CLASS LECTURES & BLACKBOARD
Some of the information in the book will not be covered in lectures due to time constraints. However, you will still be responsible for reading and understanding it because you may see some of it on a test, quiz, or homework assignment. Also, some of the information covered in lectures may not be in your book. Therefore, you will be able to find all course lectures, power points, homework assignments, job sheets, the syllabus, etc. on blackboard for this course. The blackboard website is https://acconline.austincc.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp or you can find it at the main ACC page www.austincc.edu under e-services on the right side of the page. Course blackboard information will be updated regularly as needed. Software downloads are available at http://www.austincc.edu/helpdesk/software.html
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students. If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.”
The College System believes that regular attendance in all classes is necessary and makes no distinction between excused and unexcused absences. I will personally excuse absences within reason, with just cause, and at my discretion. This applies only to the number of absences counted towards dropping a student, not daily/shop grades. You WILL NOT pass the class if you are absent for 2 class meetings or more (this includes any accumulation of missed time up to 2 class meetings or 10.3 hours of absence). Tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade. For each hour of absence, I will deduct 3.5 points from your final grade.
If class is cancelled due to weather, pandemic, or other emergencies:
The student is responsible for communicating with the instructor during the closure. Completing assignments or other activities designated by the instructor and/or documented in the course outline are the responsibility of the student.
WITHDRAWL POLICY:
Students may be dropped from this course after accumulating 10.3 hours (10 hours & 20 minutes) of absence. Administrative withdrawals are at the discretion of the instructor. Failure to withdraw officially may result in a grade of F in the course. Do not expect the instructor to drop you!
Students may be dropped for any of the follow reasons from this course:
- excessive absences, excessive/habitual tardiness (3 or more)
- lacks course pre-requisite
- lack of progress, missed tests/assignments
- failure to comply with course/department safety policies
- negligence that results in injury to anyone or damage to a customer vehicle or ACC property
- absent the first day of class. Attendance the first day of class is mandatory.
- Sleeping in class is considered disrespectful & disruptive to the learning process and is a prohibited act. Students that are disruptive will be given a verbal warning, then a written warning and finally withdrawn from this course for a third violation.
RELIGEOUS HOLIDAYS:
If you observe a religious holiday and miss class, you must notify your instructor in writing two weeks in advance to arrange to take a test or make up an assignment. A religious holiday is a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20, Tax Code.
TARDINESS POLOICY:
Students who are not present when attendance is taken will be marked tardy. Excessive tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade, see attendance policy above. Students that are habitually or excessively tardy (3 or more) may be dropped from class.
SAFETY:
Safety is always first. Common sense and our certifying agency, ASEEF, requires that all students MUST wear safety glasses in the shop. Students without safety glasses will be prohibited from any shop activities. Students that habitually or continue to violate shop safety practices will be dropped from this course.
MAKE-UP POLICY:
I do not give make-up work.
Optional EXTRA CREDIT: I will give 10 points of extra credit for each chapter homework assignment (chapter questions), for submission of the following work: If you find ANY MindTap or textbook errors, including chapter questions, chapter answers, or errors in the chapter reading material, submit the mistake, with page number and the correct answer in an email to receive this credit.
Optional 5 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT: This extra credit may be available throughout the semester for attendance to a variety of extracurricular events, such as the Austin car show, Cars and Coffee, Buda Gearheads, ACC Automotive Open House, Meet n Greets, etc., see me for details, or make your own suggestions for upcoming automotive events.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
I do not accept late assignments. I do not accept any work after the last day of class.
INCOMPLETE
A grade of incomplete may be given for a student only under the most extreme circumstances. In order to receive an incomplete, I require documentation from a doctor, hospital, police report, lawyer, etc., that clearly documents the reason you are unable to finish this class.
Students may request an Incomplete from their faculty member if they believe circumstances warrant. The faculty member will determine whether the Incomplete is appropriate to award or not. The following processes must be followed when awarding a student an I grade.
1. Prior to the end of the semester in which the “I” is to be awarded, the student must meet with the instructor to determine the assignments and exams that must be completed prior to the deadline date. This meeting can occur virtually or in person. The instructor should complete the Report of Incomplete Grade form.
