GRADING SYSTEM FOR COURSE: Half of your final grade will be the average of the Questions taken from the Units listed above and your score on the HVAC Excellence exam. You have one chance to take each Quiz in Canvas. Therefore, I suggest you do the questions in the back of each chapter before taking the Quiz online.

The 2^nd half of your grade will be based on the completion of all Lab Projects.  Lab Projects will consist of wiring components correctly, safely and neatly.  You must also turn in a completed electrical schematic of your Final Lab Project.

Your attendance and participation in Labs and Workshops also plays a part in your grade.
