V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures:
Evaluation in this course will be based on the quality of the final drawings produced, homework, and short quizzes given during the semester.  There will be at least one individually produced, timed CAD drawing.  Final grades will be calculated as follows: 

    Board Drawings -    35% 
    Computer Drawings -  35% 
    Quizzes & Homework -  30% 

B. Laboratory Expectations:
This course is primarily a laboratory course.  Lecture time will be spent explaining the various principles and standards required for professional quality graphics.  The student's laboratory time will be spent applying these principles to create specific drawings on either the board or the computer.  It is not intended that the time required completing projects fit within the scheduled class or lab period.  All computer drawings will require the same graphic standards and information as the board drawings. 
C. Field Work:
Outside reading and sketching assignments will be required. 
D. Other Evaluation Methods:
N/A
E. Grading Scale:
A     91-100 
B     81-90 
C     71-80 
D     60-70 
F     Below 60
VI. Policies:
A. Attendance Policy:
Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities.  As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog).  Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.  Labs are considered instructional activities, and attendance is required.
B. Academic Dishonesty:
It is expected that students will work together to solve problems, however students are expected to do their own work unless specifically assigned otherwise. Sharing or copying others work is un-ethical and will be discounted.  A pattern of un-ethical behavior will result in the student being expelled from the class.  Copying software will be considered theft. 
C. Equipment::
Students are expected to take utmost care when using equipment provided by Pellissippi State.  No tobacco use, eating, drinking will be allowed in labs.  Students are not to load unauthorized software on the computers. Do not use floppy disks for CAD drawings in any other computers other than in CID labs.  Students are responsible for maintaining current copies of drawings on their disks. Do not relocate computers, monitors, digitizers or keyboards without supervision by an instructor.  Do not copy, delete or move files without instruction by an instructor.