2. The faculty member will complete the Incomplete Grade Form, including all requirements to complete the course and the due date, sign (by typing in name) and then email it to the student. The student will then complete his/her section, sign (by typing in name), and return the completed form to the faculty member to complete the agreement. A copy of the fully completed form can then be emailed by the faculty member to the student and the department chair for each grade of Incomplete that the faculty member submits at the end of the semester.
3. The student must complete all remaining work by the date specified on the form above. This date is determined by the instructor in collaboration with the student, but it may not be later than the final withdrawal deadline in the subsequent long semester.
4. Students will retain access to the course Blackboard page through the subsequent semester in order to submit work and complete the course. Students will be able to log on to Blackboard and have access to the course section materials, assignments, and grades from the course and semester in which the Incomplete was awarded.
5. When the student completes the required work by the Incomplete deadline, the instructor will submit an electronic Grade Change Form to change the student’s performance grade from an “I” to the earned grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
If an Incomplete is not resolved by the deadline, the grade automatically converts to an “F.” Approval to carry an Incomplete for longer than the following semester or session deadline is not frequently granted.”
PARKING POLICY
Student vehicles will not be parked in front of the shop. You may pull up and drop off your tools, but you must then park your car in the student parking lot. You may pull up to the shop to pick up your tools, but you may not leave your vehicle there for an extended amount of time. You may not park in front of the shop, even if we are going to work on your car that day, or have finished working on your car no exceptions.
AUTOMOBILES FOR SHOP WORK:
Although vehicles are always needed for shop work, whose car and which car is worked on first is not considered to be an important part of the course. All cars to be worked on in the shop must first be approved by the instructor and the tool room. Even though emergencies occur with cars breaking down, we are not here to schedule work as a garage would. Time schedules will not be considered or given as related to repair work of any given automobile. Only work related to the course will be considered. No work will be performed on a car if the subject has not yet been covered in the classroom, unless authorized by the instructor. Vehicles more than 10 years old may be excluded from shop work. Vehicles that must be left overnight must be cleared with your instructor and the tool room and you must leave the keys.
CARE AND CLEANING OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, AND THE SHOP AREA:
All students will be expected to participate in shop and classroom cleanup at the end of each class period. Sufficient time will be allotted by the instructor for this purpose. All tools and work areas will be cleaned and tools put in the proper place before class will be dismissed. Failure to cleanup at the end of each class will lower your final grade 5 points per occurrence.
ASEEF:
Automotive Service Excellence Education Foundation is the responsible accrediting agency for the ACC Automobile Technician Training Certification Program. The certification program is under the direct supervision of the board of trustees of The Automotive Service Excellence Education Foundation. The purpose of the Automobile Technician Training Certification Program is to improve the quality of training offered at the secondary and post-secondary level. ACC is master certified in automotive.

RELIGEOUS HOLIDAYS:
If you observe a religious holiday and miss class, you must notify your instructor in writing two weeks in advance to arrange to take a test or make up an assignment. A religious holiday is a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20, Tax Code.
TARDINESS POLOICY:
Students who are not present when attendance is taken will be marked tardy. Excessive tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade, see attendance policy above. Students that are habitually or excessively tardy (3 or more) may be dropped from class.
SAFETY:
Safety is always first. Common sense and our certifying agency, ASEEF, requires that all students MUST wear safety glasses in the shop. Students without safety glasses will be prohibited from any shop activities. Students that habitually or continue to violate shop safety practices will be dropped from this course.
MAKE-UP POLICY:
I do not give make-up work.
Optional EXTRA CREDIT: I will give 10 points of extra credit for each chapter homework assignment (chapter questions), for submission of the following work: If you find ANY MindTap or textbook errors, including chapter questions, chapter answers, or errors in the chapter reading material, submit the mistake, with page number and the correct answer in an email to receive this credit.
Optional 5 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT: This extra credit may be available throughout the semester for attendance to a variety of extracurricular events, such as the Austin car show, Cars and Coffee, Buda Gearheads, ACC Automotive Open House, Meet n Greets, etc., see me for details, or make your own suggestions for upcoming automotive events.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
I do not accept late assignments. I do not accept any work after the last day of class.
