There will be a station for you to clock in and out. Clock in as soon as you enter the room and clock out once you leave for the day. The time clock will be your responsibility. If you forget to clock out, I will give you a ZERO for the day since I will not know when you have left.

Each tasksheet MUST include the vehicle you are using to complete the assignment. If a question does not apply to the vehicle, don't leave it blank. Put "N/A" for that question. I have to know what vehicle the information you looked up applies to in order to verify. Also some tasksheets involve researching information only. You can use a vehicle in the lab or your personal vehicle to research the information on, but WRITE THE VEHICLE INFORMATION DOWN.
