CLASSROOM
STRUCTURE & INSTRUCTION:
Academic Lecture Classes:
These classes meet twice a
week for
a total of 3 hours per week. Classes combine in-class
lectures, discussion and on-site visits and
instruction. Most academic courses are reading and
writing intensive and will require a minimum of 6-9
hours of work outside of regular class-time.
Studio
Classes:
These hands on courses meet twice a week for a total of
6 hours per week. Studio courses combine practical
lessons, in-class demonstrations and slide
presentations. When possible students go on-site to
work or visit exhibits or museums of relevance
to the subject being studied. All courses
require outside work and in-class critiques
both individual and in groups. More advanced studio
courses may require written assignments and many
require students to keep a sketchbook.
Grading
and Evaluation:
Students are graded using the American University model
of evaluation.
Field

courses integrate on-site visits to museums and
exhibitions. Many may require day trips. These
excursions are considered an integral part of the
