Course Activities and Design
This course will be presented with varied forms of lecture, demonstration, practical exercise and review, in order to provide the information necessary for you to complete a final project. Each class will begin with a lecture covering specific concepts, ideas, and methods to illustrate daily learning objectives. After each lecture the class will follow along with practical exercises that help demonstrate the concepts, ideas, and methods presented.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
The completion of a final project will determine the majority of the grade. However, a combination of attendance, in-class participation, and weekly assignment completion will be factored into the final grade. Students will also be required to complete “time sheets” documenting out-of-class and lab hours spent on final projects.
