SYLLABUS
Instructor: Mr. Quick
Supplies needed: Safety glasses w/Z87 rating,
Coveralls, Striker, Notebook w/paper and pen or pencil. The items needed can be
purchased from the school or privately.
Expectations and Grading: This is a work based class that will
be graded on three areas. The first area is work performance (60%), which means
test scores, lab scores, project performance (quality), and completion. The
second area is attendance (25%), which means coming to class on time, prepared,
and making up absences. The third area is your daily log (15%). The log will be
graded on completeness and accuracy. For example, you must have dates and time
spent on each project in your log book. You will also need a description of the
work done, include tools and processes used.
