COURSE/CLASSROOM POLICIES 1. Attendance WARNING—READ CAREFULLY! If you accumulate unexcused absences exceeding 10% of the total eighty clock-hours required for this course as set forth by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, you will be dropped from class. You will receive the grade of W. If the final semester withdrawal date has passed, you will receive the grade of F. (This means you will be denying yourself credit for the course if you miss any combination of eight classes and/or lab times.) Excessive absences result in (1) your failure to progress towards the objectives of the course, (2) unfair demands on your instructor's time by taking him/her away from responsible students in order to catch you up on missed assignments, and most important (3) you become an increased safety risk due to your diminished familiarity with hazardous equipment and safety protocols. Lateness/Tardiness Any student coming to class or laboratory more than three minutes from the scheduled start time will be counted as absent. RC Policy on Attendance: Regular and punctual attendance in all classes and labs is required of all students.

Unexcused absences are counted from the first day of class as listed in the college calendar, regardless of the date of the student’s registration. The only excused absence is an authorized college activity. All work and/or assignments missed because of an excused absence must be completed within one week or the excused absence will be counted as unexcused. An excused absence during the one-week period does not extend the deadline for the completion of assignments. 4 Wldg 2406 – Intermediate Pipe Welding Ranger College – Welding Technology

Rev. F2015

Class starts at the scheduled time, you have three additional minutes to be in your seat, prepared for class. If you show up to class or more than three minutes late you will receive an unexcused absence for the class Any student leaving class or lab early will need to visit with the instructor before returning to class or lab. If the early departure is not justifiable, the student may be marked absent for the class or lab for that instructional time. 2. Class Participation Each student is encouraged to participate in classroom discussions and in lab. You are here to learn, and the best way to learn is by hands-on and participation. Always remember: safety comes first! 3. Missed Exams/Assignments/Make-up Policy All assignments and missed exam (s) are to be made-up within one week of the assignment or exam. Get with the Instructor during office hours to set-up a time to make it up. 4. Lab safety/health Safety lectures are done every day, before any equipment is used. Safety is the #1 factor in education and industry. Safety Regulations Welding can become very dangerous—even fatal—if you are careless and neglect safety precautions. Most accidents occur when people get in a hurry, so learn to pace yourself and move cautiously and deliberately. The College endeavors to provide you with proper training and a safe environment, but you must also do your part by abiding by the following rules. If you persistently violate these rules, you will be considered a safety risk and will be withdrawn from class: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

7. 8.

Wear your safety glasses at all times. ALWAYS place face shields and welding hoods with the lens side up!!! Wear your ear plugs in areas of high noise levels. Know the locations and proper use of fire extinguishers. They are located at the exit to every classroom and laboratory. Do not weld or grind near oxy-fuel tanks, manifold connections, or other potential sources for gas leaks. Beware of the signs of dehydration, especially during warm months: disorientation, confusion, light-headedness, flushed appearance, headache, and exhaustion. Do not wait until these signs appear—drink fluids and take breaks regularly. Be mindful of proper ventilation in your work area. When using portable grinders, be sure that you direct sparks away from others. 5


