Fall Break
New for 2015!
Lucky you guys! We’ve never had a Fall Break before! 2015 is the 1st one in CSULB history! 😀
As you know, Wk 12 was the last “Activity”. For weeks 13-14-15 it’ll be just our 2 Conversations at the galleries and so just 2 blog posts a week. For the Final, aka “Week 16” we’ll have a School of Art Scavenger Hunt!
This week we’re in UT-108 on Tuesday as usual, and then at the SOA Galleries on Thursday as usual. And then next week, Nov 23-27 – Fall Break! Whether you’re traveling, catching up on school or other work, or just resting, I hope you have a great Fall Break – you’ve earned it! 🙂
The week after that, Tuesday, Dec 1 and Thursday, Dec 3, will be Week 14 and we’ll be back to our usual activities.
What’s that? You want to know when the final is?
Final: Thursday, December 10, 10:15 – 12:15, Art Gallery Courtyard
Points so Far
All points through Week 12 are now up on BeachBoard. The total points possible so far is 640. Here’s what you should have to be on pace for each grade level:
640 points = “A+” pace – 44 peeps
576 points = “A” pace – 49 peeps, or 44+49=93 A’s
512 points = “B” pace – 15 peeps
448 points = “C” pace – 9 peeps
384 points = “D” pace – 4 peep
383 & below = “F” pace – 6 peeps
This works out to an overall class GPA of 3.46 which is pretty good, and also a step up from our average of 3.32 two weeks ago! 🙂
