REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:
Title: Installation Art in the New Millennium: The Empire of the Senses
Author: Nicolas De Oliveira, Nicola Oxley, Michael Petry
Publisher: Thames and Hudson
ISBN: 0500284512
Publication Date: September 30, 2004

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS:
Materials for the installation that will be determined by the class.

EXAMS:
All exams will begin at the start of class. Once the exam has begun, there will be no
admittance to class until the exam is over; you will not be allowed to make-up the exam at
that time. There are no make-up exams unless the absence is an excused absence (car
accident, doctor’s appointment, etc. - documentation is required). If the absence is excused,
you will write a paper on the instructor’s choice of subject matter. There is no make-up for
the final exam- you must be present for the final or you will receive a zero for it. There will be
no exceptions.

COURSE POLICIES:
All policies of the Student Handbook apply to this course. These include, but are not limited
to, grading policies, attendance policies, and plagiarism. See also “Student
Responsibilities/Classroom Policies.”

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES/CLASS POLICIES:


• Cell phones will be placed on the silent mode during class time; they are disruptive to
both the instructor and other students.
• There will be no text messaging during lectures, discussions, videos, or exams. If
you text message during class, you will be asked to leave and marked absent for that
day.
• If you are disruptive in class, and/or disrespectful of other students or the instructor,
you will be asked to leave and marked absent for that day.
• Any work (paper or test) turned in without a name on it will receive a 0.
• If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing you will automatically fail the class.
• In case of any special circumstances where class is canceled, it is the student’s
responsibility to contact the instructor to inquire about work/projects missed during
that time.
• Students are responsible for submitting all work on the syllabus regardless of if they
are reminded in class.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Students are expected to be present for every class, arriving on time, and staying until the
class is over or dismissed. Since each class represents an entire weeks worth of work it will
be very difficult to pass this class with absences. You may not be absent from class for more
than three class sessions or the equivalent, 12 hours. As soon as you hit the 12th hour of
absence or have three complete absences you will automatically fail the class. School policy
states that students who are absent for 12 or more hours may fail a class unless the
instructor determines that there were extenuating circumstances. Rarely is this type of
exception made and only with documented proof of the reason for the absences, i.e. a
doctor’s note, judge’s note, etc. If you are absent from class, it is your responsibility to be
prepared for the next class session. Students who have been absent from class are fully
responsible for any and all material covered during class (lectures, notes, etc.). Absence is
no excuse for not being prepared.

VOICE MAIL AND EMAIL:


In the event that a student needs to contact the instructor by voice mail, please state your
name, class you are in, and phone number (where you may be reached at), slowly and
clearly. My voice mail is 954-308-2306. If the student wishes to contact the instructor by
email, in the body of the message please include your name, class you are in, and the email
address you wish the answer to your question to be returned to. My email address is
htkatz@aii.edu.
