Grading System:
Percentage
Passing Grade:
70%
Grading Weight:
Final Exam: 100 %
Nature of Participation:
Students are expected to complete a variety of welds and may continue to practice welds until a pass is obtained
Percentage of Individual Work:
100
Course Offered in Other Programs:
No
Additional Comments:
As the course is self-paced, students may take up to three months to complete the entire 'B' level portion of the welding program. To obtain a passing grade in the practical portion, students may practice their welding techniques until a passing mark is obtained. Students requiring additional weeks to complete may purchase additional weeks of instruction on a weekly basis, and must have the instructor's approval. Students must attain a 70% theoretical mark for all modules.
