up daily as it is the primary method of communication between you and your instructor. Messages can only be sent and received through your Blackboard course. Access Messages from the Communications tab under Tools. Announcements can be placed on Blackboard at any time by your instructor. Visit your course frequently to keep up to date on course announcements and assignments. METHODS OF INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY: Didactic instruction, videos, interactive CD-ROMs, labs, hand-outs, discussion forums, and equipment demonstrations. REQUIRED TEXT, MATERIALS/SUPPLIES: 1. Electrical Motor Controls , Fourth Edition; Rockis & Mazur ATP, ISBN 978-0-8269-1217-6 2. Electrical Motor Controls, Workbook ATP, ISBN 978-0-8269-1208-4 3. Calculator & note taking materials 4. 3-ring binder (recommended) 5. A-B Controls CD-ROM (provided; must be returned to receive a grade.) METHOD(S) OF EVALUATION: Progress will be based on classroom participation, safety, hands-on activities, worksheets, discussion forums, quizzes and tests. Quizzes may be given daily without notice. Assignments are due the next class session after they are assigned. See Due Dates in the Course Schedule. Assignments submitted late will be assessed a 50% grade reduction for each day late. Most assignments will be submitted electronically through Blackboard. Students should attend all classes. Many lectures, demonstrations, and labs are completed in each course session. 160 safety points are given at the beginning of the course. Safety violations (no electrically-safe gloves, no safety glasses, failure to de-energize, improper test instrument operation, blowing fuses, skylarking) will result in points reduction from the Safety column of Gradecenter. MAKE-UP POLICY: In case of an absence you are responsible to reschedule missed labs and/or exams. Labs and exams will be made-up within one week of the absence. Missed worked not completed will be recorded as a zero (0) in the grade book in Blackboard. GRADING POLICY: Points are earned for each assignment, project, quiz, lab, discussion forum, and test completed. The total points earned compared to the total points possible will determine the Final Grade. See Gradecenter for the points value of each assignment. GRADING SCALE: Based on percentage of total points possible: A 90-100%, B 80-89%, C 70-79%, D 60-69%, F below 60% COURSE REQUIREMENTS: o Ensure cell phones and other electronic devices are turned off prior to entering the classroom.

There is absolutely no food or drink allowed on the lab benches in the classroom. School ID badges are to be worn to class and removed around rotating equipment. There is NO SMOKING on Ivy Tech Community College campuses. Respectful and professional conversation is expected. Profanity will not be tolerated.

TESTING REQUIREMENTS: As directed by Course Schedule. Tests will be completed outside of class and be due iaw the Course Schedule. Tests are to be completed individually with no outside assistance. See Academic Honesty Statement above. SPECIAL TECHNOLOGY NEEDS: Access to a PC or laptop with internet access to get to the Blackboard course management site. Microsoft WORD and Power point required to open hand -outs and other instructional materials. Adobe PDF reader required to view some of the INDT103 materials. Links to free downloads of these applications can be found at the Resources button of your Blackboard course. Open computer labs are available throughout the campus. TESTS, QUIZZES, PROJECTS, MODULES, ETC. Hands-on Labs. Successful completion of a course of study about motors requires the completion of several labs. Electricity is potentially harmful so safety must be observed at all times. Labs are due the week after they are conducted in the classroom. Labs will never be conducted alone unless supervised by the instructor. Students will work with the lab partner(s) assigned by the instructor. There is absolutely no food or drink allowed on the lab benches or on the training equipment. Always follow lab instructions as written. Don the appropriate PPE before measuring voltage on live-circuits. Remove all jewelry, necklaces, and lanyards. De-energize (remove power) from all motors and/or control circuits before inserting or removing any wires or cables.

Several of the assignments are completed through Blackboard with grades automatically posted. Pay attention to the criteria applied to each assignment/quiz. For instance, some quizzes allow multiple attempts, some assignments require grades to be documented and attached to a Message. Demonstration Summaries are required for each Demonstration conducted in the classroom. The written summary is a way for you to summarize the key aspects of the demonstration and ensure the concept is understood. 50 points are earned for each demonstration summary. Each summary will instruct you on what to list and cover in your summary to ensure full credit. Read the instructions closely and follow the format. The summaries are submitted through Blackboard and are accessible through the Discussions button on the Announcements screen of Blackboard. A link to the Discussions Forum is also found in the Session Folder where the demonstration summary is assigned. Summaries are due within one week of the demonstration. Demonstration Summary portals (access) are closed after one week with no provision for late submission. Allen-Bradley CD-ROM lessons are assigned throughout the course. Completion of these lessons requires