INCOMPLETE
A grade of incomplete may be given for a student only under the most extreme circumstances. In order to receive an incomplete, I require documentation from a doctor, hospital, police report, lawyer, etc., that clearly documents the reason you are unable to finish this class.
Students may request an Incomplete from their faculty member if they believe circumstances warrant. The faculty member will determine whether the Incomplete is appropriate to award or not. The following processes must be followed when awarding a student an I grade.
1. Prior to the end of the semester in which the “I” is to be awarded, the student must meet with the instructor to determine the assignments and exams that must be completed prior to the deadline date. This meeting can occur virtually or in person. The instructor should complete the Report of Incomplete Grade form.
2. The faculty member will complete the Incomplete Grade Form, including all requirements to complete the course and the due date, sign (by typing in name) and then email it to the student. The student will then complete his/her section, sign (by typing in name), and return the completed form to the faculty member to complete the agreement. A copy of the fully completed form can then be emailed by the faculty member to the student and the department chair for each grade of Incomplete that the faculty member submits at the end of the semester.
3. The student must complete all remaining work by the date specified on the form above. This date is determined by the instructor in collaboration with the student, but it may not be later than the final withdrawal deadline in the subsequent long semester.
4. Students will retain access to the course Blackboard page through the subsequent semester in order to submit work and complete the course. Students will be able to log on to Blackboard and have access to the course section materials, assignments, and grades from the course and semester in which the Incomplete was awarded.
5. When the student completes the required work by the Incomplete deadline, the instructor will submit an electronic Grade Change Form to change the student’s performance grade from an “I” to the earned grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
If an Incomplete is not resolved by the deadline, the grade automatically converts to an “F.” Approval to carry an Incomplete for longer than the following semester or session deadline is not frequently granted.”
PARKING POLICY
Student vehicles will not be parked in front of the shop. You may pull up and drop off your tools, but you must then park your car in the student parking lot. You may pull up to the shop to pick up your tools, but you may not leave your vehicle there for an extended amount of time. You may not park in front of the shop, even if we are going to work on your car that day, or have finished working on your car no exceptions.
AUTOMOBILES FOR SHOP WORK:
Although vehicles are always needed for shop work, whose car and which car is worked on first is not considered to be an important part of the course. All cars to be worked on in the shop must first be approved by the instructor and the tool room. Even though emergencies occur with cars breaking down, we are not here to schedule work as a garage would. Time schedules will not be considered or given as related to repair work of any given automobile. Only work related to the course will be considered. No work will be performed on a car if the subject has not yet been covered in the classroom, unless authorized by the instructor. Vehicles more than 10 years old may be excluded from shop work. Vehicles that must be left overnight must be cleared with your instructor and the tool room and you must leave the keys.
CARE AND CLEANING OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, AND THE SHOP AREA:
All students will be expected to participate in shop and classroom cleanup at the end of each class period. Sufficient time will be allotted by the instructor for this purpose. All tools and work areas will be cleaned and tools put in the proper place before class will be dismissed. Failure to cleanup at the end of each class will lower your final grade 5 points per occurrence.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students. If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.”
The College System believes that regular attendance in all classes is necessary and makes no distinction between excused and unexcused absences. I will personally excuse absences within reason, with just cause, and at my discretion. This applies only to the number of absences counted towards dropping a student, not daily/shop grades. You WILL NOT pass the class if you are absent for 2 class meetings or more (this includes any accumulation of missed time up to 2 class meetings or 10.3 hours of absence). Tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade. For each hour of absence, I will deduct 3.5 points from your final grade.
If class is cancelled due to weather, pandemic, or other emergencies:
The student is responsible for communicating with the instructor during the closure. Completing assignments or other activities designated by the instructor and/or documented in the course outline are the responsibility of the student.
WITHDRAWL POLICY:
Students may be dropped from this course after accumulating 10.3 hours (10 hours & 20 minutes) of absence. Administrative withdrawals are at the discretion of the instructor. Failure to withdraw officially may result in a grade of F in the course. Do not expect the instructor to drop you!
