4.	COURSE DESCRIPTION:
	Students will produce a set of residential construction plans based on sketches produced and provided. Students will study the current techniques for graphic representation of residential architectural plans.
5.	COURSE GOAL:
	Students will produce assigned architectural drawings for a residential building using current architectural drafting standards.

7.	EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
	The student will be graded on his/her demonstrated skills at producing a set of residential plans (6 drawings). Each drawing will be evaluated on a scale of 100. After your drawings have been turned-in on time and graded, you may re-do/correct your errors and receive up to ½ the points lost on the first grading.
	You will be given homework assignments from the workbook. These must be turned in on time in order to receive full credit. These assignments may not be done over to increase your grade. You will also be given occasional quizzes on homework assignments, drawing assignments, and lecture material.
	5% - The student’s grade will be based on the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s attendance pattern, demonstration of a professional attitude, and participation in class activities/discussions.
