1. To school you in the ways of the commercial arts.
If you mimic the skills I show you and then build upon them with your own enthusiasm, interest and style, that is learning. As an eight level class, skills learned
will return a considerable job advantage once you enter the workforce. The tools used to do this job will always change. Good design is timeless.
2. To open your mind MORE about the world around you.
Open your mind and ears. Trust me when I tell you that you don't know much at your age yet about how business works and what skills you'll need to start
working in this industry. The whole reason you're here is to learn how. Sometimes the best learning is done by just quietly observing... other times by jumping
in head first.
3. To promote interpersonal (social) skills.
You should never be bored in this class. I have not been charged with entertaining you. Please, get involved and you just may find yourself.
Four simple procedure rules to follow.
1. PLEASE RESPECT THE STUDIO, STUDENTS & INSTRUCTOR
Common courtesy goes a long way
2. BEGIN WORKING IMMEDIATELY UPON ENTERING CLASS
Projects are deadline driven. MAXIMIZE your time.
3. FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS AS THEY ARE GIVEN
Listen carefully when necessary
4. WHEN YOU ARE HERE, BE HERE. MAKE AN EFFORT
Think of this class like an internship or a real job. Do not take out your phone... sleep... talk and slack... be off task... head down... doing work for another class
(unless your'e caught up)

CLASS & STUDIO PROCEDURES
|
TARDIES & STUDIO WARNING BELL
A pass is required to leave class and is required if you arrive late. No Pass -- No Class.
If you are late, just admit it and do not try to sneak into class... tardies happen...
Visit the front office and get a pass.
Each tardy reduces your daily grade in class, thus reducing your final grade.
Driving to SVEC for classes is prohibited due to liability and supervision issues. Please catch your bus. If you
miss it, tell your AP at your home school, but please do not drive here.
When your schools warning bell rings, you have five minutes before your dismissal. Stop your work and start
your clean-up. This consists of :
- CLEANING YOUR DESK
- Replacing the stuff you’ve been working with (tools, markers, artwork, clip-art)
- Cleaning your work area (The floor around the desk, pencil tray)
- Be IN YOUR SEAT for the teacher’s dismissal
All studio work is to stop at the warning bell unless you are instructed otherwise. If you decide to leave you
desk dirty, stuff on the floor and are not in your seat... guess what?
CLETUS SAYS:
"If'n you have to make water... let Mr. Juul know, make your mark on the blue hall pass
(name, date, time) and be sure to takes the class pass with you...
We gives you about seven minutes to "do your doody" and come back, otherwise a whole
bunch of somebodies may have to pay you a visit and make sure you ain't fall in..."
- If you have missed a quiz or a test or a PowerPoint presentation, it is your responsibility to reschedule it!
- Ask someone in your group what went on or check the website under the front page or LAST WEEK.
- Powerpoints are located under JUUL POWERPOINTS in each block. Grab a note sheet from the front
desk and get your notes.
- For each day missed, you will be given those days back to work. Adjust your deadlines accordingly



In order for you to earn your grade, here's what my expectations of you are...
• Taking notes is not optional. Do not rely on others. Take notes. Trust me, it will help. They're 25 points each
• Following instructions as given is a necessity
• Listen intently when necessary.
• Start your projects immediately each day.
• Honor the due dates you have set and turn in all parts of the project.
You EARN your grade through the completion of the following:
TESTS & QUIZZES
Rarely open note so be sure to study your notes!
* DURING TESTS & QUIZZES *
- Have a pen or a pencil.
- Check and make sure you have a pencil or pen AGAIN. If you habitually don’t have a pencil and eraser, that becomes your problem, not mine.
- TRY to answer ALL questions. You may surprise yourself
- ALL personal belongings are behind your desk. This includes books, clothes, or anything else that should not be there.
- Do not talk, whisper or converse to your neighbor.
- Make it legible. If I can't read it, that's not good.
DAILY GRADE
A possible 25 points at the end of each 6 weeks is issued to you.
Your daily grade is given weekly and will be based upon the following factors:
1: Ability to follow directions
2: Following class procedures (Hoodie up & iPod on... or Hoodies down, iPod out of sight... enjoy class music)
3: Your approach to your work
5: Your participation in class
6: Your cooperation in class
STUDIO GRADE

DEADLINES:
• One day late is minus 10 points.
• Two days late is minus 15 points.
• After 2 days, I will not accept the project.
* PENALTIES *
- Not meeting your project deadline means you will receive a “zero” for the project.
- Missing only ONE project (grade of zero) may cause you to fail for the semester.
- If you have a legitimate reason for not completing a deadline, please see me.
- Incorporating nonsensical imagery of sex, guns, drug use or gratuitous violence is not acceptable in my class. Leave it OUT of your work
altogether. May be asked to redo the project.
I will not grade anything which insults myself or other students in this way.
Behavior Detrimental to You And The Class and Which Helps Lower Your Grade Include...
- Not turning in your assignments
- Cell Phone out in class
- Cell Phone rings in class
- You text message anyone for any reason
- Harassing or insulting anyone in class
- Profanity (payment to our swear jar is expected)
- Not using a backing board at your desk

you're supposed to. Any students on inappropriate websites, not adhering to class rules or not working on
classwork will have a knock against their daily grade.
- It's a great testament to your attitude towards your education and my trust in you to do the right thing.
Please do not abandon your project or dismiss work assigned in my absence
- In my absence, fourth level and above students should be utilized as a classroom manager & resource.
- If you are in the middle of working a project, please continue. If you are finished with a project, your job
will be to start working on Photoshop tutorials. Check the LINKS section under Photoshop
