V. Evaluation:
	A. Testing Procedures:
			Tests, quizzes, timed drawings can be used at the instructor's discretion.
	B. Laboratory Expectations:
		Drawings will be assigned for completion as laboratory exercises.  These drawings will comprise the majority of student's grade. Reports and other assignments will be assigned for completion as laboratory exercises. NOTE:  Laboratory assignments can not be completed during the scheduled class times.  Students will be expected to schedule laboratory times to complete assignments.
	C. Field Work:
		The student will be expected to research additional resources (library, films, professionals, professional documents, staff, etc.).
	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:
		Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is subject to disciplinary action. 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. NOTE:  It is expected and desirable that CID students assist other students. However, students may only submit work completed by themselves.
	C. Accommodations for disabilities:
		If you need accommodation 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: Goins 127 or 131, Phone: (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TDD.
