TESTING POLICY:
The goal of this class is to develop
your skills. In order to evaluate
these skills a combination of
written and performance evaluations
will be given. The schedule of test
dates is shown in the attached course
outline, but is subject to change.
FEEDBACK POLICY:
The Instructor will provide prompt and ongoing feedback by returning graded
lab assignments within two weeks of submission; all other assignments turned
in on time will be returned graded within one week of submission. Current
student grades will also be available on student’s Moodle page.
NOTICE:
Representative student work will be used as a part of SMC’s on-going
curriculum assessment program.
OTHER COURSE
EXPECTATIONS:
All shop policies must be followed, using safe work practice rules.
These include, but are not limited to:
1.
All vehicles, including school owned cars, that enter the shop must have a
filled out repair order.
2. Any vehicle that is run in the shop must have an exhaust system in
functional condition, and it must be hooked to the shop’s ventilation

8. Profanity, ethnic or gender specific comments or jokes have no
place in the shop, classroom, or workplace. Lack of respect for
other students or personal or school property will be dealt with in an
appropriate manner. 1st violation will result in dismissal from the class
for the remainder of the day. The student will be marked as absent and
will lose attendance credit for that day.
9. All Vehicles will be inspected by the Instructor BEFORE it leaves the
shop.
10. Cell Phones are not permitted in the Classroom. Make sure they are set

A maximum of 5 labs per day may be turned in.
100% of labs must be completed in order to receive Lab Credit
NO LATE CLASSWORK will be accepted.
NO ONE is allowed in the tool crib except the instructor. 1 st violation
will result in dismissal from the lab and loss of attendance credit for the
day.
Students are expected to assist in maintaining a classroom environment that is
conducive to learning. In order to assure that all students have the
opportunity to gain from time spent in class; students are prohibited from
engaging in any form of distraction. Inappropriate behavior in the classroom
shall result, minimally, in a request to leave class.
ACCEPTABLE USE OF
PERSONAL
COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY:
All phones, iPods, Blackberries, Palm Pilots, pagers, laptops and
other technological devices including devices capable of taking
photographs must be turned off or placed on vibrate mode and may
not be brought out during class. If you are expecting or receiving
an urgent call, you are required to leave the classroom before
answering. Violation of this policy will result in your removal
from the classroom for the class period. Multiple violations of this
policy will be referred to the appropriate dean for disciplinary
action. Further details or ramifications of violations may be found
elsewhere in this syllabus. The instructor has the right to modify
this policy to meet the needs of the course.
HONESTY POLICY:
Cheating or plagiarizing will absolutely not be tolerated at
Southwestern Michigan College. Any student found cheating or
plagiarizing material in any manner may be assigned a failing
semester/session grade in this course. A second such incident while
at SMC could result in suspension or expulsion from the institution.
A student found in violation of this section of the syllabus will not
be allowed to drop this course. Additional detail regarding cheating
and/or plagiarism may be found elsewhere in this syllabus. For
more detailed information consult the SMC Code of Student
Conduct.
FIELD TRIP:
We will be taking a field trip to the Chicago Auto Show on
February 12th. Transportation will be provided and students will
be required to attend. There are a limited number of seats and they
will be available on a first come first served basis. We will leave at
8:30 that morning and will be returning around 4:30. You will be
updated further as more information becomes available.
NOTICE: Information in this syllabus was, to the best knowledge of the instructor, considered correct and complete

Special Project
Name: _____________________________
200 points
Objective: Upon completion of this project, you will have a more complete knowledge of one facet of the
electrical/electronic systems available in current vehicles and be able to share that knowledge with others.
General Guidelines: You will prepare an instructional video of yourself and your partner performing an Electrical
repair on a vehicle. It would be advised that you follow a lab for a guide but you may do any repair you wish; as long
as it is Electrical/Electronic related. You may (I recommend) work with a partner. No Groups. You will be
responsible for arranging a time to use the camera. The instructor will show you how to set it up but you are
responsible for filming/directing. The intent of these videos is to be put on the schools’ youtube.com page. This
way when someone searches for a repair on their Electrical system; you will be showing them what to do.
