Civil Engineering and Architecture SYLLABUS

Mr. Stuerzenberger- Room 153

A. Learning Management System

B. Notebooks - A binder will be required of all students and it may not include other classes. Binders are required for class daily and will be checked weekly throughout the course. You must also have your binder in class the day it is checked and you will not be permitted to leave the classroom to get your binder. Late binders drop one letter grade each day it is late. I will provide a place in the classroom for binders to be kept to insure you always have your binder in class.

C. Exam –A comprehensive final exam will be given at the end of the course and will count for 20% of the course grade. There will also be several unit tests and section quizzes throughout the course.

D. Grading Policy- Each activity will be assigned points and points accumulated will be averaged with total points possible. The grading scale is listed below:

A- 90-100

B- 89-80

C- 79-70

D- 69-65

F- 64 or below

E. Homework Policy - Late homework is not acceptable and will not receive full credit. One letter grade will be dropped for each day the assignment is late. If you have extenuating circumstances, it will be dealt with on an individual basis and left up to teacher discretion.

F. Make-up Policy - Students who are absent are responsible for all work missed. THIS IS TOTALLY YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!! It is your responsibility to collect all missed work from the daily folders located in the classroom. You have 2 school days to make-up work with an excused absence. Students with a long-term absence will be dealt with on an individual basis. Once a unit test has been given, you will not be permitted to make up any missing work from that unit.

G. Course Content: Students learn important aspects of building and site design and development. They apply math, science, and standard engineering practices to design both residential and commercial projects and document their work using 3D architecture design software.
