Entry Level Standards:    
  Students entering this course should have mastered the basic principles of good drafting including orthographic projections, sectional views, auxiliary views and dimensioning.  Students should have already developed a grasp of trigonometric and geometric concepts.

Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course.

C. Accommodations for Disabilities:

If you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately (privately after class or in the instructor’s office). To request accommodations, students must register with Services for Students with Disabilities Office located in J.L.
