  • Assessment and Requirements

    Assessment of Academic Achievement

    All students will be required to complete a comprehensive final examination that assesses the learning of all course objectives.  This exam will consist of four drawings, at least one being a CAD drawing.  This exam must be weighted in a manner so that the exam score is worth a minimum of fifteen percent of the final course grade.  This exam is to be a common exam administered to all sections of TAGD 120.

    General Course Requirements and Recommendations

    The student will be required to bring the drafting equipment used in previous  drafting courses.  Modeling clay is also required.

    Texts

    Texts, handouts, and/or workbooks will be determined by the TAE Department.
