INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES: Concepts will be presented using lecture and discussion format with demonstration, diagrams, multimedia, video, visual literacy exercises, and examples of industry standard drawings. Each session includes lecture and discussion, in class activities to apply concepts and practice techniques, and lab time to develop individual work on a series of two and three dimensional activities and drawings. It will be necessary to allocate time outside of class (minimum 4 hours) to complete assignments. ASSIGNMENTS: • Assignments are briefly noted in the Course Outline. Expanded descriptions of assignments will be provided in class. • Assignments will also be available on the course website after they are given out in class. • Extra credit projects may be available and provide an opportunity to gain more practice and to earn additional points; they do not replace the core assignments and activities. TIMELY PROJECTS: • It is extremely important to turn work in when due as each project builds on the preceding one. • Each assignment will be assessed on the percentage of the work completed by the due date as well as the quality of the work. • Late work will be penalized 10% (1 point) per week late up to 3 weeks late maximum. Points deducted for late work cannot be recovered. • Each student will have (1) one week late “pass” during the course of the term to accommodate sickness or emergency. • Points deducted for errors or incomplete work may be earned back with revised drawings due the following week. Students are encouraged to revise assignments per review comments (“red-lines”) when returned in order to avoid compounding errors in future assignments. GRADING: Each student will be assessed on projects, attendance and participation. • Projects (100 pts) are to be accurate, clean, neat, and labeled. Red-lines & notes will help define the criteria through which your project is assessed. • Quiz and Final Test (30 pts) to show understanding of the material being covered in class through assignments, lecture, in-class exercises, and assigned readings. • Attendance (25 pts) is being in class on time and staying throughout the length of the class unless the instructor has given permission to leave early. If you are feeling ill or have a fever please do not come to class! It is your responsibility a) to get better and b) not risk the health of others. Please contact the instructor by email, if you are going to miss class for an excused absence. Excused absences of less than 20% of the term (max. two classes) will not affect your grade. Any school closure will not be counted as an absence. • Participation (25 pts) is measured through work on in-class exercises, noticeable growth in drafting skills, paying attention, asking questions, communicating responsibly, and participating in class. Grades will be awarded using the following scale: 90% - 100% A 60% - 69.9% 80% - 89.9% B 0%-59.9% 70% - 79.9% C D F 100% = 180 points listed above ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Arch110 Course Syllabus (kb Fall 2012 ) page 2 of 5 Extra Credit Options up to 20 additional points will be available through the term.

As such, traditional college classroom etiquette and expectations of behavior will apply. You are responsible to familiarize yourself with the college polices and protocol; available at: www.pcc.edu/about/policy/student-rights. It is the student’s responsibility to know and abide by college policies and regulations. If you have any questions about behavioral expectations, discuss those with the instructor as soon as possible. Communication: The college has an expectation that all communication between an instructor and student be professional and appropriate at all times. Both parties will practice constructive communication behaviors that serve to improve the learning experience and constructively resolve disagreements and misunderstanding. Communication behaviors that involve inappropriate language, yelling, threats, interruptions or other behaviors that are disruptive, abusive, and destructive to the communication and learning process will not be tolerated. All interactions with instructor, staff, and other students must follow the social norms of civility expected within the community and on a college campus. It is expected that students come to class prepared to learn and participate. Arriving on time, returning from breaks in timely manner, and staying until the class is over or dismissed enhances the learning experience. Academic Integrity: There are different kinds of academic dishonesty, such as copying someone else’s work or turning in someone else’s work as your own. If you have been accused of cheating on an assignment, the Instructor will provide you information about the incident and you will receive no credit for the assignment. If you don’t agree with the faculty member's decision, you may request a hearing with the Division Dean of the department. The Dean will review everything, meet with you and the Instructor, and make a decision. You may bring an advisor with you to the meeting. The final information is sent to the Dean of Student Development. If there is evidence of repeated academic dishonesty, additional sanctions may be imposed. You can’t receive a failing grade for the whole course without a hearing. For more detailed information about the process and deadlines, see the Academic Integrity Policy [pdf]http://www.pcc.edu/about/policy/student-rights/ Use of Electronic Devices: To create a respectful and interactive learning environment all personal electronic devices, including but not limited to, computers, phones, pagers, iPods, cameras, PDA’s, laser pointers, and rave lights, will be turned off or to a standby mode during class sessions. If you feel compelled to use the computers for personal business other than the activities for this course, you will be asked to STOP. If the disruption continues you will be asked to leave and must meet with the instructor before being allowed to return to the course.