Students may be dropped for any of the follow reasons from this course:
- excessive absences, excessive/habitual tardiness (3 or more)
- lacks course pre-requisite
- lack of progress, missed tests/assignments
- failure to comply with course/department safety policies
- negligence that results in injury to anyone or damage to a customer vehicle or ACC property
- absent the first day of class. Attendance the first day of class is mandatory.
- Sleeping in class is considered disrespectful & disruptive to the learning process and is a prohibited act. Students that are disruptive will be given a verbal warning, then a written warning and finally withdrawn from this course for a third violation.
RELIGEOUS HOLIDAYS:
If you observe a religious holiday and miss class, you must notify your instructor in writing two weeks in advance to arrange to take a test or make up an assignment. A religious holiday is a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20, Tax Code.
TARDINESS POLOICY:
Students who are not present when attendance is taken will be marked tardy. Excessive tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade, see attendance policy above.

CLASS LECTURES & BLACKBOARD
Some of the information in the book will not be covered in lectures due to time constraints. However, you will still be responsible for reading and understanding it because you may see some of it on a test, quiz, or homework assignment. Also, some of the information covered in lectures may not be in your book. Therefore, you will be able to find all course lectures, power points, homework assignments, job sheets, the syllabus, etc. on blackboard for this course. The blackboard website is https://acconline.austincc.edu/webapps/portal/frameset.jsp or you can find it at the main ACC page www.austincc.edu under e-services on the right side of the page. Course blackboard information will be updated regularly as needed. Software downloads are available at http://www.austincc.edu/helpdesk/software.html
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Regular and punctual class and laboratory attendance is expected of all students. If attendance or compliance with other course policies is unsatisfactory, the instructor may withdraw students from the class.”
The College System believes that regular attendance in all classes is necessary and makes no distinction between excused and unexcused absences. I will personally excuse absences within reason, with just cause, and at my discretion. This applies only to the number of absences counted towards dropping a student, not daily/shop grades. You WILL NOT pass the class if you are absent for 2 class meetings or more (this includes any accumulation of missed time up to 2 class meetings or 10.3 hours of absence). Tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade. For each hour of absence, I will deduct 3.5 points from your final grade.
If class is cancelled due to weather, pandemic, or other emergencies:
The student is responsible for communicating with the instructor during the closure. Completing assignments or other activities designated by the instructor and/or documented in the course outline are the responsibility of the student.
WITHDRAWL POLICY:
Students may be dropped from this course after accumulating 10.3 hours (10 hours & 20 minutes) of absence. Administrative withdrawals are at the discretion of the instructor. Failure to withdraw officially may result in a grade of F in the course. Do not expect the instructor to drop you!
Students may be dropped for any of the follow reasons from this course:
- excessive absences, excessive/habitual tardiness (3 or more)
- lacks course pre-requisite
- lack of progress, missed tests/assignments
- failure to comply with course/department safety policies
- negligence that results in injury to anyone or damage to a customer vehicle or ACC property
- absent the first day of class. Attendance the first day of class is mandatory.
- Sleeping in class is considered disrespectful & disruptive to the learning process and is a prohibited act. Students that are disruptive will be given a verbal warning, then a written warning and finally withdrawn from this course for a third violation.
RELIGEOUS HOLIDAYS:
If you observe a religious holiday and miss class, you must notify your instructor in writing two weeks in advance to arrange to take a test or make up an assignment. A religious holiday is a holy day observed by a religion whose place of worship is exempt from property taxation under Section 11.20, Tax Code.
TARDINESS POLOICY:
Students who are not present when attendance is taken will be marked tardy. Excessive tardiness, leaving early, or disappearing for any length of time, is considered time absent from class and will affect your grade, see attendance policy above. Students that are habitually or excessively tardy (3 or more) may be dropped from class.
SAFETY:
Safety is always first. Common sense and our certifying agency, ASEEF, requires that all students MUST wear safety glasses in the shop. Students without safety glasses will be prohibited from any shop activities. Students that habitually or continue to violate shop safety practices will be dropped from this course.
MAKE-UP POLICY:
I do not give make-up work.
