How the course will fit together.

General Transportation Lab Policies

No 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 Know

Students 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 Know
Other 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!
