essay exam(s) term or other paper(s)
written homework reading report(s)
laboratory report(s)
other (specify) _student projects
If the course is degree applicable, substantial writing assignments in this course are inappropriate because:
The course is primarily computational in nature.
The course primarily involves skill demonstrations or problem solving.
Other rationale (explain) __________________________________________
2. Computational or Non-computational problem-solving demonstrations, including:
exam(s) quizzes homework problems
field work other (specify)_______ laboratory report(s)
3. Skill demonstrations, including:
class performance(s) field work performance exam(s)

COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses include critical thinking tasks/assignments. This section need not be completed for non-degree applicable courses. Describe how the course requires students to independently analyze, synthesize, explain, assess, anticipate and/or define problems, formulate and assess solutions, apply principles to new situations, etc.
Each student will be provided with a comprehensive introduction to carpentry and remodeling. The acquisition of hands-on carpentry skills will be stressed. Lectures and lab assignments will cover a wide range of functions, enabling class participants to make repairs and modifications to existing buildings, facilities and structures. Students will also be taught tool use and safety. Each student will be responsible for understanding the principles of carpentry and remodeling, carpentry mathematics, blue print reading, job planning, material selection, scheduling and quality control.
