Purpose:		The primary purpose of this course is to meet the Federal Aviation Administration requirements for certification as an Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance Technician.
Topics:			See attached Reading Assignment and Exam Schedule
Grading Basis:		Because the Aviation Maintenance Technician Program is both a community college curriculum and a Federal Aviation Administration approved curriculum at the same site, two grading systems are used.  The FAA subject scores are computed as follows: A percent score will be used to compute all graded work where possible.  Lab projects may also be graded on the basis of airworthiness, safety, ability to follow instructions, and professional approach to each project.   When each subject is completed, the instructor will combine all lecture and lab scores in that subject and convert it to a percent score.  Wherever possible, lecture and lab scores will be weighted equally.  This score is the FAA Subject Score.  Important Note:  Each one of the 44 FAA subject scores must be at or above 70% to receive credit toward the Airframe and Powerplant Certificate.  The College grade has no bearing upon meeting the FAA guidelines.

         			FAA Subject Grading System:
	         		(Sample calculation)
Lecture	Total possible		Student score
		Test 1		 20			 15
		Test 2		 20			 18
		Test 3		 20			 13
		Test 4		 20			 19
		Test 5		 20			 14
		Quiz 6		 20			 15
		Quiz 7		 20			 16		
				Exam 1		100			  81
				Subtotal	240			191	79.58%
				Lab							
Project 1	 20			  15
Project 2	 20			  18
Project 3	 20			  16			
				Project 4	 20			  14
				Subtotal	 80			  63	78.75%

Each completed subject score is “weighted” in proportion to the number of hours of instruction it contains.  These weighted scores are then combined with the College final exam, which is 20% of the final grade.   This score is the College Grade. The college grade is simply an average of all work completed in the course.  
College Grading System	
(Sample calculation)
Subjects Taken	Grade		Hours/Subject	Factor
		Subject “A”		70%		20 hours		.5
				Subject “B”		50%		10 hours		.25
				Subject “C”		80%		10 hours		.25
									40 hours total
To arrive at the College grade, multiply each subject grade times the factor determined by course length, and add the scores together.  Then add in the final exam score weighted at 20% of the total score.  The College letter grade scale is as follows:  
	100-90% = A;	  89-80% = B;							  79-70% = C;	  69-60% = D;		59-0%   = F	
Attendance Policy:	Students are expected to meet in the assigned area for roll call in the Aero building no later than 8:00 AM each day. A student missing more than 3 days in any “course” may be dropped from that Course.
LATE ARRIVAL TO CLASS:  Since good work habits are needed to become a successful aircraft maintenance technician, a student arriving late for class more than three times in any “course” could be subject to dismissal from that Aero Course.  Students shall report the time missed for taking any unauthorized breaks, or for missing any portion of lecture or lab to the instructor responsible for recording his or her progress for that day.

3.	The use of any form of tobacco is only permitted outside at the South entrance to the Aero building. No smoking within 20 feet of entrance or exit of building. Please help keep the area clean.
