Metalwork Level 3

This course is my highest level of Metal-based Technology. This course involves very advanced projects requiring a high level of critical-thinking and problem-solving skills. Students taking this course must be confident in their ability with tools, so that I can spend time teaching how to design, engineer, prototype and fabricate complex and challenging projects using the lightest, strongest, fastest way possible. The development of employable attitudes and skills is a major theme of every component of this course.

Evaluation

  • Practical Shop Work – 80%
  • Theory Assignments and Quizzes – 20%

The Practical Shop Work Mark is based on productivity, work habits, safety and cleanup while working on assigned projects, or assigned labs. The student will fill out a Technical Activity Report of work completed at the end of each period which will be assessed a mark out of 5, per day. A variety of labs will be assigned.

All students are expected to treat others with respect.

Absences do not excuse assignments.

This is an Educational Facility not a Repair Facility, and as such, no “outside work” or “for money” work is to be done. Mr. Wellwood will not “do the work” for you, be it using the tools, using the service manuals, or troubleshooting. YOU are the motivational force behind your success in this course. You give me your commitment, I will give you my help.
