KCTCS General Education Competencies Students should prepare for twenty-first century challenges by gaining: A. Knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural worlds through study in the sciences and mathematics, social sciences, humanities, histories, languages, and the arts. Mathematics is a crucial tool used within the automotive trades. We will use math to calculate frame specifications and front end alignments. Also, the science of chemistry will determine paint type and color. B. Intellectual and practical skills, including inquiry and analysis critical and creative thinking written and oral communication quantitative literacy information literacy teamwork and problem solving Each lab exercise will require a student to analyze the damage each vehicle has sustained while in an accident. From there, the student will have to develop a plan for repairs C. Personal and social responsibility, including civic knowledge and engagement (local and global) intercultural knowledge and competence ethical reasoning and action foundations and skills for lifelong learning This class will help you develop troubleshooting skills that you will use throughout your entire career as a collision repair technician D. Integrative and applied learning, including synthesis and advanced accomplishment across general and specialized skills. The skills you obtain in this class are very specialized it is crucial that you attend class and make it a point to set time aside for studying and preparing for every meeting. Course Specific Competencies (Student Outcomes): Upon completion of this course, the student can: 1. Replace and align bolts on parts such as doors, hoods, and fenders.

Students will also be required to develop and maintain a notebook of course content. Outside assignments are an integral component of this course. The instruc tor reserves the right to change, shorten or lengthen, delete or insert to any task found necessary for the benefit of each student. This syllabus is a guideline and the instructor reserves the right to make any needed and necessary changes Technology/Media Component: Calculators (not supplied by the program) may be used to work mathematical problems encountered during the course. A combination of lecture, audio-visual materials, and class assignments will be utilized Service-Learning: Service-Learning is a teaching methodology that connects learning to service. Both the learning and the service are strengthened by the connection. Students are taught course specific skills (PREPARATION), solve real community issues using classroom learning(action/service), return to the classroom setting and REFLECT upon the application of course skills and are given the opportunity to CELEBRATE their victories. This is known as the PARC Model Course Requirements and Evaluation:

6 EVALUATION /GRADING POLICY: The Final grade for the course will be determined by averaging the scores you have earned from class assignments, written exams, performance exams, and other miscellaneous assignments. Note: Some class assignments may not be included in the grade calculations. The Grading Scale will be as follows:100%-90%=a; 89%-80%=B; 79%-70%=C; 69%- 60%=D; 59%and below=e Grades will be calculated as follows: Unit exams and Quizzes: 10%Participationand Quality of Work:90% Grading Policy: The Final grade for the course will be determined by averaging the scores you have earned from class assignments, written exams, performance exams, participation, and other miscellaneous assignments. Note: Some class assignments may not be included in the grade calculations. The Grading Scale will be as follows: 100%-90%=A;89%-80%=B;79%-70%=C; 69%-60%=D;59%andbelow=E All work is graded and calculated according to percentages shown above Pop Quizzes will usually be given at the beginning of class and there will be 10 minutes allowed for each one. These will be unannounced and cannot be made up for a grade. You must earn at least a 70% in this class for it to count toward a certificate or diploma Attendance Policy: Regular attendance and punctuality are expected of all students. Work missed because of absence(s) for any reason shall be made up satisfactorily to the instructor. Makeup work not turned in by the time designated by the instructor shall receive a grade of 0. It is the student s responsibility to contact the instructor to arrange for makeup work. Any assignment that is turned in late will receive an automatic 15% deduction. If you are tardy for a class, please come in quietly as to not disturb the rest of the class. Quizzes relating to both the lab and safety cannot be made up. Missed Exam Policy: Make-up work is the responsibility of the student. If the student misses an exam or assignment, it is his/her responsibility to meet with the instructor to determine a make-up date. Quizzes cannot be made up, all missed assignments or exams may not be considered if not completed within seven days of the exam or assignment date. A 15% deduction will applied to all late work Late Assignment Policy: All missed assignments or exams may not be considered if not completed within seven days of the exam or assignment date. A 15% deduction will apply to all late work. Online quizzes may not be made up. Withdrawal Policy: Students may withdraw from this course at any time during the semester/term, up until the last day to withdraw from class (decided by systems office). Students who choose to withdraw should request drop form signed by the instructor and advisor and processed through the business office. If this is not done, the student will remain enrolled in this class and will be responsible for all assignments and tasks. Additional information can be found at the following site:
