1. Course Outline You will be given individual course outlines on the first day of class for each course. The course outline contains the course objectives, course topics, evaluation criteria, grading breakdown and other important facts. Be aware that instructors have the authority to alter course outlines and some may be “in revision”. Your instructor will review the outline with you and identify any modifications during the first class. Read the course outline and use them as a primary resource and study guide for your courses, projects, assignments, quizzes and exams. Policies will be to the discretion of the instructor.
The Interior Design Department uses the following grading strip. Instructors may choose to indicate standings on assignments and examinations with a letter or percentage grades. Final grades will be recorded as a letter grade and forwarded to the Registrar. A minimum grade of C (60%) (2.0) is required to pass all of our courses.* Letter F C C+ B- B B+ A- A A+ Per

16 | Interior Design Technology Handbook ATTENDANCEG.POLICY
Interior Design Technology Handbook | 17 1. Classroom Attendance
3. Field Trip Attendance An important part of the Interior Design Program are the field trips arranged to allow students to expand their awareness of design material, design trends and the interior design field as a whole. Field trips will be announced as dates and arrangements are confirmed. These field trips are recognized, as a valuable learning situation and as a result attendance for all field trips will be compulsory! For the field trips, students are responsible for the cost of transportation (travel to and from airport, flights and city transportation costs) as well as venues such as trade shows, museums and meals. Students may also be responsible for accommodations. Field trips arranged as part of specific course will have a pass/fail grade assigned to that course. In order to pass this course, the students must attend the field trip. Failure to attend/pass the field trip will result in the failure of this course. In the event of medical or family emergency, college policy will prevail. There may be occasions when you will be expected to provide your own transportation to a field trip site.
Regular classroom attendance and punctuality are essential for success in any course. Late arrivals and early departures are subject to disciplinary action which may include reduction of the final grade for the course, probationary status or required withdrawal from class. Absence for any reason does not relieve a student the responsibility of completing course work and assignments to the satisfaction of the instructor. Please refer to course outlines for attendance policy. In cases of repeated absences due to illness, the student is requested to submit a medical certificate. Instructors have the authority to require attendance at classes.
2. Classroom Participation In addition to regular attendance, it is expected that the students will participate enthusiastically in a self-motivated learning process. Students are expected to actively contribute to their own education.
18 | Interior Design Technology Handbook HONESTYACADEMICH.POLICY
• Cheating or plagiarism in any form is unacceptable. Cheating, which includes plagiarism, occurs when a student or group of students use or attempt to use unauthorized aids, assistance, materials or methods. Plagiarism occurs when a student represents the work of another person as his or her own.
• All work submitted by a student (including term papers, design assignments, drafting projects, research, etc.) must represent his/her own efforts, ideas, concepts and current understanding.
2. Guidelines and Beliefs
Lakeland College believes that academic honesty is the hallmark of true personal integrity. Student behavior, which reflects a commitment to this value, is a fundamental expectation and requirement during academic endeavors. Students are accountable for performing each academic task according to the principles of academic honesty.
• The reputation of students, faculty and the institution is damaged by cheating if appropriate discipline is not applied.
• The course instructor is responsible for handling each case of dishonesty when it occurs in the classroom, except where a major or repeated offence is involved.
Interior Design Technology Handbook | 19 1. Philosophy and Statement of Principle
Lakeland College and each student at the college will at all times strive to achieve the highest of academic standards and do so with integrity and honesty. Lakeland College endeavors to prepare students for a workforce where honesty and integrity are expected of both employees and institutions.
• Academic progress is measured by course assignments and examination. Thus, standards of academic achievement cannot be recognized when cheating occurs.
• Cheating devalues the credentials of the program and is detrimental to all students.
• The discipline procedure will follow established guidelines as outlined in the College’s Discipline Procedure 5.57 available from Student Services, the Student Association, or the Department Chair.
• When disciplinary action is warranted, penalties will ensue in a prompt and fair manner.
• In a case of suspected cheating on a test or final examination, the instructor will ascertain to the best of his/her ability that dishonest acts are being committed.
• The instructor of the course will assess the severity of the alleged infraction and respond accordingly. The instructor will initiate the disciplinary process as soon as possible within a framework of ten working days of the alleged infraction.
• Cheating on examinations by the use of crib notes, unauthorized retrieval of information preciously stored in a computer or calculator outside the examination room, copying from another paper, either before or during the examination, or by any other means.
• Deliberately copying another student’s work in whole or in part.
• In a case of suspected plagiarism, the instructor is responsible for meeting with the student(s) to discuss the reason(s) for believing the work is plagiarized and will, upon evidence, choose an action from Disciplinary Options.
4. Implementation
• Unauthorized collaboration on the preparation and submission of course work
• Theft of examination papers.
• Submission of the work of others, published or not, I whole or in part without acknowledgement or proper documentation
20 | Interior Design Technology Handbook
• In matters of dishonesty, the instructor will write a brief report of the incident and submit it along with all relevant support documents (test papers, crib notes, essay, etc.) to the appropriate Department Chair. The Department Chair and Instructor(s) are responsible for any further action if warranted.
• Falsifying results of laboratory experiments.
• Buying or in any way using a term paper or other project composed by another person and turning it in as an original.
3. Academic Dishonesty Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to;
• The instructor may consult with another instructor or invigilator to confirm suspicions. The student will be notified immediately that he/ she has been observed cheating and may be asked to leave the examination room.
• Having someone else write an examination or writing an examination for someone else
• Deliberately allowing another student to copy one’s work.

5. Practicum ID 450 ID 450, Interior Design Practicum is the final course prior to graduation and is graded on a pass/fail basis. Successful completion of ID 450 awards the student 8 credits.
The search for practicum placements in the field of interior design within the industry
Studentscompetitive.shouldunderstand that all potential placements are granted on the basis of qualifications, attitude and interview skills.
Students will be directed to geographic locations where actual practicum opportunities are. These may vary from one year to another and Lakeland College is not obligated to pursue an opportunity in the student’s preferred geographic area.
Failure to achieve at least a C in any single course will jeopardize a student’s ability to move forward in the program because of the nature of a lock-step approach in delivery. Pre-requisites and co-requisites are necessary to proceed.
A student must have successfully completed all required first year courses before consideration is given to timetabling/enrolling the student into second year courses.
The purpose of the practicum is to provide a work experience in which a student can implement the knowledge, skills and training learned during the academic semesters. The employer will evaluate the student’s performance. Evaluation forms are supplied by the college. Practicum placements are not employment placements but are for practical work experience. The practicum is eight (8) weeks in duration. The practicum starts around the beginning of May and is over near the end of June each academic year.

2. Timetabling of Courses
Student timetables for the academic term will be assigned at registration. Timetables will indicate the weekly and daily scheduling of all required courses. Students should take note of the room/building numbers for course location and the name of the instructor who will deliver the course. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding timetables discuss the matter with the program’s Department Chair.
Interior Design Technology Handbook | 23
The course sequencing chart on the previous page indicates all courses required for graduation from the program. Students are to note that failure to successfully complete a course that is a prerequisite to a subsequent higher level course will prevent the student from progressing further in the Interior Design program until the course deficiency is cleared or corrected.