Rev. F2015

9. When using stationary pedestal grinders, be sure that the tool rest is adjusted as close to the grinding wheel as possible without touching it (1/16”). Always wear safety glasses when grinding and wire brushing. Do not wear gloves when using pedestal grinders. 10. Do not handle oxy-fuel equipment with oil or grease on your hands or clothing. 11. Do not wear loose clothing or dangling jewelry when working in the lab; tie up long hair. 12. Be sure that you have the proper shade of filter lens in your welding helmet or face shield. 13. Do not attach your ground lead to water pipes or electrical conduit. 14. When welding in a booth, keep your door closed. When welding in an open area, shield your arc with welding curtains. Always consider the line-of-sight between your arc and the eyes of bystanders. 15. To avoid burns to others, do not discard hot metal without first quenching it. Write “HOT” on objects too large to bring to the quench tank. 16. “Safety in the Welding Shop” in your textbook by Althouse, Turnquist, Bowditch, Bowditch, and Bowditch Modern Welding, 11th Edition mentioned earlier in this syllabus. 17. Report all accidents to your instructor without delay. If you suspect an unsafe condition or an equipment malfunction, bring it to you instructor’s attention IMMEDIATELY. Special Warning about Blood borne Pathogens A number of very serious Blood borne Pathogens lurk in today’s public environments that can be devastating to your health—even fatal: ·HIV — Human Immunodeficiency Virus ·AIDS — Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome ·Hepatitis A, B and C ·Tetanus — “lockjaw” ·MRSA — Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus ·Necrotizing Fasciitis— “flesh-eating disease” If you sustain a nick, cut, puncture, abrasion, or any wound in which blood surfaces— however minor—cease all activity immediately and proceed to a First Aid Kit to apply 6 Wldg 2406 – Intermediate Pipe Welding Ranger College – Welding Technology

antiseptic and a protective bandage. Time is critical in treating Blood borne Pathogens. Notify your instructor, who will call Campus Police for further assessment, and if necessary, Emergency Medical Services will be notified. You will need to fill out the following forms, as appropriate, to activate your student liability insurance. If your injury requires emergency room treatment, it is much easier to have your forms with you at the time of admittance. It is infinitely more tedious getting signatures from treating physicians and hospital personnel days after the occurrence. These forms are attached to the cabinet doors of the First Aid Kits: 1.Student Accident Liability Form 2.First Aid Log 3.Near-Miss Form Laboratory Policy 1. You must attend class at the time for which you are enrolled. 2. When you complete a project, request approval from your instructor. You will not be credited for unproved projects. 3. Cleanup time is ten minutes before the end of class. Sweep your immediate work area and return equipment to the tool room. Surrounding work areas must be cleaned with the combined efforts of all students. 4. Do not waste metal. Cut away practice welds and consolidate pieces. Do not remove metal from the shop. This will help keep lab fees reasonable in the face of rising costs for steel. a. If there is an equipment malfunction, inform your instructor immediately so that it can be repaired and returned to service. b. Smoking, dipping and chewing is not permitted on campus 5. Academic Dishonesty Any student caught cheating on any exam, report or project whether in the classroom, lab, or elsewhere, will earn a grade of F for this course. 6. Student Behavior Policy Everyone will conduct their selves in an adult manner at all times! Safety is the #1 factor and anyone caught in any kind of horseplay will be reprimanded or dismissed for the rest of the class period with an unexcused absence. NO TOBACCO! No PHONES!!! No Electronic devices other than a calculator. 7 Wldg 2406 – Intermediate Pipe Welding Ranger College – Welding Technology

Final Grade will consist of one final and it will make up 10% of the students final grade.

The guidelines for grading the project are: 1. How well he or she positioned their test pads (SC 6.3– 8.2) 2. How well they maintained slag-free welds (SC 8.2 – 9.5) 3. How well they keep their welds tight and straight (SC 8.2 – 9.5) 8 Wldg 2406 – Intermediate Pipe Welding Ranger College – Welding Technology

Rev. F2015

4. How well the student uses his or her time to complete a project (SC 4.3) 5. How well the student prepares the test pad for the instructor to grade (SC 8.2 – 9.5) The grading scale for the project is: A - The ideal weld has a straight, tight, and clean weld that has perfect uniformity. When this test pad has been cut, ground, and filed, it will show no evidence of slag or improper penetration. B - A good weld has the desirable quality of beads that have been run straight and tight; however, bead patterns are not consistent with each other. C - A fair weld shows that the welder needs more practice in keeping his or her welds straight, tight, clean and uniform. D - A poor weld is one that lacks all of the above qualities and will not be accepted by the instructor. The instructor will use the guidelines in the AWS D1.1 codebook or API codebook. XI.
