Introduction to Industrial Technology

Introduction to Industrial Technology CHENEY HIGH SCHOOL MR. SUTTER This class will provide you with basic information about lumber, lumber products, metal and metal products; lab safety, safe use and care of hand and power tools; and proper woodworking and metal working procedures. You must purchase lumber and metal that is used to produce projects in this class. *Any Industrial Technology bills received from this class must be paid within one week of receiving the bill. If you are not prepared or do not have the means to purchase lumber/metal please see me to discuss other options. CLASSROOM RULES 1) Follow all of the rules and directions the first time they are given. 2) Come to class prepared (pen/pencil, textbook, and notebook) on a daily basis. Always be ready to do book work. 3) Be in your seat, ready for class to start, when the bell rings. You are only allowed two tardies, after that there is a 30 minute detention. Excessive tardiness will not be tolerated! 4) Raise your hand to be recognized before speaking in class and for assistance; no talking or other noises while the teacher or another student is talking. 5) You will be allowed to use the bathroom, the telephone or go to the office only in EXTREME circumstances.

No leaving the shop without permission. 4) No horseplay, running, throwing things, yelling, misbehavior, food/eating, etc. while in the woodshop. 5) Clean up your own mess and put the tools away, don’t expect someone else to clean up after you. 6) Be working on your projects, quietly, in class. Use in class time for project work. EXPECTATIONS  Follow all of the school, classroom and woodshop rules.  Profanity will not be tolerated; infractions will result in loss of daily points to a detention based on the situation.  Productive use class time. When classroom/shop activities are assigned you will use the time to do and complete the work assigned. Wasting time will result in a severe decrease of your grade.  You will respect the property of the school and that of other students. Damaging, stealing and/or defacing school or student property will NOT be tolerated and are grounds for immediate (possibly permanent) removal from this class - consequences in accordance with Cheney’s School Discipline System (See student handbook)

CONSEQUENCES 1st Infraction = verbal warning - documented 2nd Infraction = discipline - contacting parents 3rd or more Infraction = removal from class – using handbook step system. Repeated safety violations and deliberate/gross misconduct will result in immediate removal from class. DRESS Because of the environment in which this Industrial Technology class is held, Cheney School District advises that students in this class wear clothing that is appropriate for the setting. In this class it is recommended that over shirts to cover up the student’s school clothes be used because of the staining and finishing of projects and other activities that can damage clothing. Cheney School District will not be responsible for clothing that becomes dirty and/or damaged from classroom/shop activities. Lockers are provided in the Industrial Technology Department for students to place clothes that would cover school clothes.  No sandals, open-toed shoes or slippers will be allowed to be worn in the labs, if you do not bring the correct shoes a detention will be issued and zero point for class participation. GRADES Quarter Grades - Points will be assigned to each graded activity and then placed into the categories below.  50% Performance (use of class time, attendance, teacher assessment-20 pts. per day possible)  30% Projects  10% Quizzes / Tests  10% Assignments (bookwork, worksheets) Semester Grade – Grades will be calculated using the following system:  45% Quarter 45% Quarter 10% Semester Exam Assignments – Complete assignments using blue/black pen or pencil, NO light colored or glitter pens. Be sure to include your name, date and page number on the top right corner of the page or on appropriate name line of any assignment turned in for a grade. Example:

STUDENT NAME CLASS DATE DUE PAGE OR ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

Late Assignments – Late assignments will be graded as follows:  1 day late = 50% of earned grade  2 or more days late = 0% of earned grade *A day is classified as the next actual class day for the class. For example: The assignment is due on a Monday; it is one day late on Wednesday and two days late on Friday of the same week. *Special circumstances must be addressed with Mr. Sutter prior if possible.

Scale – The following is the percent to letter grade scale used for this class:

100 - 90% = A 89 - 80% = B 79-70% = C 69 - 60% = D 59 – 00% = F

Projects: During the course of this year, students will be constructing 3 substantial projects.

 The first will be the Alstrom clock, with the cost of approximately $10-15

 The second project will be oak wall shelf, with the cost of approximately $18-20

 Third project will be a metal working project (to be determined at a later date) with the cost of approximately $10-20
