Overview
Course Pre-requisites
Safety
Safety in the woodworking classroom is the most important aspect of this course.
Students are expected to act in an appropriate manner that ensures the safety of themselves and
their fellow students and staff.
Safety lessons and tests will give students the knowledge of safe work practices in the
woodworking classroom. Students are required to achieve 100% on all safety tests in order to
gain access to the respective equipment.
Students that do not follow the classroom and tool safety requirements will be removed
from the class.
Evaluation/Assignments/Grading
The beauty of woodworking is that there is no finality to any work. Students will be
given as many opportunities as they need to create projects that meet a suitable level of quality
provided that the work is handed in by the end of the semester. However, as there are 4 major
projects, students are encouraged to follow the due dates set for each assigned project. The
minimum project quality level that will be accepted is a B (73%) grade.
The following is an overview of the course activities that will make up the students
final grade:
Student Expectations
1) The woodworking classroom is a fun and exciting environment that can become very
dangerous when students or staff fail to follow the safety protocols. Students are
expected to act in a manner that ensures the safety of all persons in the woodworking
classroom.
2) Students are expected to treat each other and staff with respect and acceptance of the
wide variety of cultural, economic, and religious backgrounds that makes up our
community.
3) Students are expected to arrive to class on time with the materials they will need for
