Method of Evaluation and Competencies:

Competency completion level/ Lab Assignments  30-60% of grade 
Tests and quizzes   20-50% of grade 
Attendance, attitude and work habits 10-20% of grade 
TOTAL   100%

Attitude and Work Habits: Although attendance is important, productive
attitudes and work habits affect morale, efficiency, accuracy and safety
in the automotive shop and will be a factor in determining grades. In
addition, collaboration and teamwork will be expected and evaluated. 

Grading scale:               A = 90-100%         
                             B = 80- 89%           
                             C = 70- 79%           
                             D = 60- 69%           
                             F = Below 60%

Grade Criteria:

Caveats:

The Associated Cost for all of the tools required for the Automotive Technology degree will be $300 - $800. The tool cost is a one time purchase for auto students. The same basic tools are used for all our classes in the degree program.
Safety glasses with side shields are required to be worn during lab activities for this course. This is in compliance with accepted eye protection practices and Kansas State Law (K.S.A. 72-5207). Safety glasses must meet American National Standards Institute Z87.1 specifications. (NOTE: Most prescription eyewear does not meet ANSI Z87.1. Students who wear prescription glasses must: a) Provide evidence that existing eyewear meets ANSI Z87.1, or b) Wear cover goggles (if allowable), or c) Purchase and wear ANSI Z87.1 prescription eyewear.
Lab Guidelines: In order to assist with the safe and efficient operation of the automotive lab area, students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the Automotive Student Lab Guidelines.
