Drafting 10G Course Outline
School: Waskada School
Teacher: Mrs. T. Meggison
Webpage: http://schools.shmb.ca/~teresam/
Email: teresam@shmb.ca
Year: 2014 – 2015
Course Description:
Welcome to Introduction to Drafting Design Technology. You are about to begin a course that will help you gain
knowledge and understanding of the world of drafting and design. Since drafting is a visual form of
communication, all assignments and tests are sketches, drawings, or both completed by hand or on the computer.
Course Evaluation Structure:
Term Work =70% Work will be grouped in the following manner:
a) formative assessment or exit slips. I will take these in and mark them. I will comment on
mistakes, notation and/or if they need to seek extra help. Students will be allowed to use notes
and books while writing. NOTE: These do not directly affect the students mark. (Weighted: 0%
of the unit mark)
b) summative assignments and tests. I will take these in and mark them. Students will be
allowed to use notes and books while writing.
See the weighting of each unit as listed in the Unit Description section.
Final Portfolio Project = 30%
Course Materials:
Pen, pencil and eraser
Loose leaf
Scientific calculator
Drafting kit
Binder
ABSOLUTELY NO CELL PHONES IN CLASS!! If you have one, for your sake and mine, please leave it in your locker or
have it turned off. If caught using a phone, I’ll take it away and your parents will have to come pick it up. It is not
an acceptable substitute for a calculator.
IPODS - You are not allowed to have ear buds in during instruction time or group discussion and work. Again,
IPODS are not an acceptable substitute for a calculator.
Statement of Standards – Students Completion of Course Evaluation Requirements
In accordance with the Waskada School Policy on student assessment, evaluation, and reporting, the following
apply:
 Late assignments will be deducted 10% for the first day late and 20% for the second day late.
 A zero grade is given to any assignment more than two days late.
 Any extension for a student to the above standard will only be considered by the administration when
requested by the teacher.
 Unexplained absences during test or assignments dates will result in a grade of zero.
If a student is absent and it is explained, work covered will be posted on my webpage. It is the responsibility of the
student to refer to this to catch up on work and assignments missed.
Extra Help:
Extra help is available and should be sought on an as needed basis. I am available most noon hours: 12:30 – 1:00.

Drafting 10G:
Please return to Mrs Meggison:
Throughout the course of the semester I would like to keep in contact with the parents about
upcoming assignments, tests, and projects. I have a website that indicates homework,
assignments, and dates for tests, quizzes and projects.
Please bookmark: http://schools.shmb.ca/~teresam/
All formative assessment and summative assessments are posted on the portal where you can
view attendance and assessment results. I update the portal frequently and post the
cumulative mark for the course. It is an excellent way to view the progress of your child on a
regular basis. Your child knows how to access this portal. Please contact me or the office if you
need more information on the portal.
If your son or daughter is absent for a class, please have them check the website and check with
a friend to find out what they’ve missed. If they need further clarification, they are welcome to
see me or email me at teresam@shmb.ca. Unexplained absentees will be handled according to
school policy.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your son’s or daughter’s progress please do not
hesitate to contact me via email or phone the school at 1-866-422-5117. I am looking forward
to the upcoming year with your son or daughter!
