Course: Canvas Practice Course > Section: MTT 101 - GETTING STARTED

MTT 101 Introduction to Machine Shop is not an online course; it is an independent study course. While the two may sound a lot like each other, there are some subtle but important differences. Like an online course, all quiz assignments can, and should be completed and submitted online. With an online course this is as it needs to be, after all it’s an online course. MTT 101 quiz assignments are online not because they need to be, but as a convenience to students. This allows you, the student, to take them when and where you’re ready for them, rather than having to schedule time to take them in person. For those who either don’t have internet access at home or wish not to use their home access for this purpose TMCC computers are available for your use.  You should check with these locations for their hours of operation if you’d like to utilize them.

As you read thru the assigned sections and units it is likely that you will develop questions on the content. Some content is difficult to fully understand or appreciate just by reading about it. When this occurs it is important to bring in these questions for clarification and help. Instruction occurs in person, one on one, on just those areas you need, when you need it. We have the majority of equipment covered in the text and sometimes it helps just to come in and see or touch.

Due dates for individual assignments are provided to help you maintain a pace conducive to successful completion and should not be taken lightly.

Required labs should be completed after reading the appropriate sections and units. It is not required that they be completed prior to their respective section and unit quiz, though it is often helpful.
