Teacher: Mr. G. Peters
Semester Dates: 2011-2012
TTJ4C
Course Description
This course enables students to further develop technical knowledge and skills as they study, test, service, and repair engine management systems; power-trains; steering/control, suspension, brake, and body systems on vehicles, aircraft, and/or watercraft; and/or small-engine products. Students will refine communication and teamwork skills through practical tasks, using a variety of tools and equipment. Students will expand their awareness of environmental and societal issues related to transportation and their knowledge of apprenticeship and college programs leading to careers in the transportation industry.
Term/Semester Evaluation (70% of final mark)
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters/terms.
· All students will be expected to print the Daily Note (first/last name, full date, neatness, spelling, complete; mark /5)
· All students are required to listen/participate in the verbal lesson pertaining to the Daily Note.
· All D. N. & L. must be kept in order of date and submitted for evaluation every Friday.
· The Daily Notes & Logs are evaluated for Knowledge/Understanding and Communication (use of proper terminology, identify tools/equipment, problem solving).
· The Practical are evaluated for Thinking and Application.
· All evaluated marks are recorded on the Daily Notes & Logs sheet.
· Thus, if the student does not submit a D. N. & L. sheet for every day, those marks are missed, including the practical evaluation.
· All students will participate in the shop/practical (mark /10), (independent or group). D.S.S. cannot supply separate vehicle projects for every individual student due to limitations of garage space and cost. All students need to approach the practical with a mature attitude and demonstrate self motivation to gain experience with all the various opportunities available. It is my experience that when a student is forced to work on a project when the student does not wish to, he/she is likely to do a poor job, damage the vehicle/project/tools/equipment, and/or injure themselves or a fellow student. Thus I will not force any student to participate.
· All students are required to clean up there work area by the end of every class; including cleaning/organizing tools/equipment, put sawdust on spills, sweep up, wrap air lines/hoses, water hoses, electrical extension cords.
· All students will comply with shop safety (wear approved safety glasses, appropriate clothing (not overly loose/baggy) and shoes (no open toe, high heels, sandals/flip-flops); tie back long hair; no dangly jewelry, rings, bracelets.
· All students will print their Daily Log (mark /5); 5 lines of specific details, step by step, year/make/model, proper terminology, all tools and equipment.
· All students are expected to demonstrate good time management with the above.
Final Evaluation (30% of final mark)
4th quarter/term
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. This also applies to terms 1, 2, & 3. The Daily Log is also part of the practical evaluation.

Simply, the above four units will be blended throughout the entire semester due to the nature of our facilities. One example is some students are working on steering while others may be working on an engine, etc. It is not possible for all students to be working on the same project at the same time. Likewise safety, environment, society, careers, etc., will be covered throughout the semester and related to current projects or news.
