Architectural Drawing
Course Syllabus
Teacher: Mr. Mayes Credit: 1
This course offers an introductory level experience in the field of Architectural Drafting and Design. You will learn basic design principles and knowledge of the design process throughout the course of the year.
Expected Outcomes
At completion of this course students will have developed a complete working set of plans for a residential structure. The plans will be working set-of plans that follow residential building code guide lines. The completed plans will show all aspects of design and what goes into the planning and developing of a structure before it is actually constructed. Students will research and explore construction materials to apply to their designs for a structurally supportive structure.

Assessment and Evaluation
Drawings/Tests/Quizzes 80%
Participation 20%
All assignments that you turn in will be assessed under the criteria listed below.
Deadline: All projects must be turned in on time. Architects are forced to meet deadlines and have completion dates on all projects.
Objective: All of the assignments will focus on one or two objectives that must be completed. You will be graded on the efficiency and accuracy that you did to complete the project.
Performance: Using the proper techniques of design in order to accurately draw a symbol of design on the computer.
Character: All work must be neatly done using title blocks and proper labeling of all indicated items.
Grading Policy
All Assignments must be turned in within the week of the due date. This means that students have five days to turn in a plan after the due date without penalty. After the five day grace period students will lose 10 points for late assignments.
Plans that are late or were not turned-in must be handed to the instructor four days prior to the end of the marking period to be accepted and graded for the nine week marking period. Missing this deadline will be an automatic zero on the plan.
Attendance Policy
Attendance is critical in this particular classroom setting. The classroom is established and set-up to a real life working situation where people are needed to be at work to complete projects. Students need to be present in the classroom in order to complete assignments and meet deadlines. Students will usually not have the software at home to complete projects outside of the classroom. Failure to come to class will possibly lead to failure of the course.
