REQUIREMENTS FOR HAND-IN ASSIGNMENTS
& OTHER WORTH WHILE INFORMATION
1. Assignments. All assignments will be graded from hard copy. Be sure they are identified! After
the Due Date for a drawing has passed, the drawing will be considered “dead” and will not be scored
unless prior arrangements have been made.
2. Templates. You must use the "CADD" template drawing indicated for each assignment up
through assignment No.10 after which you must create and use your own templates.
3. Quizzes. A quiz will be given at the beginning of each class. They will cover reading assigned
for that day or previous reading assignments. In order to take the quiz, you will need to be in
class and on time. Quizzes cannot be made up. (The Written Final Exam will include questions
taken from these quizzes.)
4. Grading. Very few employers are interested in drawings that are not perfect and neither is the
instructor, so.... assignments will be evaluated according to the following criterion:
No Errors = Full point value.
One Error = -10%
Two Errors = -20%
Three Errors = Revise and Resubmit. (R&R)
Assignments may be resubmitted for a higher score if desired up until the deadline.
5. Grading for the course will be as follows: 70% - Assignment scores,
10% - Weekly quizzes, 20% - Final Exam (Practical & Written).
100-90%= A, 89-80% = B, 79-70% = C, 69-60% = D, 59% and below = W.
6. Always work on the hard disk or server account to save time and avoid a "disk full" situation on
your flash drive. However, you must save your files to a flash drive or other removable device at the
end of each drawing session as the hard drive directory may be cleared without prior notification.
7. Classes missed due to school closures will be covered by a double lecture the class meeting
before or after the return to classes.
8. Attendance to lectures is required. If you miss more than three classes, you may be dropped
from the course at the instructor’s discretion. Approximately 3 hours lab time per week in
addition to class time will be required to complete assignments. If you must miss class, you
are responsible to find out what was missed and arrange for any missed assignments. Canceled
class hotline number is 445-3030 or 866-532-5118.
9. The college computer lab policy will be followed.
10. A collection of reference books and magazines is available in the Lab Library at the back of the
lab. The college library also contains books on Computer Aided Drafting. Many web sites on the
Internet are also available for further information. Students are encouraged to make use of these
and other resources in their study of CAD.
11. Withdrawals: You may withdraw from the class per the WNC withdrawal policies. The instructor
will not withdraw you from the class, so if you stop attending, be sure to withdraw.
