V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures:
N/A
B. Laboratory Expectations:
This course is primarily a laboratory course.  Lecture time will be spent explaining the various principles and standards required for professional quality graphics.  The student's laboratory time will be spent applying these principles to create specific drawings on the computer. It is not intended that the time required to complete projects fit within the scheduled class or lab period.
C. Field Work:
N/A
D. Other Evaluation Methods: 100% of grade
Literature/ Design Research: 10% of grade
Research will be required for preliminary information before you begin the design projects.  These exercises will account for 10% of your final grade.
Projects:   90% 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.  Many of the projects will have intermediate turn-ins in order to "stay on-track."  All design work must be your own original work.  These three design projects will account for  90% of your final grade.  The actual breakdown is as follows:
 Project 1…………………. 10%
 Project 2…………………. 15%
 Project 3…………………. 65%
E. Grading Scale:
Grade Breakdown:
Literature/Design Research     10%
Projects                                       90%
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 2010 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 College Catalog & Handbook.
C. Equipment:
Students are expected to take utmost care when using equipment provided by Pellissippi State.  No tobacco use, eating, or drinking will be allowed in labs.  Students are not to load unauthorized software on the computers. Do not use floppy disks for CAD drawings in any other computers other than in IDT and CID labs.  Students are responsible for maintaining current copies of drawings on their disks.  Do not relocate computers, monitors, digitizers or keyboards without supervision by an instructor.  Do not copy, delete or move files without instruction by an instructor. IDT and CID labs are structured such that two students share a computer during lab periods.
