There is strong sentiment in the class that we hold the Final Draught on 26 April at 2:30 PM.

In that case, the last Draughting Assignment (#16) is due on 7 May.

In this course, the use of a computer aided drafting program is introduced. The goal is that students gain a familiarity with conventions used in technical drawing/drafting programs. Some attention will also be given to the importing of diagrams and figures into documents.

The course work will consist of drawing assignments, relating to various sorts of engineering or environmental science. Each assignment will be worth the same number of points. A 10% penalty will be assessed on assignments handed in late. At the end of the semester there will be a Final Drawing Examination. This will consist of a timed series of drawing tasks designed to assess each student’s degree of familiarity with the drafting program. The course grade, then, is based on the total number of points accumulated during the semester. Each student is expected to submit his or her own work. Of course, it is also expected that students will discuss the assignments with each other, or the instructor, while the assignments are being done.  If two or more students submit assignments that look too much alike, the score for that assignment will be divided equally among those two or more students. 

Letter grades will be assigned according to the following scheme:

93.33% . . .

A

90.00% . . .

A-

86.67% . . .

B+

83.33% . . .

B

80.00% . . .

B-

76.67% . . .

C+

73.33% . . .

C

70.00% . . .

C-

66.67% . . .

D+

63.33% . . .

D

60.00% . . .

D-

<60.00% . . .

F

Students will be issued personal identification numbers (PIN) with which they may access their scores through the course web page.

There will be a great temptation to put off the drawing assignments--don’t do that. At the end of the semester the computer lab is often very busy and it may be difficult to gain access to one of the computers having the drafting program installed.

Academic dishonesty is inconsistent with the moral character expected of students in a university committed to the spiritual and intellectual growth of the whole person.  It also subverts the academic process by distorting all measurements.  It is a serious matter and will be dealt with accordingly.  A list of unacceptable practices, penalties to be assigned, and procedures to be followed in prosecuting cases of alleged academic dishonesty may be found in the Student Handbook.

Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the Disability Support Services Office, Doyle room 26, at 375-2065 as soon as possible to better ensure that such accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion.
