Midterm Grades

WCHS Newsletter :: Midterm Grades
PM: Becky Hartwig (+ AIGA, but nothing on that project)
Andy Hernandez (+ Assistant)
Nick Schwerer (+ Metadash)
Ben Byers (+ ISEA)

Concerns: Becky doing most of the work. At this point we aren’t seeing a contribution from everyone, or they at least their contributions are not clear. We have 5 weeks x 4 people x 9 hrs = 180 hours – nothing to demonstrate this. It is crunch time. It is taking forever to come up with a layout that is cohesive. We are very nervous about this project being completed and strong by the 3/24 printer deadline. Finalized proof is supposed to go to Jacqui on 3/18. You have struggled to come up with any type of cohesion thus far this semester, and there have been major problems following the structure of working with the client. No one goes to the client until they have been approved to do so by the art director.

Grade to Date: C

Homework
