Instructional Methodology

You will receive four hours of college credit when you successfully complete this course. Dur-
ing the fall and spring semesters, the course will meet for sixteen weeks scheduled in one of the

following formats: (1) twice weekly for 2:35 hours per class, or (2) once weekly for 5:20 hours
per class. During the summer, the course will meet 16 times: (1) twice weekly for 5:10 hours per
class. Regardless of format, the total class time for this course is eighty clock hours.
Tuition is charged at the rate posted in the current Course Schedule, depending upon whether
you live in-district, out-of-district, or out-of-state. In addition, there is a $50.00 course fee to
cover welding electrodes, gases, practice metal and incidental consumables, plus a $1.00 per
course fee which provides you with an accident insurance policy ($25.00 deductible).
Grading Policy
You will be graded on your progress in both applied skills and in theory, as it applies to art
metalwork. Your final grade will be based on the following balance between skill and theory:
1. Finished work...............................................90% - 100% -----A
2. All Components made, some assembly ................. 80% -89%-------- B
3. Some elements missing, unassembled.....................70% -79% -------C
The following numerical criteria apply when calculating the above percentages:
A—Excellent..................90% - 100%............... Grade Points 4
B—Good ..........................80% - 89%.....................................3
C—Satisfactory ................70% - 79%.....................................2
D—Minimum Pass...........60% - 69%.....................................1
F—Fail .............................59% - 00%.....................................0
NOTE: A grade of D or below may not be applied toward any Welding Technology award.
