Summary of course requirements (Gradable events)
Graded coursework will consist of 32 short but comprehensive quizzes and possible in class assignments and exams. One each at the conclusion of each assigned unit. Quizzes are available online via Canvas for your convenience. Quizzes can be taken at home or on computers available in room 162 if scheduled iw the instructor. There are five graded labs required throughout the course. A graded micrometer Measurement Lab; Two Lay-Out and Benchwork Labs; and Two machine component identification labs, one on the lathe and one on the vertical milling machine. Labs must be completed in person at TMCC during open lab hours. Labs must be completed two weeks prior to the end of the summer session.

National Institute for Metalworking Skill (NIMS) Credentialing:
Students enrolled in MTT 101 Introduction to Machining are eligible to test for two NIMS credentials. The Machining Level I Measurement, Materials, and Safety Credential and the Machining Level I Job Planning, Benchwork, and Lay-Out Credential. These credentials are national in scope, portable, and valued by employers throughout the industry. NIMS credentials represent an important addition to the resume’ of job seekers throughout the meatalworking industry.

All students are eligible for the Machining Level I Measurement, Materials, and Safety Credential. Only Students who have taken and passed the Benchwork and Lay-Out Labs are eligible for the Machining Level I Job Planning, Benchwork, and Lay-Out Credential.

Grading Policy: Average of All 39 Assignment Scores

A = 90-100%
B = 80-89%
C = 70-79%
D = 60-69%
F = 0-59%

Attendance Policy:
Attendance is vital to your success in this course. Each week, new concepts will be introduced and those concepts will in turn form foundations and building blocks that will be built upon throughout the semester. Students missing class will lose points and loss of points will result in a lower overall grade. If the student misses more than three (3) class sessions, then the student must make an appointment with the instructor. It is the student’s responsibility to maintain a pace consistent with successful completion of all course work prior to the end of the summer session.

It is the student’s responsibility to be cognizant of all drop / refund dates and to take any such action as may be warranted.

Statement of Academic Integrity:
All examinations and work assignments must be completed by the individual student, unless otherwise instructed. Any act of plagiarism, cheating, theft, etc. will result in suspension from class.
