METHODS TO MEASURE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT:
Please check where appropriate; however, a degree applicable course must have a minimum of one response in category 1, 2, or 3. If category 1 is not checked, the department must explain why substantial writing assignments are an inappropriate basis for at least part of the grade.
1. Substantial writing assignments, including:
essay exam(s) term or other paper(s)
written homework reading report(s)
laboratory report(s)
other (specify) _____
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)
laboratory report(s)
3. Skill demonstrations, including:
quizzes
field work
homework problems
other (specify)_______
performance exam(s) class performance(s)
other (specify)____
4. Objective examinations, including:
field work
multiple choice

Two hours of independent work done out of class are required for each hour of lecture. Lab and activity classes must also require some outside of class work. Outside of the regular class time the students in this class will be doing the following:
Study
Answer questions
Skill practice
Required reading

COLLEGE LEVEL CRITICAL THINKING TASKS/ASSIGNMENTS:
Degree applicable courses must 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.
The student must summarize the information from the past year in the construction classes and apply it in a leadership role with the first year students, and the beginning construction of another house.
This is where the student combines his/her previous construction experiences to conclude the completion of the second house. They must develop the ability to understand the broader implications of their occupation in the social structure, to interpret changes around them in terms of the consequences for their own careers, and to anticipate the need for changes in technique and technology. They must have the ability to analyze developing circumstances and understand the alternatives they face before making decisions.
METHOD OF EVALUATION:
1. Instructor’s evaluation
2. Midterm

REQUEST FOR EXCEPTION
The Curriculum Committee is authorized to determine the appropriateness of entrance skills and requisites for any given course; to determine whether or not language and/or computational skills at the associate degree level are essential to success in a given course; to determine what is “college level” in learning skills vocabulary, and in the ability to think critically and apply concepts; and to determine on a case-by-case basis when any departure from the attached guidelines may be justified.
This form may also be used to provide justification for making a course repeatable.
