Work in the lab and classroom correlated. The student is first told and shown why and how a mechanism works. He/she then goes to the lab verifies what was seen and heard in lecture. All repair, overhaul and other service work is likewise preceded by classroom lecture and demonstration. There is little time lapse between classroom presentation and related lab work; the student applies the theory before it has had a chance to grow stale in the mind. VIII. METHOD OF EVALUATION: A. Regular attendance is a must because performance in the lab under actual working conditions is stressed B. Quality of work C. Quantity of work D. Effort and attitude to include: 1. Cooperation with group and instructor 2. Care and use of equipment [...].. .MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND DIFFERENTIAL AXLES AUTO-1290 3 Organization and pride in work 4 General courtesy and respect for rule and general situation in the lab 5 Observation of safety factors 6 Respect for other students and their work 7 Thriftiness in use of materials and equipment E Tests are given at frequent intervals Two types of tests are given - practical in lab and written in... lab and written in classroom F Final grade will be determined by the following criteria: 1 Quality and quantity of work 2 Effort and attitude 3 Testing - practical and written IX ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: Academic integrity forms a fundamental bond of trust between colleagues, peers, teachers, and students, and it underlies all genuine learning At WNCC, there is no tolerance for plagiarism or academic dishonesty... with disabilities If you qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), please notify the Director of Counseling, 308-6356090, as soon as possible to begin the process of documentation review and determination of appropriate accommodation or adaptive strategies 10-28-09 10 .
