V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures:
N/A
B. Laboratory Expectations: 15% of grade
Research Exercises and Sketchbook: 
 Research will be required for preliminary information before you begin the design projects.  A sketchbook will be required throughout the course.  Assignments will be given in class.  These two requirements will account for 15% of your final grade.
C. Field Work:
N/A
D. Other Evaluation Methods: 85% of grade
Projects:    75% of grade 
A detailed description of each project will be given and the majority of the work for each project MUST be done in class.  Projects will have intermittent submittal dates in order to "stay-on-track."  All design work must be your own original work.  Design projects will account for 75% of your final grade. 
All projects will be due at a specified time.  A project turned-in after the due date will have 5 points deducted for every day it is late.  For example, a project due on Monday will have 10 points deducted from the overall grade if submitted on the following Wednesday.  In addition, weekends count as 2 days such that a project due on Friday that is turned-in on Monday will have 15 points deducted from the grade.
Intermittent Submissions:  10% of grade
Projects will have intermittent submittal dates in order for the student to “stay-on-track.”  The submission dates will be provided with the description of each project.  These intermittent submissions will comprise 10% of the final grad
E. Grading Scale:
Grade Breakdown:
Research Exercises and Sketchbook     15%
Projects                                                      75%
Intermittent Submissions                       10%
Total                                                         100%

Grading Scale:
A =  90—100 
B+ = 87—89
B =   80—86
C+ = 77—79
C =   70—76
D+ = 67—69
D =   60—66
F =   Below 60

VI. Policies:
A. Attendance Policy:
Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities.  As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog).  Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.
IDT 2000 Class Attendance Policy:
Class attendance for the full period is mandatory for all students.  A significant portion of each project phase or aspect must be completed in class in order to receive credit for the work.  You are responsible for all materials and information given during class.  In the event of an absence, information about upcoming classes should be obtained from fellow classmates or the instructor prior to the next class period. 
Attendance will be taken only at the beginning of the class.  Parking problems, car problems, babysitter problems, or work scheduling problems do not constitute an excuse for an absence.  You will be marked late at five minutes after the class is scheduled to begin.  Habitual tardiness may result in the lowering of your final grade, and five tardies will equal one absence.
An absence is not an acceptable reason for failing to submit a project or other assignment that is due on the day of the absence.  If a test, quiz, reading assignment, project, or exercise is due the next class period following an absence, you are still responsible for it.
Two absences are permitted without penalty.  Three absences will result in a penalty of one letter grade for the semester, and each additional absence will result in a penalty of one letter grade for the semester. 
B. Academic Dishonesty:
In keeping with college-wide policies, the student is expected to adhere to the general rules and regulations relevant to academic and classroom misconduct as outlined in the catalog.
