Modes of Evaluation

• In Class Practical Assessment          - 20%
• Midterm Written Test                          - 10%
• Practical Tests (2 @ 15%)                  - 30%
• Final Written Test                               - 10%
• Final Practical Exam                          - 30%

• Due to the high percentage of practical demonstrations, scheduled attendance for the entire class is essential to student success.  These classes provide students with the opportunity to observe the techniques as well as to practice and receive feedback regarding their efforts.  In addition these classes provide the forum for the exchange of ideas and knowledge, provide the opportunity for clarification of concepts and techniques and an understanding of industry expectations.  Coming to class prepared to participate includes adhering to the program dress code, bringing the correct, mandatory supplies and tool kit as well as the approved textbooks to each course.

• The student's demonstration of learning outcomes is necessary for faculty to evaluate student achievement and, in most cases, occurs only during scheduled class time.  Absence from such classes where in-class assessments take place means students will not have the opportunity to demonstrate these concepts and for faculty to evaluate student performance.  This could lead to a failing grade.

• Classes provide the forum for the exchange of ideas and knowledge and provide the opportunity for clarification of concepts and techniques.  In a highly practical course such as this a student’s presence in class will have a positive impact on their performance in practical classes, quizzes, tests and assignments.  Less than 85% attendance in classes can result in a failing grade.  This includes being late for or leaving early from scheduled classes as important information may be missed.

• Quizzes and practical assessments will take place in class only and will occur at the beginning, middle or end of classes.  Students who miss the quizzes and assessments will not be given a make-up quiz or assignment which means attendance during these evaluations is critical to student success.

• Our industry places very high value on good time management skills and work completed in a timely manner.  Feedback on practical techniques provides another opportunity to improve one’s performance in a course.  It is imperative that each student participates as both a model and a practitioner and is an expectation in all classes with a practical component. In order to have a better understanding of your customer/client’s perspective and to improve your techniques you must have experienced the service.

• Any assignment that is not handed in at the beginning of class, within 15 minutes, on the due date will be considered late and a 10% penalty is automatically deducted.  A 10% penalty for every day the assignment is late will be applied but assignments will not be accepted after 7 days from the due date.  Assignments submitted one week after the due date will be given a grade of 0.  Alternate or makeup assignments are not given in this program as time management is an essential skill required by our industry, the college and the program.  Faculty need to provide feedback in a timely manner to all students and late assignments prohibit them from doing this.

• Here is how the late penalty will be calculated:

• If a student is not able to submit their assignment directly to the faculty member for whom it is intended they may submit it to another faculty member from the same program who will write the time, date and their initials on the assignment and place it in the appropriate faculty member’s mailbox in room D3035. 

• If you cannot find a faculty member you may deposit your assignment in the box in the hall opposite the main School of Fashion office, room D3035.  This is emptied every morning and will be date stamped.  This becomes the submission date and this date will be used to assign the appropriate late penalty.  The box accepts 8 1/2” X 11” duotang/binders.

• Doctor’s notes are not required nor will they be accepted for missed tests or assignment deadlines.

• Ample notification will be given regarding tests and assignment due dates.  Students who miss a scheduled written test must make arrangements with faculty to write a deferred test.  Students must contact faculty by calling either the faculty member’s voice mail extension or by email on the day of the evaluation and/or within 24 hours of this date.  After communicating with the student and for written evaluations, faculty will make arrangements for the student to complete a deferred test within one week of the original test date.  Students will receive the minimum passing grade of a D for this evaluation.  No deferred test will be provided if the student has not contacted the faculty member within the timelines listed above and if the test has already been returned to the rest of the students.

• At Seneca College the final grade achieved in a course is expressed as a letter grade: A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, D+, D or F.  A passing grade is a D or better.
