Course Description
This course enables students to develop technical knowledge and skills as they study, test, service, and repair engine, electrical, suspension, brake, and steering systems on vehicles, aircraft, and/or watercraft. Students will develop communication and teamwork skills through practical tasks, using a variety of tools and equipment. Students will develop an awareness of environmental and societal issues related to transportation, and will learn about apprenticeship and college programs leading to careers in the transportation industry.
Final Evaluation in this course (30% of final mark)
The organization of expectations into strands and sub-groupings (A, B, C, & D) are not meant to imply that the expectations in any one strand or group are achieved independently of the expectations in the other strands or groups. The concepts, content, and skills identified in the different strands of each course should, wherever appropriate, be integrated in instruction throughout the course.

Assessments OF Learning
attendance, punctuality, attitude, co-operation, participation, communication (daily log, verbal), problem solving, safety (refer to Unit Two), organization, and clean-up.
I (teacher) will print assessments in the Daily Log and will give verbal assessments with individual students as they are working on their given practical project.
The student is required to keep the Daily Note & Log form in the student report folder/duo-tang in order of date. The report folder must be kept neat, organized, and placed in the class blue recycle bin (small, for the use of holding report folders only, not for recycle) on the last day of the given week. The teacher will usually mark the completed week (M/T/W/TH/F) during the weekend. The Daily Notes & Log has a rubric for the Daily Note, Daily Log, and Daily Practical.
The Daily Note is evaluated out of /5
Notes must be copied from the board exactly and must be printed neatly, 3/5; printed full name, 1/5; full date mm-dd-yr, 1/5;
The Daily Log is evaluated out of /5
Log must include yr/mk/mdl, 1/5 when working on any type of vehicle; must describe effort step by step, minimum 4 lines, 3/5; must specify tools/equipment, 1/5
The Daily Practical is out of /10
Rubric: (8-10) high degree of effort 55-74 min., no attitude, cleaned up work, tools, & equipment; (7) considerable effort 45-55 min., no safety glasses, 1-3 late, no log, no clean up; (6) moderate/some effort 35-45 min., 4-6 late, no clean up; (5) limited/low effort 25-35 min., 7 or more late; (4) very limited/low effort 15-25 min.; (3) very low effort 5-15 min.; (2) no effort.
