Engineering Drafting and Design Course Outline: Classroom Policy

Attendance All classes and labs will start on time. Attendance will be taken during each class or lab session.   Attendance in labs and lectures is required. Excessive absences result in poor classroom performance, low grades, and possible failure.  

Attendance When absence is due to illness or other uncontrollable causes, the student should notify the instructor to make arrangements for the completion of assignments.   The student is responsible for all material covered in the class that he/she was absent. The student should arrange to meet with the instructor during the instructor’s office hours to review the material and assignments that was presented in class.

General Any student needing special arrangement due to a disability should discuss these needs with the instructor at the beginning of the semester and request serviced from the Supportive Services Center if necessary. Students are required to bring textbooks, notebooks, handouts, disks, special tools, equipment, materials, etc., to each class unless told otherwise.

Assignments Assignments are to be turned in on the dates designated. Late assignments will be penalized one letter grade for each class the assignment was late. Any student having difficulty completing an assignment should contact the instructor for help. An assignment not turned in will result in an automatic zero for that assignment grade. The instructor has the right to refuse an assignment if the assignment is not completed to the satisfaction of the instructor.
