Each and every student must bring safety glasses and gloves to each class. Sparks and flying metal from welders and grinders can easily reach any point in the Lab. A cotton cap is recommended to avoid burns and because welding helmets are shared. No polyester clothing allowed. Students choosing to use their own prescription glasses, or who obtain safety glasses or gloves elsewhere, are responsible for assuring that these items are specified by their manufacturer for use as welding safety equipment.
Attendance is a critical factor in determining the course grade.
Many of the projects for this course require a lot of set-up and clean up time, so making up a single hour may be impractical. If you find it necessary to arrive late or leave early, you must report to the instructor. Class ends at 1550, and all students are expected to stay until that time and participate in cleaning up the Lab. There are no quizzes and no final exam. There will be a test next week, which you must pass to stay in the course.
