Student Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:
1. Safely and responsibly perform automotive repairs to meet automotive industry standards
2. Determine necessary repairs to bring the emission control system into industry compliance for proper driveability and emissions

Attendance Policy: (Class attendance is not a measure of performance or proficiency. Whether a student is just physically present in the class is not a valid basis for grading. Reference Title 5 Section 55002 of the California Code of Regulations: (A) Grading Policy. The course provides for measurement of student performance in terms of stated course objectives and culminates in a formal, permanently recorded grade based upon uniform standards in accordance with section 55758 of this Division. The grade is based on demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter and the ability to demonstrate that proficiency, at least in part, by means of written expression that may include essays, or, in courses where the curriculum committee deems them to be appropriate, by problem solving exercises or skills demonstrations by students.)

The class instructor has the right to terminate a student’s enrollment when a student is absent for more than one hour for each unit of class credit, however, it is the student’s responsibility to initiate the withdrawal or drop procedure in a timely manner if the student chooses to no longer attend the class.If a student does not drop the class before the final drop date, the student must receive a grade.

Attendance is very important; if you are not in class you can’t hear the lecture, see the video, or perform lab work. A student can be dropped for missing four classes without personal or telephone contact with the instructor (see student handbook). Leaving class early without instructor’s permission is considered an absence. The instructor uses the time just after roll call to review course material, perform lab demonstrations, and administer the automotive knowledge test. Missing this time will affect your grade and you will get less out of the class. You should treat your Auto 85.6 Class as if you are employed in an auto shop, no employer will put up with an employee coming in late or having too many absences. Roll (time card) will be taken at 8:00 AM sharp each morning, if you are not in your seat you are not counted, roll will also be taken at the end of class (punch out your time card).

Note: If you disrupt the class by talking at inappropriate times you will be asked to leave the class, see the VVC Student Handbook.

SAFETY: Before you are allowed to perform any maintenance or repairs on a vehicle, you must take the required SP-2 Safety Tests. They will be graded as a final chapter test- see the safety section of the Course Syllabus posted on Blackboard for instructions (your account will be set up by the end of the first day of the semester).

All students will be given thorough safety instructions and an S/P-2 safety test (must

be passed with a grade of 80% or more before lab work is allowed). Log on to the

Internet sp2.org website. Your user name is 78442, your password is fact, and your

pin is your last 6 digits of your student ID number. Read the information presented

for S/P2 Training for Mechanical Repair Safety and S/P2 Training for

Mechanical Repair Pollution Prevention, take the quizzes, take both finals.

Successful completion of these two tests satisfy your safety requirements for one

year in the VVC Automotive Program. All lab rules and safety practices must be

followed. Failure to follow these rules is cause to be dropped from class. NOTE:

All students are required to have and bring eye protection (no sun glasses) (eye

protection will NOT be loaned from the tool crib) to all lab sessions. A student must

put on their eye protection as they walk from the classroom into shop. For every task

in Engine Performance the following safety requirement must be strictly enforced:

Comply with personal and environmental safety practices associated with clothing;

eye protection; hand tools; power equipment; proper ventilation; and the handling,

storage, and disposal of chemicals/materials in accordance with local, state, and

federal safety and environmental regulations.
