of the textbook. Registering for the course confirms that you agree to the
following terms of the class;

agency/student to provide a Type 1, 2 or 3 apparatus on June 27th
and 28th with a qualified apparatus operator/engineer to
supervise/coach. It is strongly recommended that to keep the class moving and
accomplishing all skills that day that there be no more than 5 students per
apparatus.
All QUIZZES
will be completed. There is 1 attempt at each quiz. You will have 2 minutes per
question on each quiz accumulated based on the total number of quiz questions.
Quizzes are open book. Scoring 90% or better on a quiz gives you a free pass on
NOT having to take the TEST for THAT SAME CHAPTER # ONLY. This is an incentive
to read the book and do less work. All assignments will still be completed for
each chapter.
If you score
less than 90.0% on a chapter QUIZ, you must take the chapter TEST for that same
chapter. You must retake the test again if you score less than 80%. You are
allowed 1 TEST retake for a total of 2 attempts. Your final attempt is your
permanent score even if it’s lower than your first attempt. Again, reading the
text is important.
You must
complete the online portion with an accumulative score of 75% or better of all ASSIGNMENTS, QUIZZES and TESTS taken.
