Introduction
Hi…my name is Jason Oliver and I’ll be your instructor for the ARCHT-110 / ID-110 Architectural Drafting course. I am a licensed California Architect, Chair of the COC Architecture & Interior Design program and a LEED Accredited Professional with specialty in Building Design & Construction (LEED AP BD&C).
…. many students register for online or hybrid courses believing they will be easier or require less time than a traditional face-to-face class. Online and Hybrid courses sometimes require a greater commitment of your time & focus than a traditional course and while you will definitely benefit by not having to travel to campus to the extent you would for a traditional class, the discipline and responsibility necessary for completing the course is essentially all on your shoulders (…you will need to schedule time every week for viewing the lectures and completing the required homework & exams on-time). Ok… so let’s learn how to draft!
Course Description
Provides the student with information concerning current practices in architectural drafting and construction technology sufficient for the student to produce a set of working drawings for a small single family residence. Drafting techniques will emphasize clarity, line weight expression, and accuracy.
What to Expect in this Course
This course involves manually drafting (using pencils and paper) a small set of working drawings for a single story wood frame residence, incorporating current drafting techniques, applying appropriate terminology on call-outs and notes, and submitting the set of drawings in the correct order according to industry standards.
This class will utilize the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to complete our course requirements including discussions, grades, and other course activities (note that only students registered for the course will have access to the course on Canvas).
Please log into Canvas by visiting https://coc.instructure.com on the first scheduled date of our course.

In order to comply with FERPA privacy requirements, correspondence with the college not coming from your student email account will be disregarded.
