Here are some instructions and final reminders regarding the hand-in of your online portfolios.
This post is not for Newspaper or Magazine students. If you are in one of these two programs, please contact your respective lab tutor or program head with questions on the handing in/marking of your online portfolio.
To be very clear, the deadline is now Tuesday May 5th, since the original deadline of Monday May 4th is a Bank Holiday.
So, now that this fateful day is almost upon us, after five months of painstaking work it’s nearly time to hand it in.
We are aware that some of you are still not going to be back from some internships on the deadline.
We are also aware that since this is an entirely digital endeavour, it would not make much sense to print anything out as a sole method for handing in this work.
However we are also aware that e-mail is not reliable enough to be used as a means with which to hand work in. Please do e-mail a message (which must contain the following) to portfolios@cutlines.org as your submission:
- Name
- Link to your online portfolio
- Email address
- Theme of your portfolio
- Any parts that you DO NOT want marked - for instance additional articles written by others, or content that you feel does not fit into the guidelines at http://cutlines.org/assessment for deliberate reasons.
- Any other (brief) accompanying comments/statements.
These emails will only be accepted at portfolios@cutlines.org. Please do not e-mail Chris or Marcus personally.
If this e-mail does not arrive safely to us by the deadline, you will be penalised for late work, whatever the reason, and no exceptions.
If your e-mail arrived ok, you will receive a confirmation mail in response.
However, to make doubly sure that hotmail’s problems don’t become yours (ie that you are not penalised), or if you didn’t receive a confirmation message, you can additionally print out the same information that you put in the email and put it in a box at the front desk of the School of Arts, where you handed in your essay for Chris.
This box will be there from Wednesday morning, and is a safeguard. As it will be removed at the end of the day on May 5th, it will prove that you handed in your work on time regardless of whether your e-mail found its way to us or not.
So in other words you must use one or the other of these means to hand in your work, but both is obviously the best idea.
Please don’t leave this until ten minutes before the deadline. It will be hard to be sympathetic.
Good luck. We are really looking forward to seeing what you guys have created!
Marcus
