Mechanics 10 Course Outline


 Mechanics 10 is a Competency Based course.  This means that each  task or
unit must be completed to an acceptable level of competency or  completion
before credit will be given for it.  In each unit there may be  several tasks -
some theory and some hands on - that can be completed in any  order.  

Stratton engine.  This section is worth  40% of the mechanics portion of the
course.  All tasks in the first  section are given a certain amount of time to
be completed, which relate  directly to percent marks.  If a task is worth 1.0
hour, then 1.0 percent  is added to your final grade mark when you complete
it.

 The second section of the course deals with the repair and maintenance  of an
automobile.  This section is also worth 40% of the course.   Shop work relates
directly to percent marks as well, so you get 1.0 percent for  every shop hour
that you work.  You must record your shop work on a  time sheet for
every hour that you work, and have it checked by your teacher.
