Students will have discussion items to communicate with other about and will work in teams to succeed on their tasks. 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 Method to Achieve Competency: Students will do research on different welding jobs in industry. D. Integrative and applied learning, including synthesis and advanced accomplishment across general and specialized skills. Method to Achieve Competency: Exams will be given to show the students ability to apply what they have learned.

Course Specific Competencies (Student Outcomes):

Upon completion of this course, the student can: 1. Explain welding safety. 2. Describe the selection, care, and storage of Oxy-Fuel cutting equipment. 3.

Course Structure:

Each week will consist of a series of activities and assignments. For each lesson there may be videos and power points as well as a recorded voice lecture for that lesson

for you to view and listen to. Each week will have discussion Board items. This is critical and will be part of your grade. You will need to

participate with adequate time and response in order to obtain the full 50 points for each discussion. This means you answer the questions as well as respond to and discuss what other students have

submitted.

 The midterm exam will cover lesson 1-4 and... The final exam will cover lessons 5-8. Each quiz and exam will be timed.

The welding rod test and research paper will be due upon given dates and needs to be complete, thorough, neat with good grammar, and inclusive of required material.

Technology/Media Component: Students will have access to the KCTCS website for college information and news (kctcs.edu). You may be given websites for research on products, supplies, and jobs. Through the access to computers in the labs and library you will be able to use these resources. In the class, we may use power-point, overhead projection, and videos. There are publications that will help with this course and it's components. Some of these publications are available in the campus library. You may contact the instructor via e-mail or phone (listed in this syllabus). In the event of a snow schedule or inclement weather cancellation, all work will resume as normal upon return to class and no work will be missed. Work also can be continual upon closures of the college via online learning through the Blasckboard portal for this class. You will also be able to view the course syllabus on Blackboard and possibly grades and assignments. Service-Learning: N/A Course Requirements and Evaluation: EVALUATION: A final grade for the course will be calculated and determined by the quality of the assigned task, the punctuality of the student to complete the assigned, and the conduct/attitude of the student while completing the assignment. Performance exams will be used throughout the course. Student participation and attendance will be an integral part of the final grade. The student must have a final grade of 70% or higher to finish. All grades will be rounded to the nearest whole percentage, including final grade. EXAMPLE: A 79.4 would be 79 rounded, a 79.6 would be 80 rounded. Homework and assignments must be turned in "on time". Any homework or assignment turned in late may receive a 10% deduction. Homework and assignments turned in more than two (2) weeks late may not be accepted and the student will receive an automatic "0" for that assignment.

Grading Policy: The scale below shows the relationship between your semester percent average and the letter grade you will receive. Slight deviations from this scale are possible if they seem advisable. NOTE: YOU MUST OBTAIN A GRADE OF "C" OR HIGHER IN ORDER FOR THIS COURSE TO COUNT TOWARD PROGRAM GRADUATION.

Grading Scale: 100% - 90% = A

89% - 80% = B

79% - 70% = C

69% - 60% = D

Below 60% = E

Attendance Policy:

Regular participation and login time is expected. Valuable material will be covered each week and will be difficult to make up. The goal of this technical course and the instructor is to make the student ready for the workforce

where absenteeism and non-participation is not tolerated. Lack of participation and login time will be reflected on your final grade and could possibly drop your final grade by one letter and/or cause failure of this course.

Missed Exam Policy: Class sessions will not be repeated. Make-up work is the responsibility of the student. After an absence it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements with the instructor as soon as he/she returns to class. Make-up work may not be done during regular class hours. If the student misses an exam or assignment it is his/her responsibility to meet with the instructor to determine a make-up date.

Late Assignment Policy: All missed assignments or exams may not be considered if not completed within the time allotted for the exam or assignment date

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 a 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 cost, assignments, and tasks.
