Welcome to Design and Drawing for Production! This course teaches you the basic communication skills needed in the design and engineerings professions.

What todays lesson will cover is:

The basic rules of GW3

An overview of course procedures

How you will be marked

Todays lesson: Learning and using the HW procedure to complete the first HW assignment.

....and if there is enough time, we will begin lesson 1.1 activity 1 (1.1.1)

These rules are non negotiable.

Rule

What this means

Consequence for not following the rule

1.Be on time for class

Self explanatory

First time: warning and marked tardy for class

Second time: call home and marked tardy for class

Third time: Call home, marked tardy for class and a 1 hour detention in gw3.

2. No talking when the teacher is talking

There is a 10 minute lesson introduction every class. There are times when the class will be stopped to clarify parts of the days activity

First time: warning

Second time: call home

Third time: Call home and a 1 hour detention in gw3

3. No talking outside of your aisle

Most of the time, we work in pairs and groups and we help each other. However, you must never talk behind or in front of you. Only talk with your aisle mates( to your left and right)

First time: warning

Second time: call home

Third time: Call home and a 1 hour detention in gw3

4. Always clean up after yourself

This is a practical hands on course that uses tools and materials that must be put back when finished.

10% reduction in grade for the day’s activity. Marks can be restored if student does a chore outside of school

5. Absolutely no trash talk, disrespectful, offensive, sarcastic, or abusive language to hurt or bully anyone else in the room.

Self explanatory. Follow this simple advice:

If you don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say anything at all”

First time: warning

Second time: call home

Third time: The teacher will request from administration that you be removed from the course as a “safety hazard.” Almost all physical abuse begins with abusive language.

6. Follow all the rules for safe computer use

There is a list of Computer rules that are located at each computer as well as your procedures hand out.

Students who violate some of these rules, have, in the past, either been removed from the class permanently with a failing grade or lost computer privileges in the SCSD

7. No computer use when the teacher is talking to the class

Turn off the monitor, take your hands off the mouse and key board, and look up at the teacher

First time: warning

Second time: call home

Third time: Call home and a 1 hour detention in gw3

8. The addendum rule

Teacher can add or remove rules as needed.

GW3 Computer Rules

  1. Do not Log on to the computer until given permission to do so
  2. There is no surfing. Web research activities will be given and that is when you will be able to explore the web within the context of the activity
  3. This computer does not belong to you; therefore do not place your own screen saver or desk top image onto the monitor
  4. There is no game playing on this computer
  5. There is no social networking on the computer. No face book or my space or any other new or emerging social networking site
  6. There is no cell phone or mp3 player recharging, uploading, or downloading on this computer
  7. Do not physically abuse this computer
  8. Do not leave this computer without logging off
  9. The addendum rule: The teacher reserves the legal right to make changes to these rules at any time within district policy

Any violations of these rules will result in your removal from this room and you will complete this course using the tried and true method of books, pencil and paper.

Having this computer is a privilege (and not a right) that was gained through the hard work of many adults in the Syracuse city school district and the federal government.
