Mr. Kasper's Auto Shop

This class covers Brake Repair from the basics to giving students an
Introduction to Anti-Lock Systems. Students will have Classroom and
Hands-On Practice which includes simulated brake repairs and live
repairs (as practical). Students can expect a greater % of Hands On
activities in this class, Approximately 70% Shop Activities and 30&
Classroom. 

 Students will practice replacing brake components on the workbench and machining brake drums & rotors that don't belong to customers cars. Students MUST demonstrate mastery in practice situations before proceeding to a live repair. The goal is to progress to making repairs on customer's vehicles.

If your car is in need of a future Brake Repair, you would have considerable savings by repairing during this class rather than waiting for the brakes to be completely wore out. 

This is an Advanced Class in that the class is formated for the 2nd and 3rd
year student expected to Graduate and proceed to the job market or
enter more advanced training.

One of the expectations is that
these students will keep a record of their shop activities. A document
is provided called the 'Work Record'. One is provided to each student
every 3 weeks. (it can also be kept on notebook paper)

The goal
is to form a habit of tracking your own daily progress just as a
professional technician will track his tickets and job hours.

Student are given the 1st 5 minutes of the class period to accomplish this task. It is considered a 'bellringer activity"

Extra Credit for the 1st Quater is to bring in a Motor Oil bottle for the classroom collection.

There are some rules:

1.
You must bring a bottle that is not already on the shelf. It may be
full or empty. If empty it must have the top and be clean.

2. You
may have the same brand, weigth or type of oil as an existing bottle as
long as it has a new label or different weight or type.

3. First come first serve, once a person has brought in a specific bottle, no one else can get credit for the same bottle.

4.
Additional extra credit will be given for very unusual bottles, such
as ones that are very old (like a metal can) or maybe one from another country.

Go to an NEW CAR DEALERSHIP and obtain a brochure about a new car and bring it to class.

The deadline is 2 days before the last full class day (check the calendar)

There
are a few rules. Only one item per student. Once that item has been
turned in it is null and void for another student to turn in. (ie .a
duplicate)

Beware: There may be a validation question for you
to answer to prove you really did this yourself. The goal is to get you
into a new car dealership. It doesn't cost you any money and feel free
to tell the dealer it's for school.
