If you decide to drop the course you must fill out and submit a drop form in admissions. If you attend just one session of the course, you are responsible for dropping the course even if you never come to class again.

 

Homework:    Reading and workbook assignments will be given weekly. Written homework assignments are collected at the beginning each class meeting. Rather than copying straight from the text, re-state homework answers in your own words.  Late work will not be accepted.

It is your responsibility to identify schedule conflicts and make arrangements BEFORE the exam.

 

Grading:                     Your course grade will be broken down, approximately, as follows:

Class Participation 20%

Homework 30%

Exams and Quizzes 50%

Grades are updated every few weeks at http://virtual.mjc.edu/kroppj (mouse click on the flag)

 

Etiquette:  After class please leave your workstation in proper order, i.e. computer properly shut down.

 

Unprofessional Conduct:

Giving or receiving assistance during an exam, quiz, or activity will result in a grade of zero for that exam, quiz, or activity. Repeated offences will result in a “Fail” grade for the course.

Study Hints:

               Prepare yourself before attending class by reading the assigned material. You will probably need to plan on several hours of reading per week. Read BEFORE class. If you don’t understand something from your reading then make a note of it and ask questions in class. Always bring your textbook to lectures.

 

Student Learning Outcomes:

1.      The student will be able to identify maintenance requirements for hydraulic, electrical and pneumatic equipment.

2.      The student will be able to categorize different types of lubricants and describe their appropriate applications.
