Grading: Class participants will receive a grade for their contributions to the class and timely progress on their 3D model. There may be short project quizzes and tests to ensure that class participants fully understand the topics being presented.

Open labs: Open labs are available for use in completing homework assignments and for additional "practice time" by the class participants. There is an additional cost for using open labs. Please contact us to receive that information.
