COURSE OUTLINE

The primary focus of this course is on how we dress – the underlying business of textiles, design, creation, and distribution of clothing.  Throughout this course we will discuss the following topics:

The Nature of Fashion                         Accessories

The Movement of Fashion                            Textiles:  Fibers and Fabrics

The Leaders of Fashion                       Apparel for Men, Women and Children

ATTITUDE/BEHAVIOR:

You are expected to act appropriately in class at all times. Speak correctly, use proper language, and treat each other with respect. Please treat the classroom and computer equipment with respect as well.  You will be expected to uphold the School of Business Code of Conduct.

ATTENDANCE:

Unless you are LEGALLY absent from school, you are expected to be in class. It is your job to be in class (seated & ready to work) when the bell rings.   If you have lessons, a guidance appointment, or any other reason for not being in class, you must speak to me before class for my approval.  Failure to do this may result in your being written up for cutting class.

MAKE-UP WORK:

If you are out of class, it is your responsibility to make up all work. All make-up work is due the following day after you receive the assignment. Failure to make-up any missed work will affect your grade.

If you cut a class, a grade of zero will be given for that day’s work. You are still responsible for completing the lesson!

NOTEBOOK:

Having a notebook is an extremely important part of your grade.  If you are out of class, it is your responsibility to make up all notes.  Be sure to ask a classmate or me for any notes you might have missed.  During the quarter, your notebook will be graded and counted as one test grade.

HOMEWORK:

It is your responsibility to hand in all homework.  If you are absent, make sure you speak with me or a classmate regarding any assignments you may have missed.

PROJECTS:

You will be assigned four fashion projects during this course, plus be involved in creating a window display.  All Projects must be handed in on time.  Failure to complete a project on time will result in your grade being lowered one full grade for each day the project is late.

PARTICIPATION:

This class will be more enjoyable if you are a full participant and offer your thoughts and ideas to the rest of the class.  If you hear about a news story on television, radio or read about something in a magazine or newspaper, please bring it to class for all to discuss.

TESTS: 

Tests will be announced and given according to notes covered in class.  There will never be any surprise information asked for on an exam.

GRADING:

75% - Test and Notebook Grade

25% - Homework and Project Grade

Extra Help is always available.  Do not hesitate to ask.  I am available before school, after school or during some periods during the day.  Please do not wait until you feel overwhelmed to speak to me.
