Attendance Policy

Attendance is mandatory, as Instruction is skill based with HANDS-ON LEARNING and Lab Materials integrated into LAB Instruction.

Method of Instruction

Interior Finish  material coordination is developed with Lab Exercises using samples from the Materials Library.

Expected Learner Outcomes
Following the completion of this course, you should be able to:

The student will become competent in Plan Drawing, Scale Measuring, Blue Printing, Architectural Lettering, sample Color Scheme Coordination, Color Rendering, and Swatch Board construction by completing many skill building exercises and assignments.

Course Competencies
Following the completion of this course, you should be able to:

Use drafting tools correctly and produce accurate Scale Drawings using the correct symbols in the ½" and ¼" Scales.

Dimension plans in Architectural Units and Fractional Units when required.

Complete 2D drawings with a title block containing the required information, north arrow, and legend or schedule if required.

Paint mix color media to the hue and value of specific material samples and render the color, texture, and scale of pattern of the applied samples in the correct area on a blue print to communicate to the client how a project will look.

Apply the visual presentation skills of swatch board preparation combined with an oral explanation of a design concept.

Use the skills learned in this course to prepare a Portfolio using basic Scale Drawing, Color Rendering, and Swatch Board Construction.

Assessment of Learner Outcomes
The following criteria will be used to determine your final grade:

This is a Hands-on Skill Lab that advances in difficulty throughout the course. Classes missed hinder  Student Learning  Progress. Points from the individual Scale drawing assignments, Finish Material Color Schemes, Color Rendered Plans, and Swatch Board Construction and Oral Presentation will be totaled to determine the Final Grade

Grading Criteria

A = 93-100%   C = 73-76
A- = 90-92   C- = 70-72
B+ = 87-89   D+ = 67-69
B = 83-86   D = 63-66
B- = 80-82   D- = 60-62
C+ = 77-79   F = 59 and below

Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is submitting one's own work and properly acknowledging the work of others. Cheating, plagiarism, or fabrication constitutes academic dishonesty and is subject to disciplinary action.

According to Webster, to plagiarize is "to steal or pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own….to use created productions without crediting the source….to commit literary theft….to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source."

Kirkwood students are responsible for authenticating any assignment submitted to an instructor. If asked, you must be able to produce proof that the assignment you submitted is actually your own work. Therefore, we recommend that you engage in a verifiable working process on assignments. Keep copies of all drafts of your work, make photocopies of research materials, write summaries of research materials, hang onto Writing Center receipts, keep logs or journals of your work on assignments and papers, learn to save drafts or versions of assignments under individual file names on the computer, diskette, etc.

The inability to authenticate your work, should an instructor request it, is sufficient grounds for failing the assignment.

In addition to requiring a student to authenticate his/her work, Kirkwood Community College instructors may employ various other means of ascertaining authenticity such as engaging in internet searches, creating quizzes based on student work, requiring students to explain their work and/or process orally, etc.

Americans with Disabilities
Kirkwood Community College complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Students with disabilities who need accommodations to achieve the course objectives should file an accommodation application with the Learning Services located in ROOM 133 of LINN HALL as soon as possible.
