Evaluation
Final grade will be based on six
areas:
Final Test...............
...............10%
Quiz scores...........
.....25%
Employee
Characteristics
.10%
Performance Tests..
.....30%
Summaries..............
.
.......5%
Lab Logs &
Worksheets.............20%
No unit tests will be given in this course.
PERFORMANCE TEST: Each performance test will test a skill or
procedure learned in the lab. Performance tests CAN NOT be retaken!
QUIZZES: A quiz may be given every other day. A missed quiz cannot be
made up. Each student may be required to write 5 quiz questions as part of
their quiz score. These are due before the quiz and will not be accepted late.
The lowest quiz score will be dropped.
EMPLOYEE
CHARACTERISTICS: Students will receive a weekly grade based on their
demonstration of basic employee characteristics expected by employers. These
include Dependability, Punctuality, Productivity, Teamwork, Communication,
Safety, and Cleanup. The instructor will rate each characteristic weekly on the
following scale:
0 Unacceptable,
does not meet minimum requirements
2 - Consistently
meets minimum requirements
3 - Occasionally
exceeds minimum requirements
4
- Consistently exceeds minimum requirements
LAB LOGS: A weekly lab
log will be kept by each student. The
student will record his/her lab activity for the week. A weekly grade will be determined from the
students log. Any lab sheets will be
turned in with the log. The log must be turned in two school days
after the last lab period for the week.
A log not turned in on time will result in a zero for the weekly lab
grade.
The log entry must
include the following: Name, Day & Date, Description of the lab activity
for each day (minimum of five sentences), Five things learned that
week, Difficulties experienced that week and Description
of the best part of the lab activity for the week.
FINAL TEST: Students will take a comprehensive final
test during the last week of the course.
SUMMARIES: Each student will be required to read
articles about Electronics
and/or Driveability in today's
automobiles. The articles should come from trade journals and magazines. A
one-paragraph summary will be turned in for each article. The summary must
include article title, author, publication name and date. One
summary will be collected each week on Thursday. Summaries will not be accepted
10 minutes after class starts the day they are due, except in cases of
absence.
Final Grading
Scale:
A
90 - 100%
B
.80 - 89%
C
70 - 79%
D
.60 - 69%

Benefits
of taking this class
Students who
successfully complete this course will have increased their understanding of
how fuel injection systems and computer control systems function. They will
also learn how to test the components of the systems.
Study
Tips
To be successful
students must complete the assignments given them. Working in small groups of
two will increase the learning in the lab.
