Instructor: Sherman D. Leeth Office # ext Sherman.Leeth@dcs.edu Course Description: Automotive Technology Engine Repair is a one-semester course with a specific curriculum taught. The curriculum consists of one semester of instruction in the repair of two-stroke and four-stroke gasoline engines with some diesel engine content discussed. Course Content: This course provides classroom and shop activities as assignments for providing training experiences in diagnostic and testing fields as they relate to automobiles. Students read technical manuals, and use a variety of automotive hand and power tools. Instruction and practice are given in the diagnosis of malfunctioning engines, disassembly of units, parts inspection and repair; engine overhaul and/or repair, ignition systems, fuel injection systems, and a variety of accessories. Course Objectives: The overall course objective for this course of study will be completed and evaluated under the following categories: 5 Mastered competency. Able to perform all elements of task successfully and independently without supervision. 4 Satisfactory performance of task. Acceptable performance of all elements of task with mastery of some elements. 3 Capable of performing task adequately, but some elements need improvement. 2 Satisfactory performance of some elements of task and unsatisfactory performance of some elements of task. 1 Unsatisfactory performance of task. Course Requirements: Students are required to attend class according to Decatur City Schools Board policies. Make-up course work and shop experiences must be completed as requested by the instructor. Tests should be completed within five days after returning to class and shop tasks must be completed upon request of the instructor's assignment. Excessive absences will result in the student being unable to complete the necessary tasks for this course and will create the possibility for an unsatisfactory grade. Students will be expected to complete the task list and participate in the daily assigned task. The instructor will perform a daily evaluation of the student's work. Students are expected to observe and maintain safety precautions as are stated in the Automotive Service Technology Safety Compliance Agreement, the Alabama State Course of Study, the Decatur City Schools Policy and Procedure Manual, and the OSHA Regulations Handbook.

2 2 Course Evaluation: Written, and/or oral tests, following ALL SAFETY procedures, DAILY PARTICIPATION, and completion of the automotive tasks for engine repair will constitute the student's grade for this course. The grading rubric is as follows: 25% Daily Participation 25% Following All Safety Procedures 25% Written Tests 25% Lab Work Engine Task List Miscellaneous Concerns: Students will arrange all make-up work with the instructor upon request by the student. Any student and/or parent is encouraged to discuss low grades and any other concerns with the instructor. Office # ext ShermanLeeth@dcs.edu The Penalty for academic misconduct (Class 2.1 Honor Code Violation) will include assignment to In-School Suspension, a zero for the exercise or activity, and the student will become ineligible for semester-exam exemptions for the entire current school year. Summer sessions may be offered for specific courses. There are no guarantees that any specific courses will be offered. Each student must have the approval of a guidance counselor and principal to attend summer school. Dismissal from summer school will result in the loss of tuition. This class is not offered in summer school We welcome all requests for special accommodations. The student CONDUCT and DRESS CODE will be followed in this class especially in the classroom setting. THE INSTRUCTOR COPY (page #3) of this syllabus must be signed by the student and a parent or guardian and returned to the Austin High Automotive Service Department by: ***************** MY PURPOSE IS TO HELP YOU SUCCEED*************** Please help me help you!!! As an IB Middle Years Programme World School, all students will complete a personal project in 10 th grade. The personal project is an important part of the MYP programme, providing you an opportunity to learn about a topic of your own interest and choosing. It will allow you to demonstrate the skills learned during the MYP years, and is intended to be the culmination of your involvement with the five Areas of Inter The five Areas of Interaction are addressed through the subject groups every year of the program, and bind the various disciplines together. Each core subject will give a grade for the completion of the one of the phases of the personal project process journal. In the six week, 10 % of your grade will come from the MYP Personal Project Process Journal. Time period to be assigned by MYP teacher of record. 1 st English Completion of Phase One of Process Journal 2 nd History - Completion of Phase Two of Process Journal 3 rd - Math - Completion of Phase Three of Process Journal 4 th Science - Completion of Phase Four of Process Journal
