however, they may use their own equipment. If departmental equipment is accepted and is not
returned in acceptable condition, the student will be expected to pay for replacement cost.

B. Assessment

1. Class preparation

5
It is the general policy that the student contributes a minimum of two hours of preparation time
for each one hour of class time. Time usually would be spent reading the assignment, library
reviews, term paper preparation, or other assignments expected to achieve the stated outcomes
for the course.

2. Homework/Laboratory Assignments

One design project will be assigned for this course.

Homework assigned for the course will be completed in accordance with the format and
expertise expected and demanded by the professional standards normally found acceptable by
the industry. Work is expected to be completed in a timely fashion and submitted to the
instructor for evaluation. Just as in industry, when a bid is submitted after the bid time and
date, it is not considered. NO LATE WORK.

Bring textbook and supplemental materials daily. Keep all work until the end of the semester
for reference (it is strongly suggested the student use a 1 ½” to 2” binder for handouts).

3. Class Attendance Policy

The faculty of the School of Technology agrees with the UCM Class Attendance Policy as
described in the GENERAL CATALOG. "Students are expected to attend all lectures,
seminars, laboratories, and field work for each registered class, and to complete all work
assigned by the instructor for the course. Advance arrangements for unavoidable absences
should be made with the instructor whenever possible."

Students who must be absent from a regularly scheduled mastery test for good reason may
arrange with the instructor to take the test off-schedule if, and only if arrangements are made
PRIOR to the scheduled test period; however, this privilege will be denied if the student has
excessive absences during that semester.

Normally, make-up of in-class assignments or quizzes will not be permitted.


However, students may be excused from the in-class activity or alternate assignments may be
available if arrangements have been made with the instructor PRIOR to the class period.

Homework assignments can be given for a missed unexcused absence; however, acquiring
assignment instruction and information given in class becomes the responsibility of the
student. All work for unexcused absences will be due on the same day as all other students;
even if the student obtains the homework information on the day that it is due.

4. Class session

The following instructional procedures and methods will be utilized to serve as vehicles to
achieve the outcomes of the course.

1. Lecture/demonstrations
2. Group Discussion
3. Laboratory/Research exercises
4. Homework Assignments
5. Tests/Quizzes
6. Video Presentations

5. Class Participation

6
Active participation in class is encouraged and sought in order to have an interesting learning
experience. Students will be called upon to discuss the reading material and current class
lectures. Students will be expected to have read the assigned material before class.

C. Assessment for this Course

1. Grading System

Since this course is designed to help students improve their knowledge, skill and personal
characteristics, all three elements will be used in evaluation.

Each student will be evaluated on their work and ability to succeed in course-related activities.
The course grade will be a composite of daily assignments and projects (laboratory
experiences), test and quizzes, and personal attributes. STUDENTS MUST HAVE A
PASSING AVERAGE IN BOTH THE SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE AREAS. Evaluation
of student performance will be based on the following criteria:

Homework/lab-work . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35%
Tests (3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40%

69% - 60% D
59% or below F

D. Course Organization Policies

1. Statement of Academic Honesty (plagiarism)

Any instance of plagiarism, cheating, and academic dishonesty will result in a grade of “F” or
“NO POINTS” for the assignment or test and could result in an “F” for the course. Also see
the UCM General Catalog or Student Handbook/Calendar for further details on academic
dishonesty policies.

2. Test/Quiz Policy

Test, quizzes and evaluations will be administrated periodically during the semester. Content
for the course will be divided into sections, with major tests as scheduled, and the final
examination will be what is commonly classified as a “comprehensive final”. Quizzes may be
administrated unannounced at the discretion of the instructor. Special short assignments of
problems will be used when this method seems most appropriate to explore pertinent topics.

3. Accident Policy

Students must immediately inform their class and/or laboratory instructor or his designated
replacement (any SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY faculty member or graduate assistant) of any
medical or accident emergency which occurs in any classroom or lab in the School of
