AM 111 - LAB & CLASSROOM CHECK LIST
Note: Include all lab work accomplished during lab time. Live work or bench work will satisfy
requirements depending upon Job Sheet recommendations.
Become familiar with the NATEF Standards Job Sheets manual. Keep up with this and be complete! Use
the shop manuals for guidelines but do not substitute for the use of good repair data for procedures and
specifications on specific vehicles. Use Electrical & Electronics NATEF STANDARDS JOB SHETS Test A6,
Jack Erjavec as the manual for the labs. Students must verify competence in each task by instructors
signature or initials on each Job Sheet completed (teachers do not send these checklists in, they are for your
records only).
Students must complete 95% -P1, 80% - P2, & 50% -P3 tasks to receive a grade in this course. Tasks can
be either performed physically or through any evaluation method the instructor deems appropriate.