Optional EXTRA CREDIT: I will give 10 points of extra credit for each chapter homework assignment (chapter questions), for submission of the following work: If you find ANY MindTap or textbook errors, including chapter questions, chapter answers, or errors in the chapter reading material, submit the mistake, with page number and the correct answer in an email to receive this credit.
Optional 5 POINTS EXTRA CREDIT: This extra credit may be available throughout the semester for attendance to a variety of extracurricular events, such as the Austin car show, Cars and Coffee, Buda Gearheads, ACC Automotive Open House, Meet n Greets, etc., see me for details, or make your own suggestions for upcoming automotive events.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:
I do not accept late assignments. I do not accept any work after the last day of class.
INCOMPLETE
A grade of incomplete may be given for a student only under the most extreme circumstances. In order to receive an incomplete, I require documentation from a doctor, hospital, police report, lawyer, etc., that clearly documents the reason you are unable to finish this class.
Students may request an Incomplete from their faculty member if they believe circumstances warrant. The faculty member will determine whether the Incomplete is appropriate to award or not. The following processes must be followed when awarding a student an I grade.
1. Prior to the end of the semester in which the “I” is to be awarded, the student must meet with the instructor to determine the assignments and exams that must be completed prior to the deadline date. This meeting can occur virtually or in person. The instructor should complete the Report of Incomplete Grade form.
2. The faculty member will complete the Incomplete Grade Form, including all requirements to complete the course and the due date, sign (by typing in name) and then email it to the student. The student will then complete his/her section, sign (by typing in name), and return the completed form to the faculty member to complete the agreement. A copy of the fully completed form can then be emailed by the faculty member to the student and the department chair for each grade of Incomplete that the faculty member submits at the end of the semester.
3. The student must complete all remaining work by the date specified on the form above. This date is determined by the instructor in collaboration with the student, but it may not be later than the final withdrawal deadline in the subsequent long semester.
4. Students will retain access to the course Blackboard page through the subsequent semester in order to submit work and complete the course. Students will be able to log on to Blackboard and have access to the course section materials, assignments, and grades from the course and semester in which the Incomplete was awarded.
5. When the student completes the required work by the Incomplete deadline, the instructor will submit an electronic Grade Change Form to change the student’s performance grade from an “I” to the earned grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
If an Incomplete is not resolved by the deadline, the grade automatically converts to an “F.” Approval to carry an Incomplete for longer than the following semester or session deadline is not frequently granted.”
PARKING POLICY
Student vehicles will not be parked in front of the shop. You may pull up and drop off your tools, but you must then park your car in the student parking lot. You may pull up to the shop to pick up your tools, but you may not leave your vehicle there for an extended amount of time. You may not park in front of the shop, even if we are going to work on your car that day, or have finished working on your car no exceptions.
AUTOMOBILES FOR SHOP WORK:
Although vehicles are always needed for shop work, whose car and which car is worked on first is not considered to be an important part of the course. All cars to be worked on in the shop must first be approved by the instructor and the tool room. Even though emergencies occur with cars breaking down, we are not here to schedule work as a garage would. Time schedules will not be considered or given as related to repair work of any given automobile. Only work related to the course will be considered. No work will be performed on a car if the subject has not yet been covered in the classroom, unless authorized by the instructor. Vehicles more than 10 years old may be excluded from shop work. Vehicles that must be left overnight must be cleared with your instructor and the tool room and you must leave the keys.
CARE AND CLEANING OF TOOLS, EQUIPMENT, AND THE SHOP AREA:
All students will be expected to participate in shop and classroom cleanup at the end of each class period. Sufficient time will be allotted by the instructor for this purpose. All tools and work areas will be cleaned and tools put in the proper place before class will be dismissed. Failure to cleanup at the end of each class will lower your final grade 5 points per occurrence.
ASEEF:
Automotive Service Excellence Education Foundation is the responsible accrediting agency for the ACC Automobile Technician Training Certification Program. The certification program is under the direct supervision of the board of trustees of The Automotive Service Excellence Education Foundation. The purpose of the Automobile Technician Training Certification Program is to improve the quality of training offered at the secondary and post-secondary level. ACC is master certified in automotive.
