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
		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 which will include a spreadsheet with structural calculations. (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:
		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 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. Please see the instructor privately after class or in his/her office. Students must present a current accommodation plan from a staff member in Services with Disabilities (SSWD) in order to receive accommodations in this course. Services for Students with Disabilities may contact by going to Goins 127 or 131 or by phone 694-6751(Voice/TTY) or 539-7153.
