General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information Not Transferable Methods of Evaluation Objective Examinations Example: Exam will cover chapters from the text, e.g.: A multiple choice section will emphasize the points of how to read blueprints and the types of lines used. Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will show how to properly use lab machinery safely and properly, e.g.: Show the proper setup and safe use of the table saw. Rubric grading. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: Lab techniques will be presented in a "describe / show / review" methodology. Students will complete a safety test before using equipment. Instructor will work with students until they can successfully complete the test with 100% success rate. (Laboratory Objective 1) Lecture: The instructor will demonstrate proper handling of materials and equipment set-up to maintain safe working procedures. The student will be given an opportunity to clarify any questions in an instructor-guided discussion. (Lecture Objective 1) Distance Learning Students in online classes participate, individually and in groups, in discussion boards and respond to weekly assignments via the Learning Management System. The instructor will demonstrate proper coding for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) software. Students will the begin appraising CNC software and operations to create CNC code for the manufacture of products. (Lecture Objective 6 and Laboratory Objective 7) Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read text unit on machine and tool operations safety. Be prepared to pass a safety test. 2. Read the text units on joinery and cabinet structure. Be prepared to discuss and apply material. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Demonstrate proper hand tool safety operation. Instructor will evaluate student performance using a safety rubric. 2. Lab Assignments: A. Construct an assigned woodworking project. B. Construct an assigned CNC project. C. Demonstrate care, maintenance and proper adjustments of 3 major pieces wood working equipment: 1. Tablesaw 2. Jointer 3. Bandsaw D. Demonstrate care, maintenance and proper adjustments of 3 major woodworking power handtools: 1. Skillsaw 2.
