IV. GRADING PROCEDURES

Students' grades will be determined by the accumulation of points assigned for the various assignments. The standard point value per drawing will be 0 to 100 points. Points will be totaled a the following scale used to determine term (nine weeks) grades: 90-100% = A, 80-89% = B, "/ 79% = C, 60-69% = D, less than 60% = F. Semester grades will be determined using the stand;:: 2/5, 2/5, 1/5 scale (2/5 for the first term, 2/5 for the second term, and 1/5 for the Semester exam). It must be understood that to receive a passing grade the student must complete the set of 7 drawings - 1. Plot Plan, 2. Floor Plan, 3. Elevations, 4. Detail Sheet(s), 5. Perspective. The house model must also be completed and will be assigned a separate grade using a grade sheet similar to those used in grading the drawings. If any of the drawings or the model are missing or not complete, a grade of "F" will be awarded for the entire course. This includes the final set of bound drawings handed in
the completion of the course.

If any of the drawings or the model are missing or not complete, a grade of "F"
will be awarded for the entire course. This includes the final set of plotted drawings.
drawings handed in at the completion of the course.

V. BEHAVIOR. DISCIPLINE. and ATTENDANCE POLICIES

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner and in compliance with all District policies and regulations. Any and all violations of such policies and/or regulations will result in disciplinary action initiated by the instructor and administered by the school administration. Listings of these policies and regulations can be found in student handbooks and/or student folders. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the wilful destruction and/or deliberate misuse of school and personal property. Remember - this facility (laboratory) will most probably be the location of your interviews for future employment and/or schooling - it is critical that it be maintained in the best possible condition at all times. Attendance is taken only once during the class period. This usually occurs between one and two minutes after the sounding of the "beginning-of-class" bell. Students not present at the time roll is taken WILL BE MARKED ABSENT for the day, unless they have a signed pass from another teacher or from the administration office, In short, students are either present or absent at the time attendance is taken.

I have read, understand, and will comply with the above stated information.
