V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures: 10% of grade
There will be quizzes at the discretion of the instructor (10%) 
B. Laboratory Expectations:  70% or more of grade
This course is primarily a laboratory course.  Lectures will be presented to explain various principles.  While the majority of lab time will be dedicated to drawing it is expected the student will spend extra time outside of class to complete required drawings.  Drawings will be the major portion (70% or more) of the student’s grade.
C. Field Work: 20% of grade
Students will be required to write reports and memos (10%)
A notebook will be required upon completion of the course (10%) 
D. Other Evaluation Methods:
N/A
E. Grading Scale:
A     90-100 
B+    85-89 
B      80-84 
C+   75-79 
C     70-74 
D     60-69 
F     59 and below
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. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.
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.
