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.
