Course Requirements:

Grading/Exams:Grading will be determined based on tests, drawing assignments, quizzes, ElectronicLibrary/writing project, laboratory assignments, midterm and final exam.This course will include a comprehensive final exam.

GradingThe course grade will be determined as follows:

Attendance .. 13%

3-Ring binder (8 points) and (5) Warm up Quizzes. 13%Home works (10) . 10%

Lab assignments and drawings (12) ................ 24%

Electronic Research/Writing (2)... 10%Mid-term exam 10%

Final Exam .. 20% (2 hours max)

Note: Each class will include the lecture and lab works. There are ongoing assignments due.

Each student is expected to stay and work for the entire lab. Approximately 10-15 minutes is

allowed for cleanup and course-housekeeping activities.

Conversion of numeric average to Final (Letter) Grade:

90 - 100 = A

80 - 89 = B70 - 79 = C

60 - 69 = D

0 - 59 = F

Attendance PolicyAbsence / Lateness - NOT ALLOWED

ARRANGE TO GET NOTES FROM ANOTHER STUDENT.

You must take initiative to track down all the details of what was covered.

Absence reflects on your final grade effectively.

ELECTRONIC LAB ASSIGNMENT/Projects

Two electronic research projects are due. The first is due before midterm.

Help Screen:

Paper One: Find information from the AutoCAD help screen. Discuss how this has helped youwith the class by using an oral and written presentation. On Week 5, the first paper is due.
