Activity List

How the course will fit together.

General Transportation Lab PoliciesNo food or drink in lab area.No book bags or coats (leave in your locker if possible). If you require your packs, leave them near the washbasin.Do not change settings on computer (i.e.. Change icons, desktop settings, etc.)Computers are Stand-a-lone. Do Not try to log-in.No games on computers.

Other Things You Should KnowStudents must sign in and out to leave the classroom. You must also list the location where you will be working in case we need to find you (e.g., Library). Clean up starts 5 min. before end of class (NO SOONER)!Failure to treat the room and equipment with respect will result in a general state of ugliness (youll see a side of your teacher you really dont want to).

Other Things You Should KnowOther tech teachers will likely drop by from time to time, so be careful. They are relatively harmless, but they can sense fear. Whatever you do, dont look them directly in the eyes (makes em edgy).Tech teachers tend to do not-so-bright things once in a while, so be patient with us. We are human after all (or at least thats the rumour).Treat the class, your classmates and your teacher with respect and this will be a really fun semester for everyone!More
