    Assessment of Student Performance:

     

    The student’s progress will be evaluated through the use of written quizzes, worksheets, oral quizzes, tests, and lab assignments.  Lab assignments will be visually inspected and/or destructively tested. Acceptance/Rejection criteria for an industry acceptable weld will be taken from a relevant AWS welding code.

    Course Evaluation:

     

    Weld performance evaluations, worksheets, quizzes, tests, completed welded jobs and participation will be translated to points. These points will be averaged to establish a letter grade. Students have daily access to updated grades as they are posted to AH Connect.  Student grades will be updated approximately every Friday.   Grades will be determined by the following scale:

     

    A 100%-90%

    B 80%-89%

    C 70%-79%

    D 60%-69%

    Below 60% will result in course failure.

     

    Student participation in lab activities is expected each day.  Students have the ability to earn up to 5 participation points each lab day.  Lab participation points will be deducted from that total for the following reasons:

     

    1.  Tardy arrival to class – This course is designed to prepare you for a career in our industry.  Arriving to work late will result in a penalty, as will arriving late to class.

     

    2.  Missing class – participation may be made up either before or after school with instructor’s permission.

     

                                    3.  Use of cell phone or ipod or other electronic devices during classroom or lab time.

     

    4.  Non participation in lab activities – Students are expected to participate and attempt to learn the prescribed lab activities.  This includes arriving to class in welding appropriate PPE.

     

    5.  Leaving class early or without permission from the instructor.

     

    6.  Any infraction that is counter to ISD #11 student code of conduct.

     

                    This is not a complete list, and student participation can and will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

     

     

    *There are approximately 1000 total points during the trimester.

     

     

     

     

     

    I have read and fully understand the guidelines in the Welding I course outline, and will do my best to successfully complete this course.
