Grading Scale

Grades for the course will be based on the following levels of performance:

Grade
A	90-100

Performance Standard
Independent Learner- Student is able to successfully construct a project or demonstrate a skill with no assistance from the instructor. Student is also willing to help others when needed.

B	80-89	Semi-Independent Learner-Student is able to successfully construct a project or demonstrate a skill with little assistance from the Instructor.

F	59 and below	Unsuccessful- Student is unable to complete projects or demonstrate skills even with consistent coaching and assistance of the Instructor.

Grading Policies

You must maintain a passing grade in Lab & Related in order to pass nine week grading periods. A “F” in either Lab or Related for a nine week grading period will result in a failing grade for the grade period.

Industry standards require an employee to be punctual and dress in proper attire and ready to work at the prescribed starting time and to perform his or her job to industry standards. In most industries, you are required to have a license or some other certification in order to maintain your job position. Therefore, you will need to participate in continuing education to learn new skills in keeping up with technology. This rationale must be adhered to in order to improve teaching in the classroom or the effects on student learning will be minimal.

Employability Skills
Welding students have the opportunity to earn points in class each day. The points include points for employability skills. It is up to the student to earn the grade. Not earning points can be based on inappropriate behavior and teacher observations of behavior and attitude. Behavior and preparedness are an essential part of a student’s tenure at Auburn.

7

To earn employability points in class, students are to:

✓ Speak/Think Positively – Utilize outstanding communication skills ✓ Keeping excellent attendance – Be dressed and ready for class
✓ Follow Directions – Use computers, calculators or mobile devices in an appropriate manner ✓ Be a Team Player - Have tolerance, respect, and concern for others
✓ Demonstrate Excellent Work Ethic – Be in class, on time, ready to begin, focused on task at hand ✓ Uphold a Safe Environment - Operate and maintain equipment properly

Continual violation of the Employability Skills will result in a reduced course grade. Continuous violation of the Employability Skills will result in additional disciplinary action determined on a case-by-case basis.

Course Assignments, Labs and Projects Each student will be required to:
1. Take exams at the end of each chapter.
2. Take daily/weekly quizzes, oral or written. 3. Complete daily assignments.
4. Complete hands-on test assigned each week.

Course Policies
●This course covers a large amount of material; therefore, late assignments will not be accepted. The only exception to this is if the student provides an excused absence that is verified by the High School Office. Refer to the Student/Parent Code of Conduct for more information.

●This program is a program that builds upon skills. Missing class time will jeopardize a student’s ability to complete the various assignments and projects accurately and on time.

●Class participation and employability skills are an extremely important part of this program. Grades are based in part on the criteria outlined in the Employability Skills Criteria.

Attendance

Attendance is taken at the start of class. All students should be in their assigned seat before the bell. Students not in their seats will be counted tardy or absent if not present. If you are tardy you must report to the Main Office and obtain an admit slip. Excessive unexcused absences may result in disciplinary action. Refer to the Student/Parent Handbook for more information.

Safety

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

1.	Safety glasses must be worn at all times in the lab.
2.	No horse play of any kind will be tolerated and will result in an immediate removal from the lab.

3.	Do not leave lab or class room area without permission. 4.        Do not throw anything.
5.	Do not operate or touch any equipment until approved to by Mr. Rogge.
6.	Do not use that piece of equipment for anything other than what you are approved for. 7.	No boisterous conduct.
8.	 Safety toed boots must be worn in the lab area. Ear plugs or muffs must be worn in the lab.
9.	All PPE must be worn in lab area.
10.	No projects or other welding operations are permitted without Mr. Rogge’s approval.
11.	Any student observing anything that looks unsafe or is a safety violation must report it to Mr. Rogge immediately.
12.	No student is to be anywhere in the lab or classroom that they were not instructed to be.

Emergency Response

If there is an emergency in the lab or class room, inform the instructor. If the emergency involves the instructor, contact the main office by using the telephone in the Instructors office.

Pick up the phone and dial “0” for the Main Office.

Remain calm, explain the situation.

If there is no immediate answer send someone to the nearest classroom or office and notify an adult of the incident and request additional help by calling 911.

If the victim is conscious, it is best to have them lie still until qualified emergency response personnel arrive on the scene. Do not move a victim unless there is risk of additional immediate danger to them and you. You can cause additional severe injury by unnecessarily moving a victim.

There is the possibility of the victim going into a state of physiological shock -- a condition of insufficient blood circulation different from electrical shock -- and so they should be kept as warm and as comfortable as possible.

Program Apparel
Students will be required to wear program specific apparel. •	Welding jackets
•	Steel-toe work shoes •	Full length pants
•     Program shirt •     Safety glasses
