TEACHING METHODS
A.
B.
XIV.
1.
Methods to achieve course objectives:
1.
Related material will be presented through designated class lecture and lab demonstrations.
2.
Additional studies will be required from technical manuals specific to individual topics.
3.
Students to augment classroom lecture will complete problem-solving situations.
Methods used in achieving learner independence and critical thinking:
1.
Each student is required to provide a written assessment of the demonstrated lab project and must specify the
results obtained.
2.
Given a problematic task, each student is required to delineate the steps needed to resolve the problem or obtain
the prescribed results.
3.
The student will diagram basic pneumatic/hydraulic systems showing the essential components.
