Expected Student Behavior

 

\
Notebook & Class Equipment
\
Students are required to take notes during lectures, and to turn in a notebook for grading prior to the final exam. Articles, accumulated information, and useful reference material that pertain to relative course topics will be counted towards the notebook grade. Notebook should contain handouts, formula sheets, test, assignments, and task list. All items will be graded from the notebook. Student shall furnish a scientific calculator and personal protective equipment to include safety glasses. Student shall have their own personal hand tools similar to those on the department service tool list. Student shall furnish necessary computer media for information transfer. Student shall furnish required text and Handyman Pocket Handbook.
\
 
\
Shop Policy
\
Read safety handouts provided, use common sense, maintain safe shop practices, keep your Lab clean, and orderly. Keep all safety shields/guards, and equipment in place at all times. Notify your Instructor of faulty wiring/equipment, worn or damaged tools, or missing parts. No horseplay is allowed whatsoever. Academic disciplinary measures will be promptly administered to offending person(s). Please help the Instructor to maintain order so that he can be free to use your time for more effective teaching, and less time housekeeping. We all can enjoy the benefits of an effective and conducive learning environment. Remember to use your safety glasses when entering the shop area. Always perform proper Lock-out / Tag-out.
\
 
\
Tools, Equipment, and Clothing
\
Students shall wear appropriate clothing to perform any work task assigned. Tools and equipment specified for this class and any recommended preliminary class in the Nondestructive Testing and Evaluation curriculum are to be furnished by the student. Failure to dress for work or bring needed equipment may count as an absence. All tools should be properly used and cared for, thus allowing for longevity and safety of both the user and the tool.
\
 
\
Stealing, vandalism, or pilferage will be dealt with severely!! No drugs, tobacco, drinks, or food allowed!

Grading Criteria

Course Evaluations:

Students should complete all performance tasks on time at REQUIRED MASTERY LEVEL. Tasks, projects, and various assignments will be scored based on time; accuracy; neatness; completeness; procedure; skill; detail; motivation and attitude; safety practices; clean up; care of manuals, logbooks, and references; and other grading criteria. No task shall be rated until assignment is complete. Complete shall include condition and cleanliness of equipment; cleanup of work areas; tool condition and return; all projects, supplies and materials being stored properly. Failure to bring books, notes, and equipment for a given class may result in a failing grade for that class period. Unless the instructor specifies otherwise, all homework is due at the beginning of the next class.

The student's numerical course grade will be calculated according to the following:

Professionalism  10%

Homework          20%

Course Exams     30%

Labs                    30%

Final Exam         10% 

The use of phones, tablets, e-readers, or laptops are not allowed on exams. No windows other than the exam window will be opened during exams. 

I have a zero tolerance for academic dishonesty, each student must do their own work. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade for the course.

You are required to take the final exam to pass this course.

The student's numerical course grade will be converted to a course letter grade according to the following scale:

A = 90 to 100, B = 80 to 89, C = 70 to 79, D = 60 to 69, F = Below 60

Your instructor does not round up automatically, any rounding is dependent upon your professionalism grade and attendance (including arriving on time).

 INSTRUCTOR'S STATEMENT:  As your instructor, I am always willing to discuss your grades with you and explain how your grade was determined.  If a grading error has been made on my part, I am always willing to correct the error.

Attendance

 

Attendance in class and lab participation is regarded as a requirement and an obligation for learning. Student is responsible for signing-in and sign-out with the provided system, just as they would at work. Failure to sign-in or sign-out will result in loss of points for that session. The Instructor will adjust system for classes that vary from schedule. All attendance points will come from sign-in sheet. Tampering with the time system will result in the loss of all attendance points for that student. Attendance to the end of the last hour block or until instructor releases class is required in order to receive any of the points. Failure to bring required equipment will result in a loss of all points for the class period.
