WCS Automotive Mechanics
Mechanics 20A Course
  Outline
  


Mechanics 20 is partly competency-based theory, and mostly hands on shop work.  The theory assignments can be completed in any order at any time throughout the course.  Theory tasks 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.  
For the hands on part of the course you are expected to work in the shop diagnosing and repairing automotive service problems.  Shop hours relate 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.
