WELCOME TO CAD/Technical Drawing

 

REQUIRED MATERIALS:

Ø      Text: Inside AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows

Ø      Student folder: this will remain in class and will hold all drawings for the course

Ø      Binder for notes, handouts, quizzes and tests.

 

ASSIGNMENTS:

            Written assignments must have your name, date, period and title of the assignment. All answers should be written in complete sentences so the question you are answering will be obvious. If you are doing a calculation be sure to show all work.

           

HOMEWORK:

            Homework is checked at the beginning of class and is not accepted after it has been checked. If you cannot complete an assignment it is your responsibility to come in before class to obtain the help required.

           

GRADES:

Homework

            Usually 5 points for each assignment. If you are absent when the homework is checked or was assigned you receive a -5 points and it is your responsibility to show me the completed work immediately upon your return.

Drawings

            Will make up most of your grade in this class so take the time to do them right.

Quizzes

            Usually 5 to 10 points.

Tests

            Unit tests are usually between 50-100 points and cover an entire unit.

Portfolio

            100 points. Failure to complete the portfolio project will result in a failing grade.

Grading Scale

            Once your point total has been established, divide your points by the total point’s possible and multiply by 100 to obtain you score. The following scale is used in this course

                                    100-90% = A*

                                     89-80% = B

                                     79-70% = C

                                     69-60% = D

                                     Less than 60% = F

To receive an A in this class you are required to successfully complete ALL drawing assignments as well as four

additional extension drawings. See your instructor for the extension drawings.

OFFICE HOURS

            If you need some help or need to catch up on your drawings you are welcome any time the door is open. The best time to get help for this class is in the morning but I am also available during lunch and after school. I generally arrive at school by 7:30 and leave around 4:30 but am willing to arrive earlier or stay later if needed. If you need to reach me after hours you may leave a message on my voice mail at 367-9780 ext. 8617 or e-mail me at cdodge@seq.org.

            Email is the best way to contact me.

 

            Current grades are posted weekly in order to help you monitor your progress. This also allows you to spot any errors that may have been made in your score, but of course I never make xerrrors.
