Student Atelier: Common space rules and practical items 

In the IAD Student Atelier 4K.22 you have a shared Island for the 1st year.

As a 2nd and 3rd year student you have personal desks and a mobile drawer cabinet for your personal belongings.

There is also a large community work table with electronics and a communal area with sofas.

• Prohibition of food and food waste. Only snacks.
• Broom and cleaning products on location, to secure a clean space
• Refrigerator content has to have stickers on items with name and date when it was placed
• Semester cleaning: all items that are not claimed by end of semester will be discarded or put into freecycle 

• Students cannot store large projects for more than 1 semester in the room. They have to take them home.

Presence in class 

Presence in classes is required. In case of planned absence, you need to warn your teacher and be excused.

Lateness is not acceptable. Repeated lateness in class and absences will impact your final grade in that class.

Class Speaker Election Procedure

Each calendar year, two class speakers per semester are elected through nomination or candidate proposal and then put to vote through all class members.

The election process should take place prior to the start of semester each year. For 1st semester students, the election should take place within a week of semester start.

Semester Feedback

• Each semester, we set up an online survey with individual and specific questions on various topics for all students. It can be about communication with the BA office, the work/study environment in the atelier, classes structures, etc and it always leaves room for open comments.
• At the same time, class speakers are encouraged to make a conversational survey and gather a synthesis of the feedback
• At the end of the semester or at the beginning of the following semester, class speakers are meeting with lecturers, staff to discuss that synthesis 
• This feedback is an essential part of your contribution to studies and student life: a lot of this feedback can help the faculty & staff to make adjustments or changes that improve your current studies, or the next class'.
• Feedback should be provided respectfully and mindfully. If you need to address a singular issue related to a specific lecturer, this should be addressed directly with the person first and with the BA leitung and BA coordinator.
