will be worth 20 points and each will count 5 percent of 
your final grade.  The midterm and the final are each worth 100 points and 
count as 40 percent of your final grade. Art History Majors will
write a short (five to seven pages) paper instead of taking the Midterm.

The quizzes and the exams will consist of some combination of slide
identifications, comparisons, and short essays. Almost all of the material for 
which you will be responsible will be contained in the texts, or will be 
on the Web site.  There may be a few other images included, which will be
posted on the Web site.  


Attendance, Absences, and so on.  Students are expected to
attend class faithfully and to complete the required work on time.  There
will be penalties for late work. Students are allowed three (3) absences
for any reason. From the fourth absence the final grade will be lowered 3 
points for each absence. There are no excused absences, except
according to University regulations. There are no make-up exams.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE NO-MAKE-UP POLICY These are defined by the
